DH calls is all 'leftovers'....

I have wanted to do this in the past, and I have "double batched" things like chili, soup, lasagne, etc.

My problem is, if I cook for a whole week and freeze all or part of it, DH calls it "leftovers" and does not want it. He won't even eat the chili if he knows it was defrosted, although I have tricked him, and he said it was the best chili I ever made.

So, how do you get over the feeling that everything you eat is "reheated" rather than cooked fresh? DH will cook (at least start dinner), but I can't be happy eating a plain skinless boneless chicken breast (untrimmed - ick) and rice a roni! LOL Don't get me wrong, I am not ungrateful. It was great having dinner on the table when I came home, but my skin was turning yellow from all the yellow dye number 5 (joking).

I would love to be able to cook up a storm on saturday and sunday, then have meals to heat during the week that taste like they simmered for a while.

Any suggestions?
