For a TON of make-ahead meals, search online for "freezer meals," "OAMC" or "make-ahead" meals. (OAMC stands for "once a month cooking.") There is SO much more out there than casseroles and baked goods. And you can skip the unhealthy meals, or modify them to be much healthier. I work nights, so I freeze meals in advance that I can prepare for the family during my hour lunch break. With the commute, I have to have the meal ready in 15 minutes. Thanks to freezer meals, we eat like kings and get a lot of veggies without chemicals and preservatives you'd see in store-bought convenience foods.
