MEALS
Muffin tins are your friends! I bake lasagna (using thin sliced zucchini as noodles), meatloaf, and quiches in muffin tins and freeze the leftovers for later.
Another great investment is a vacuum sealer. My parents bought me a Foodsaver last Christmas, so now when I buy chicken breasts or pieces of meat I can vacuum seal them in individual portions. I usually put some seasonings in the bag with them, label and freeze. Then I can just pick out the one I'm in the mood for (a package might say "4 oz. chicken breast with Italian seasoning") and thaw it out.
