[quote=Anonymous]Google "freezer dump meals"

Casserole is your friend. baked ziti is easy af. Make two, freeze one for later.

If you don't already have an instant pot, get one. SO many easy, one-pot, "freezer to table in 30-minutes, hands off". There's a lot of easy air fryer recipes now, too. Look for things that let you be somewhere else while your food is heating/cooking so you can multitask.

Slow cookers are also your friend (when it's cooler outside). Chili, stews, braises... Make double, freeze half.

Get rotisserie chicken (however many you need to serve your family). Have chicken legs w/ a salad (bagged, ready to eat) the first night. Cut up the breast meat and have chicken and rice/beans another night. Make any leftovers into burritos or quesadillas after that. Make a big batch of meatballs. Freeze some, have some with pasta, have meatball sandwiches later.

Sardines are great protein and pretty inexpensive. Crack open a can over some rice and veggies, or put them on toast with a bit of cream cheese and capers and serve with a side of fresh fruit and some cucumber.

Breakfast for dinner is easy and quick. Breakfast sandwiches/wraps can be made ahead and frozen for easy reheating. Add broccoli and carrots to scrambled eggs and cook in a casserole dish. Cut into squares and add to english muffins w/ a sausage patty and some cheese, or a tortilla w/ beans and cheese. Freeze individually on a cookie sheet or wrap in foil.

Wash fruit and cut up veg on the weekend when you have more time to meal prep. Cook once, eat several times from what you made.[/quote]
