Get yourself a soup cookbook. It's too warm half the year, but in cooler months I make a pot of soup every weekend. Almost everything that goes in the pot could come from the freezer and the leftovers can go back in for another week. Heavy on the vegetables and it's healthy. Heavy on the meat and it's hearty. Change the seasonings around and keep ingredients separate to make changes to the next night's pot. For instance, I can make a chicken noodle soup and using the same ingredients (less the noodles) the next night add some curry powder and diced apples and you have something entirely different. I got used to cooking for a family of 6 and when the kids moved out, there was an adjustment necessary. I'm still cooking for two but Mrs BamaVol eats like a bird so I cook to please myself.
