Prepare ahead and freeze!

I have major plans to make a few large meals this evening to freeze in smaller portions in order to eat throughout the week or longer. Any recommendations?

Enchiladas, shepard's pie, lasagna/baked pasta, eggplant/chicken parm (with pasta), soups.

I am always on the look out for dishes that freeze well. I have had good luck with chicken tetrazzini, chicken and rice, stuffed bell peppers and several different soups - chicken and rice, gumbo, beef vegetable, and minestrone.

Boeuf bourgignon (spelling?) works great for me, even with the mushrooms. Soups too - I've had luck with squash-based soups (butternut and parsnip is good) and mushroom soup.

Enchiladas -- I always make two batches and freeze one.

Chili colorado or verde, beef and beet borscht, chicken enchiladas, pizza dough, gumbo, stew, ragu for countless pasta dishes, roasted poblanos to add zip to any future dish, sauteed wild 'shrooms when they're in season, and small packages of roasted poultry for future crepes, soups, omelettes, etc.
