Answer 2

Stick to something simple and that will refrigerate well.
Homemade soups
Chili
Sandwich makings (just make sure it is good ingredients like hoogie buns, nice cheese, etc.)
Taco salad makings
A large chef's salad works well

a roasted chicken and ranch baked potatoes and a salad or green beans

Ranch baked potatoes
Peel potatoes and boil with a little salt till almost done.
Drain, add a little black pepper, prepared ranch dressing and put into a sprayed casserole dish. Top with butter and cheese of choice. Bake at 400 degrees covered for 30 minutes.
