Good recipes/meals/dishes to make ahead of time for my man to take to work that can be microwaved if needed?

My boyfriend works nights and has to take his dinner and snacks and such. I want to make him some meals ahead of time that he can take and warm up so he isnt eating frozen meals. Any good ideas that are filling, healthy, and good? Thanks!Good recipes/meals/dishes to make ahead of time for my man to take to work that can be microwaved if needed?

Spaghetti PIe





12 servings





Ingredients





3 tablespoons butter, softened


1 pound spaghetti


salt, for pasta


12 eggs, lightly beaten


1 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese


¼ cup extra virgin olive oil


1 garlic clove, very finely minced


½ cup Italian parsley, chopped


salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste


1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded





Equipment





9” x 12” baking dish, preferably glass€





Preparation





Lightly grease the inside of a 9” x 12” baking dish with the butter. Preheat the oven to 350° F.





Prepare the spaghetti according to the package directions and undercook by 2 or 3 minutes. It should be very al dente. Drain and rinse with cool water. Set aside.





Beat the eggs lightly to combine. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil, finely minced garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.





[Chef’s Note: Be sure not to add too much salt as the cheese has plenty of salt already.]





Add the egg mixture to the spaghetti and mix until all the spaghetti is well blended with the eggs. Pour into the buttered baking dish and spread the spaghetti mixture evenly in the pan. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes or until the eggs are completely set. Uncover the spaghetti pie and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and bake, uncovered, for another 5 minutes or until the mozzarella is melted and slightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool.





Service





Spaghetti pie is best served at room temperature. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If longer storage is required, it can be wrapped in plastic wrap and then in foil and placed in the freezer for up to a month. Thaw and bring back to room temperature before serving.





Variations





Spaghetti pie is one of those delightful recipes that can be creatively adapted to individual tastes. Feel free to add your own special ingredients such as pepperoni, prosciutto, maple ham, sun dried tomatoes, blanched vegetables or other types of grated cheese. You can also substitute whole wheat or spinach spaghetti, or even linguine or fettucine
Thats why I always make extra helpings at dinner. We live about 10 minutes from where my husband works so he comes home and reheats the leftovers.
Snacks.- Tuna with crackers


deli sandwhiches ( ham %26amp; cheese, roast beef, turkey), grilled cheese sandwhiches





Dinner- Hamburger helper, meatloaf with vegetables, lasagna, baked chicken with mashed potatoes.
