I have a few ideas, but I am always looking for a few more (keep in mind I am lactose intolerant).
So far on my list...
Thai Peanut Chicken (I really do love that one)
Black beans and rice
Southwest steak soup
Eggplant Parmesan (I use a goats or sheeps milk cheese option)
Lemongrass pork stir fry with noodles
I would really like a variety of tastes and a few more soups... what ideas do you have?

I make wontons and freeze them on a tray. Once frozen, I bag them. Then when I want a serve of wonton soup, I grab some chicken stock, bring it to a boil, throw in about 5 or 6 wontons and whatever vegetables I have on hand, maybe a bit of ginger or garlic, sesame oil, chinese 5 spice... whatever takes my mood, and voila! Super quick and healthy wonton soup.
Sometimes I cheat and use the chicken powder from the asian supermarket if I don't have real stock on hand.

I really like it actually, and it's a lifesaver when you are short on time.
