A little explanation first: my mom is having knee surgery soon and won't be able to do any cooking for a few weeks. My dad is basically incompetent when it comes to cooking — he can make soup in a cup, TV dinners, frozen pizzas, and microwave leftovers. My grandma lives with them too so she can do some stove-top cooking. So I need your help! I don't do a whole lot of serious cooking myself so I don't have a lot of ideas.
What dishes can I prepare ahead of time for them that are easy to reheat from frozen? Ideas so far:
- Lasagna
- Ground beef for tacos (they're capable of assembly, thankfully)
- Breaded or marinated chicken
- Chili
What other dishes can I leave foolproof instructions for? Ideas:
- Salad kits
- Roasted seasoned vegetables (maybe)
- Sausage/burgers (I'll be teaching dad how the grill works)
- Crock pot meals (limited ingredients, no soups)
Stuff I already plan to purchase: chicken kiev, steam fresh frozen vegetables, crock pot sauces, frozen garlic bread, frozen pizzas, pasta and sauce, various other frozen things.
Thanks very much for anyone who can contribute!
