I, sometimes, cook ahead and make several meals at once. This helps with days when the kids are hyped up, the house is a pit, and my nerves are shot. 
I visit several websites for meal ideas, but my favorite is onceamonthmom.com. The regular recipes are free, but if you'd want to utilize their menu builder, and tools that help you adjust for people in your household and the amount of times in that month you want to eat that meal, there's a small charge.
Anyway, I'm going to share a few of my FAVORITE recipes from there, here, in case you guys want to see.
Thanks!
