So I'm all about some make ahead meals. I joked on Monday that I would have a list of my favorite fast food meals as my make ahead meals...and I wasn't entirely kidding.
Since it's just me and since I live less than five minutes from Chick-fil-a, Taco Bell, and Zaxby's (my three favorite fast food joints), it is so incredibly easy to just go through the drive thru when I have a busy night.
But seeing as how my pants are tighter than ever and I genuinely do care what goes into my body (ignore the Sprite and brownies I am currently eating- it is stress, people, and lots of it), I do try to make some meals ahead.
Here are my most favorite with links:
Breakfast Casserole- this is easy, and it's paleo approved too! So long as you get the right kind of meat, but veggies, spinach, and eggs are definitely Paleo approved. I eat a few squares of this, along with some protein balls, and I am full all morning until lunch. **The recipe makes muffins, I just pour mine into a casserole dish or baking pan and cut it into pieces. I hate pouring out muffins or cupcakes, so I avoid it if I can.
Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash- alright, look. Spaghetti squash is a royal pain to try to open and cook. But once you do the hard work and get that sucker open and scraped, it is DELISH. Seriously. I was skeptical at first, but I am a huge fan of spaghetti squash. And this makes a ton. Also paleo approved, so long as you leave out the blue cheese crumbles.
Crock Pot Cream Cheese Chicken Chili- this is most definitely NOT paleo approved, but it is Elise approved. This junk is DELICIOUS with some sour cream and tortilla chips on top. Love it on a chilly day.
Shredded Buffalo Chicken- this is pretty good on a hamburger bun with some pepper jack cheese on top. It's easy and makes a ton.
Those are my favorite, made most often meals. They make a lot (at least for one person), and they're easy to freeze and/or reheat. I also enjoy frozen pizzas, tacos, salads, and QT taquitos and buffalo chicken on the reg as well.

love your list! I have found that pretty much any casserole can be made ahead and frozen, I just wait until I cook to add cheese or other toppings like crackers. Since coming back from maternity leave I try to just prep a couple meals on Sunday - then I just stick them in the fridge, cook on Monday and Tuesday and enjoy leftovers the rest of the week!
