That's one way, but I prefer cooking lots of food at one time, then
parecelling it out into appropriate-sized portions for current and
future meals so that there's always something in the house that can be
prepared quickly when we come home ravenous.

When I was single, I got the hang of making nukable dinners using a
similar pattern to the ones in the market. Now I could fill the
freezer with them, if my DH didn't finish them off so quickly<G>
