Subject: Make ahead dinners
I have 1-2 nights per week that need something made ahead and reheated super-fast or warmed in the oven for an hour.
My go-tos are:
Lasagna / baked ziti
Chicken enchiladas or chilaquiles
Chili
Really any kind of soup, but needs to be hearty for my teen athletes. Sausage/lentil, beef stew, chicken noodle (heavy on the chicken). Always have a bag of sliced veggies and a loaf of bread to pull out with it.
Shepherd’s pie / cottage pie
Fish or shrimp also cook up really fast in a skillet. If I have sides pre-made and ready to go, I can cook the seafood in 5-10 minutes. For example last week I made cornbread and coleslaw the night before, then cooked salmon fillets really fast.

What are some of your favorite make ahead meals? Either batch prepped or meals that can be made in the morning/afternoon, and served for dinner. Thanks
