culinary ideas wanted
I'm in a bit of a rut, so I turn to you, oh LiveJournal readers, in hopes that you won't be shy. :-)
My congregation maintains a freezer of ready-to-reheat food to send to homes where people are sick, someone has just died, etc -- families in the congregation that, at the moment, have more important things to worry about, and the least we can do is bring them dinner. Since, at the time of cooking, we don't know where it's going, I try to cook for a family that might or might not have kids, people with food allergies, diabetics, etc. (It should go without saying that everything gets a complete ingredient list.) Naturally, it should be kosher. (Not everyone keeps a kosher kitchen, but I do and label my contributions to so indicate.)
My standard contributions are: roasted chicken; baked chicken with some sauce (usually barbecue); chili (mild); cheesy noodle casserole; quiches. Occasionally I bake. You'll notice that this is pretty light on vegetables; aside from soup, what are good veggie options that freeze well?
What else would you cook if you were doing this?

Since the whole casserole is really about getting the biscuits to done (the rest is cooked by that time), I wonder if this would work sending it assembled but pre-baked.
