I am starting a new job this week, involving me cooking for a father and his son. I will prepare several meals for the week and freeze them so he can just warm them up as they are ready to eat them.
Can you give me any suggestions for simple meals.
I like to cook from scratch, hardly ever do I use prepackaged meals (i.e. hamburger helper)
And there is a peanut allergy.
That's it!
What have you got?

Lasagna
Chili
Beef Stew (any kind of stew)
Meatloaf
Pulled Pork (both bbq'ed and cooked pernil style--you can then divide it up and freeze and make into other dishes)
Casseroles
Meatballs (you can make these and separate and pull them out to make different meals)
Stuffed Peppers
Enchiladas
Burritos
Calzones
Chicken (you can roast a chicken and freeze it and take it out when needed)
I work too and oftentimes I do the bulk of the cooking Sundays and freeze or make things that I can turn into something else really quick during the week.

Chicken and rice Casserole
1 pound boneless chicken breasts (or pork chops)
1 can beef or chicken gravy
1 can beef or chick stock/broth
1 large onion sliced
1 bell pepper sliced (optional)
1 tomato sliced (optional)
1 can sliced mushrooms
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked regular rice
1 large baking dish sprayed with Pam
Salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 375
Season meat and lightly brown in a pan
Take prepared pan and spread out the uncooked rice
When meat is brown place on top of rice
Pour over gravy and broth
Add onions, bell pepper and tomato slices over each piece of meat
and then pour over the water
Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove
foil and bake another 5-10 minutes or until most of the
liquid is absorbed or cook less if you want juicer rice.

I'm sure there are tons more, but here is just a few ideas:
- Stews (chicken, beef, lamb)
- Pot pies (you can make extra stew and have one meal of stew and use the same stew to put in the bottom of a dish and top with pastry for a pot pie)
- lasagna or baked penne topped with cheese
- sheppards pie
- meatloaf
- hamburgers or chicken burgers
- chicken fingers (bread the chicken stips, then freeze them)
