Make a big pot of soup, chili, or stew and freeze the rest in bowls. Just thaw and heat up for the next meal. Out of one large soup pot, I can get 5 meals or more, depending on what it is.

Great idea, Nikki! I freeze mine in freezer bags but bowls (reusable and microwave-safe, of course) would save time and money. I'll keep my eyes open for some stackable, covered plastic bowls for this...
I saw somewhere else that you can place a freezer bag inside of a bowl, then pour in your soup, chili, etc, squeeze out the air, and close the bag. Then freeze. Once it's frozen, pop it out of the bowl, and stack the bowl-shaped ziplock bags. When you are ready for a meal, pop it into a bowl and microwave!
