My director asked me to bring a new recipe from our new $1 cook book or new theme show recipe. Can anyone recommend an easy one that I can make the night before that will still be good the next night? I have a young child at home and it's hard to do much cooking during the day, so the easiest way for me to do it would be the night before.

Many thanks in advance!
Amanda
 
I think the Creamy One-Pot Pasta is good reheated, but you'll need to make it a little "wet" because the noodles absorb some of the sauce when it sits.
 
The Strawberry Cream Trifle is good - it's simple to assemble, and Trifles are always better the next day!
 
The Greek Cheese Torta is awesome and could be made ahead. Also the Pina Colada Upside down Cake was very good and stood up good to being made ahead.
 
Truffle Brownie Cups! They are AWESOME when made with dark chocolate chips. YUM!
 
I made the three citrus mojito drink. I left out the alcohol.

It is good the next day. The mint flavor becomes stronger the longer it sits.

(Double the recipe and use the larger quickstir pitcher for the meeting.)

Very Easy -- very quick -- no trouble to prepare.

Consider cups and ice, if they are not usually available at your meeting.

I agree! It tastes even better after sitting!
I made mine with roasted red peppers instead of the sun dried tomatoes (I like tomatoes, but not the dried ones...)
You can serve it with Triscuits or Wheat Thins if you don't have time to make the toasted bread. (Plus, you can do the bread up a day ahead and keep it in a ziploc bag...)
 
what Kelly said - the torta is wonderful & no re-heating!
 
Cast my vote for the torta as well. I made this for the teacher's lounge last week and everyone RAVED about it. The hardest part was lining the batter bowl with plastic wrap. (I guess I need some that's less sticky!) Served it with the olive oil and rosemary triscuits as well as the bread. MMMMMMMM
 
I think that if you spritz the bb with some oil, the plastic wrap would "stick" better to the bowl! I had that problem too!
 
That's an idea. I just kept thinking as I was wrestling with the stuff that it would be so embarrassing during a show! (I would ask a helper to do that part! LOL!)
 
I have three young kids at home (under 5) and I made the chicken tortilla casserole for our meeting. It was so quick and easy, I was able to throw it together in about 15 minutes. You could cut up the pepper and onions the night before and then all you have to do is assemble it.
 
My vote is for the chicken tortilla thing too ... just cut up the peppers and onions in advance, cut the chicken in advance and assemble at the meeting if you can get to a microwave.

Also, have you tried any of the Power Cooking recipes? One of them might work ...
