One of our "quick fix" meals is refried beans and tortillas.  My 2 1/2
year old loves the beans from Taco Bell, so I do my own too.  We always
have extra sauce packets from the drive through.  I buy the small cans
with a pop top lid.  I give her about half a can.  Put some mild sauce on
it and microwave it for 20-30 sec.  I cut the tortilla into little
triangles.

Another great make ahead / keep in the freezer must for us is mini hot
dogs in a blanket.  I use the cocktail size Addells chicken and apple
ones which are the only ones I've found that don't have corn.  Hebrew
National also makes a cocktail size, but I can't find them 'round here.
I use the Pilsbury Reduced Fat Cresent Rolls and cut each into quarters.
Wrap the little dogs and bake them about 10 minutes.  Put them on a rack
and cool.  Put them on a tray and freeze.  Then just put them in a zipper
bag or other airtight container.  I take a few out and heat them up in
the wave.

I also have made chicken nuggets and frozen them, but that's a lot more
work up front.  When I make spaghetti sauce, I freeze 2 oz containers
then I just have to cook pasta.
