freezer meals

My elderly mother-in-law (80) is going into hospital for hip replacement surgery in a fortnight. My father-in-law is pretty useless in the kitchen so I thought I'd make a stock of freezer meals for them to eat when she gets out of hospital. I live a long way from them so this will be a one-off effort. My husband is going up there and will take the meals I prepare and freeze and put them in their freezer.

I could do with ideas (fairly plain cooking for them). So far I have made:

* 3 meals of lamb roasts (TV dinner style) with mashed potatoes as commercial TV dinners don't seem to use roast potatoes so I buttume they don't freeze and reheat well. * 3 containers of vege soup. * 1 chicken and mushroom pie. * 1 chicken curry and rice (F-in-L) and curry and veges (MIL)

Any other ideas? My mother in law doesn't like spicy food. Also, apart from using cornstarch instead of flour for thickening, are there any other hints for successful freezer meals? So far I have tried to make the entire "meat and vege" meal. But I am open to ideas on just preparing the meat part of the meal.
