Going to visit a friend who just had a baby and is vegetarian. What frozen meal should I bring?
I cook vegetarian a lot of the time, but am suddenly drawing a blank on what I can make that is seasonally appropriate that would be good to freeze.

I've been cooking a lot of vegetable pancakes/fritters recently, and they freeze beautifully. You can prepare as many as you want by a quick defrost followed by toasting (if they're thin and not too dense they can go straight in the toaster).
In general, they are filling but not heavy, which sounds like what the situation calls for. Here a links to a few favorites:
