Can y'all suggest some easy to prepare ahead of time meals for me? I love to cook and always make enough for left overs I can take to work or have for dinner after work. I work 12-hour shifts so I need some quickie meals. I'm working the next 4 days in a row so need to cook some today. I'm making a baked ziti this afternoon but don't really want to eat that for the next 4 days. I usually grill up some stuff but just don't have time today with all the other errands I gotta do.

What about chicken enchiladas. I also will just cook pork/steak/chicken and broil some veggies that way all I have to do is throw it together and heat it up. I do that alot. I cook on Sunday for the week and just use what's in the fridge each night to assemble something.

Last week a Pea, (maybe AKathy? ) mentioned making the Barefoot contessa's Lobster salad. So since it was predicted to be very hot today I got the ingredients and made it. (well half the recipe, as the recipe serves 16 ) So now that I've tasted that I can recommend that as a great make ahead meal. It's so good. recipe

Cook a whole chicken in the crockpot, then eat on that for a couple of days. Save the bones and make broth from them, if you have time.
Meatballs made ahead of time can be used for several kinds of dishes - spaghetti and meatballs, Swedish meatballs, teriyaki meatballs over rice. Just change up the spices you use when you're making the meatballs.
