Long story short: One of my aunts is in a rehab facility for a serious fracture of her femur. She will probably be there a few more weeks. My uncle has been staying with her pretty much all day, every day (he's retired), as her helper and cheerleader for PT.
I've learned that when faced with a big problem, I should focus on the parts I can do something about - in this case: my uncle doesn't know how to cook, and is having trouble feeding himself properly.
I decided to make a bunch of easy-to-reheat meals to put in his fridge so he will have one less thing to worry about.
So far I've made:
I don't want to keep making the same things, so I'm asking for ideas and recipes.
Money's a little tight, so chicken or pork (beef is real expensive around here) are preferred. Vegetarian can also work. The main thing is it has to be something that can be cooked, frozen, and reheated without losing too much of its appeal. Anything along the lines of traditional German comfort food would be especially appreciated.
Thank you all in advance.

So far I've made:
- Lemon chicken with rice and peas
- BBQ (dry rub) chicken with baked potato and broccoli
- Teriaki stir fry chicken with rice and sweet peppers
- Chicken with spinach and cheese ravioli and broccoli Alfredo
