I'm doing well staying away from frozen dinners since I started about a month ago. I don't really miss them since the homemade stuff tastes so much better anyway. Yeah, it's a time thing, but I've found that turning a big dish into a project on the weekend is kinda fun. Plus I've gotten bags of individual chicken breasts and individual salmon pieces, so I don't need to eat it all at once.

I'm pondering doing a turkey. I've done a turkey before at my place for Thanksgiving, so I'm not a turkey virgin - I'm just wondering about the price of these things this non-holiday time of year. I could also do a ham, but I'm not a very big ham eater. And I don't know many things ham could turn into. With the turkey, it would become enchiladas and soup and...

Hmm. I need more ideas for big batches of things that I can make and then break down into individual frozen servings.

Anyone have any ideas? I don't need actual recipes - general dishes would be fine. I've done lasagna, enchiladas, chicken soup, tomato soup, and red beans & rice so far.
