Hopefully this month-in-advance menu idea will serve us well. My husband seems to be excited about the idea of knowing what we need and planning ahead.

Use your freezer. Next time you make a batch of soup, freeze the leftovers. Making beans from scratch? Cook a double batch and freeze the other portion. If you're making refried beans or soup, you won't notice the slight change in texture after they defrost.
We also keep bags of frozen stir-fry mix and other assorted veggies on hand for when I don't feel like cooking something elaborate. It's always easy to cook rice and vegetables.
And yes, you should absolutely give yourself a bit of slack when ill--I hope it was a good pizza!
