Basically any kind of soup. Stromboli, pizza, pot pie and mac and cheese.

Just about anything. I'll make a big pot of chili, soups, sauces, stews, just portion it out and freeze it. pull it out before work, and just make a side dish while you're heating it up after work - 10 minutes later, dinner's ready. I do it all the time - just last night actually.
I've also been known to buy ground beef in large packages, fry it all up, portion it out, and freeze it. That way I've got it if I want tacos or taco salads. Plus, it's good if I forget to take something out of the freezer before work - just pull the cooked meat out, pop it into the microwave for 2 or 3 minutes, and throw it into some jarred sauce. By the time the pasta's cooked, the meat and sauce are warm.
Good luck!

I'm single and it is hard to cook for just one! There are a lot of meals I cook and freeze. Making my own T.V. Dinners. If places that make T.V. Dinners can do it, so can I. Only mine are a lot tastier and healthier! When I make spaghetti sauce, I divide it up into individual freezer containers and just cook a serving of noodles when I want spaghetti. I portion home made stews and soups this way too.
Think about it! Look at the freezer section at the grocers, if they can cook it and freeze it, so can you!

Any Italian casserole-like dish seems to always work well for me, like ziti, manicotti, lasagna, etc.
Pancakes work well, also (my kids love it, and I can have something quick and hot even on a busy Monday morning.)
Chili- Make double and triple batches (well, depending on how big your crew is) and then separate them into single or double sized servings in tupperware for 'in-a-pinch' nights or when everyone can fend for themselves.
Meatballs-if you make your own, do so ahead of time. You can line them up in rows on a sheet pan/cookie sheet and freeze them for a few hours, then transfer them into ziplock bags. Then when you're making sauce you can just toss them in. Or you can bake them in the oven @ 350* for an hour.
Prepare your produce/ vegetables when you bring them home from the grocery store. I usually cut and rinse green beans, brocolli, snap peas and red bell pepper and drain them. Once dry, i stick it all in a ziplock bag and toss it in the freezer. Once I've sauteed some chicken or tofu, I just grab the bag of veggies and toss it in the pan with some seasoning for some really quick, hardly-any-prep stir-fry.
HTH!

Lasagna freezes well but it will take a while to bake in oven from frozen state but I have microwaved it too. Homemade chili freezes well, also Italian meat sauce. Put in microwave and it should be ready by the time the water boils for the pasta and the salad is ready. Vegetable beef soup also freezes well and defrosts and heats in microwave OK.

Your Not Suppose To Eat Anything In A Package!!

Just about anything. I would shy away from freezing things with a lot of egg in it...like quiche or souffle but I'm sure even those could be frozen if packaged properly.
