| Another thing that I do when I am at home and not in the RV is that I make double and triple batches of casserole dishes. I cook one of them for that night's meal and make and freeze the other one or two. This not only saves money because I can purchase the ingredients in bulk, but it saves an incredible amount of time, which I have a very limited supply of.
For 3 meals, I shop once and prep once. The next two meals are just taken from the freezer at a later date. I use foil or plastic and a Sharpie marker to mark the date and title of the dish. DH loves it because I cook up a storm between semesters and then, while I am away, DH can just pull things from the freezer for a home style meal rather than something a guy who is acting as a bachelor would make.
