No recipes for this week, just a tip! My husband's grandmother used to save the partitioned aluminum TV dinner trays, wash, and then make her own TV dinners with her own leftovers. While it may not be practical to save the plastic thingies that little frozen dinners come in today (and some come in biodegradable cardboard), you can buy partitioned plates that are microwave safe and make your own "TV dinners."
Pay attention to which recipes "freeze well" or "reheats well" or conversely "doesn't reheat well" if you get recipes with those sort of notes. If you have a handful of recipes that do, and the rest don't, ask the contributors – "Hey, how does X reheat, does it make good leftovers?" – and include those additional notes in the cookbook. If you're trying to save a little money and take lunches to work and not eat out, knowing which things reheat well (and which don't!) is great information to have.
