I’m doing the Domestic Goddess thing and preparing make-ahead meals to freeze until needed. I need to do my work more hours in the day and have found that this is possible only when dinner is already made. Paul is ’round the clock with work and house, so I’m picking up a lot more on the second shift (first shift = career; second shift = housewife) — in other words, the grind of all professional Moms.
I did this Brunswick Stew before the holidays and it worked well. Highly recommended for ease, freezes great, and even my Dad (who keeps a very limited meat-and-salad diet and never misses an opportunity to poke fun of something I’ve made or done) liked it.
Any suggestions of other good make-aheads that are easy and kid-approved?
Or, any suggestions of interesting things to do with leftover white rice (that aren’t fried rice?)

You can always create a rice pilaf with the left over white rice and then use it as a stuffing for roasted veggies or meats. You can create the pilaf and freeze it then use it later on as the stuffing. Or you can stuff par boiled veggies and roast them off later as a meal.
