Dream Dinners has a book has great freezable recipes. They're similar to Once A Month cooking, but without the cooking. You just assemble the meals.

Swiss Chicken is my favorite.

Haha to your number four…reminds me of a couple weeks ago (when my new baby was still on the inside) when my 3-year-old son waddled side-to-side down the hallway, then turned back to announce, "I'm walking like I have a baby in my tummy!"

Asparagus Egg Bake (my MIL's recipe). Layer canned asparagus, sliced hard boiled eggs, and thick white sauce w/ cheese, repeat, then top with cracker crumbs mixed w/ a little butter.

We use canned asparagus because fresh is just a bit too crunchy for this dish.

Cook @ 350 for 30 minutes.

One of my favorites is chicken enchiladas. It keeps and reheats well. Burrito Pie is always a hit.

For dessert I sometimes take an ice cream pie. Put almost a whole package of Oreos (Or Cameos, or shortcake cookies, or graham crackers) in the food processor and make crumbs. Mix with some melted butter and bake 10 minutes or so, until it sets up a bit. Stir some softened ice cream a bit to make it smooth, fill the crust with the ice cream, and freeze. I like cookies and cream with oreo crust, dulce de leche with cameo crust, strawberry with shortcake crust, or chocolate with oreo crust. you really can't go wrong.

The only casserole I make is the "Cauliflower and Mushroom Potpie with Black Olive Crust" from Veganomicon. I don't want to post the entire recipe since it's a book, but basically it's sauteed cauliflower, mushrooms, leeks and carrots in a white sauce with tarragon, thyme and marjoram; covered with a pie crust with chopped olives. I make it unvegan by using regular milk and butter instead of soy milk and margarine, and it's so, so good.

Recipes for Freezer Cooking

I'm thinking the stuffed microwave meatloaf sounds intriguing.

Probably too late on this one, but my fav potluck dish is chicken drumsticks (baked or fried).
They're fairly cheap, and potlucks tend to be low on main dishes/meats so they always get gobbled up

I think the idea of a prayer per page is marvelous! (It will be hard to typeset, though, unless you put it into the footer, because typewritten pages and typeset pages are of differing lengths.)
