[quote=Anonymous]We use frozen stuff - ravioli, quiche, taquitos, ricebowls, pizza, meatballs etc. But also cook a lot at home because kids like a lot of variety.

Menu for the week and food prep is key for us. I usually do small quantities of food prep so that I am covered for around 3 days. If I need more then I can prep in the middle of the week.

I normally will have these in my fridge -
- Sautéed onions,  green peppers, cabbage - and I add these to my pressed sandwiches, stuffed omelets, quesadillas, fajitas, dosas, fried rice, curries, pastas, ramen noodles.
- Boiled potatoes - these go in shepherd pie, mashed potatoes, paranthas, aloo curry, stuffed sandwich, samosas, stuffed paranthas, raitas, veggi burgers, chaat. 
- Boiled eggs - sandwiches, egg curry, by itself, salads
- Dosa batter - once a month and depending on my weekly menu, I will make a huge batch of batter and keep in fridge. I usually split with my sister. Use it for dosa, idlis and uttapam. 
- Home made yogurt - used for eating plain, raitas, lassi, marinades, kadhi, curd-rice. 
- blanched greens (spinach, kale).  I use it for making saag paneer, I add it in dosa batter, in bread batter, smoothies and anything I can add to.
- kneaded dough - for all sorts of indian breads and a knockoff  &pizza base.  
- two or three kinds of chutneys - I use these a lot.  I mix it in all kinds of dishes, snacks, salads, breads.

In my freezer I keep  -
- chilli  - I use it as chilli as well as filling for shepherd pies
- kebabs - in snacks, sides, wraps. 
- roasted eggplants   -  Baba ghanoush, baigan bharta.  
- curry masala (fried onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, cilantro, green chillies)

Cooking goes fast. Normally we add some salad, fruits, yogurt/cheese to the meals too to make it more balanced. [/quote]
