I have made it part of my routine to cook and freeze meals. As in, I typically cook 8-10 servings of something and freeze most of them to be consumed later. This means I tend lean towards relatively simple, easy-to-scale dishes that freeze and reheat well.

Some recipes/meals that are in my arsenal:

• pasta with cheesy meaty red sauce
• 1 pan turkey veggie rice bowl
• crock pot burrito filling
• split pea soup
• shepherd's pie
• chicken noodle soup
• lentil soup
• chili

I like this method of meal prepping because

• It allows quite a bit of variety in what I eat from day to day (now that my collection is sufficiently stocked) and I am less likely to be bored by the options I have
• There is always an easy, convenient meal available to me if I don't feel like cooking
• I have found myself eating out less because of the two reasons above
• I enjoy cooking and still get to do it basically as often as I want

Drawbacks of doing this

• My freezer can get very full very fast
• It took me a while to obtain enough containers to hold enough meals for it to truly be convenient. And most of them are plastic, which I don't love for reheating purposes.
  • this can be mitigated by thawing a bit and then reheating in a separate container, though, but creates an extra dish
• The stakes are higher. If you mess up a recipe, then you're stuck with a lot of it. Or you have to throw out a lot of food
