I found these two, but really, just about ANY casserole can be made the day before, refrigerated and baked the next morning. You may need to bake it a bit longer than usual due to it being cold, though.
You might also consider something in the crock pot.

Thanks! Those look yummy! That was what I needed to know-- If I could make them ahead of time.
We might as well just go home today. Two guys had asked for the day off. Two more called in sick. And just now the one lead guy who fell and hurt his back at home a few weeks ago just came in to say he's headed to the chiropractor as he's in so much pain he can't work. That leaves us with just three guys. Can't get a lot done with just three.

Yeah,mid be calling it a day if there was nothing to keep everyone occupied with so few on hand.
I'd like to go home myself. Suddenly feeling light headed and kind of dizzy. And that is making my stomach feel woozy. I hope I'm not coming down with something since the kids are coming home this weekend AND my future son-in-law's father is coming for dinner tomorrow.

I recently learned a new word for "my future son-in-law's father": mechuttan.
In Yiddish and Hebrew, the word "Mechuttanim" serves the purpose for referring to one's child's in-laws. The word best translates in English as "the married-into" or the "relatives by marriage". A father would call his son's father-in-law his "mechuttan". The word "choten", from the same root, is used toward the beginning of the book of Exodus, referring to Yitro (Jethro) as the father-in-law of Moses. In Modern Hebrew, a person would refer to his father in law as "chami", and to his mother-in-law as "chamoti".
Thanks Bill! There's only one word, I'm thinking Yiddish, that I remember my Dad saying a lot. Machugana. It describes to a tee the kind of people he'd have to deal with on a full moon. I remember one year when I was in high school or college that I found a company selling packages of Machuganuts. I bought some for my Dad. He had quite a laugh.
I did end up going home yesterday. Spent three hours in bed. Not quite sleeping but keeping the dizziness at bay. I got up and started in on my normal late afternoon chores and the dizziness slowly went away and by bed time I felt back to normal. Very strange. Sad, though, as I missed my weekly lunch out with DH.
Desserts:
Homemade chocolate/coconut/peanut butter cups, low carb
Other homemade desserts
Chocoperfection bar
Sugar-free jell-o
Snacks:
Nuts in-the-shell (the shells slow me down & force me to eat less)
Celery with organic peanut butter
GG's crispbread with Laughing Cow cheese wedge
1/2 cup of low carb granola with 1/2 cup almond milk
1 oz organic, free range cheese
Pat of Kerrygold butter (Yes, I eat this as a snack!)
I snack quite a lot but I always choose items from my healthy snack list and I try to go for the low cal ones since I am still trying to lose a few more pounds.
When I am in in actual maintenance, the changes will look like this:
More One Minute Muffins
More low-carb breakfast cereals
More Greek yogurt with fresh fruit
More legumes
More tofu dishes
More vegetarian hamburgers (on low-carb buns, of course)
Greater variety of vegetables
Occasional fruit
Also I will be preparing more low-carb family recipes:
Scalloped chayote squash
Spicy Indian cabbage
(Vegetarian) sausage stuffed eggplant
Creamed brussels sprouts
Amish turnip bake
Mashed cauliflower
Low-carb pizza (homemade,vegetarian, gluten-free)
Curried cauliflower patties
Etc.
I have a million recipes, I just have to cook them! ...And the family needs to get on board with helping me eat them or I'll eat it all myself.
Shrinkingme, What on earth goes into "low carb granola"? For that matter, "low carb breakfast cereal"?
My favorite is Sensato Nut & Flax granola. But there are many different low-carb cereals (all are a combination of vegetable fiber, grain bran, plant or whey protein, seeds, and nuts.) I shop for them online at Netrition.
The ingredients for Sensato Nut & Flax granola include:
Pecans
Vegetable fiber
Flax seed meal
Wheat bran
Soy protein isolate
Almonds
Oats
Sea Salt
Canola Oil
Baking soda
Low glycemic monosaccharides
Splenda

I remember that word! We were not Jewish but I grew up in upstate New York where there is a large Jewish population. Many of my friends were Jewish and their moms would use that word, and our families all picked it up and started using it as well. My mom used to say it. lol I had forgotten it, it has been so many years. I love that there is a company making "Machuganuts". Hahaha
Alas, neither. I worked for years with a guy who'd drop a Yiddish word into a conversation then explain it to us. He taught me shlemiel and shlimazel to my great joy.
