5 delicious make-ahead meals
Don't have time to make a full meal every night? Here are some great ideas for dinners you can make ahead of time, putting less stress on you.
-
Spanish chorizo frittata
To save time, you can make this Spanish inspired dish ahead of time and warm it up before mealtime. It’s so versatile, it can even be enjoyed at room temperature. The flavours complement each other perfectly.

Sausage corn chowder
This soup is quick enough to throw together on a weeknight or keeps well enough to qualify as a go-to make-ahead meal.
-
Brisket in BBQ gravy
This is a great dish to make ahead of time because brisket is just as good after being frozen and reheated later. It also makes great leftover sandwiches.

Seriously overbaked beef stew
Stews are perfect as make-ahead meals because they keep for a long time in the freezer. Make in advance and serve with garlic bread or on a bed of rice.

perhaps you can substitute with chicken sausage and light shredded mozzarella cheese. Much healthier options and would reduce fat and calories drastically!

Yes, I started writing down the ingredients to make this tonight, but stopped as soon as I saw the calories and fat. There must be some easy ways to reduce - would have to experiment before I'd serve this at home.

792 calories and 45 grams of fat per serving??? that is outrageous and should not be served to a family or any children. Where are some healthy options???
