Baked Mac and Cheese is suppose to be easy like this. Anything with meat though is hard to warm/thaw.
Any suggestions on healthy easy, pre made stuff?

Things with noodles re-heat really well.
One thing I really like to make (but haven't in a long time,) is what my family calls "poor man's lasagna." So, basically it's elbow noodles cooked, sauce, and shredded cheese. Put into a baking dish and heat to melt the cheese. You can make a big pot of noodles at the beginning of the week, then when hungry, put them into a baking dish with sauce and cheese, and bake. You can pick whole wheat noodles to make it healthier, or other shapes if you prefer.
One of my educators does the same thing with rice. She makes a big thing of rice at the start of the week, then can heat it up and add it to whatever.
It's hard to find ready to eat meals that are pre-made that are actually healthy.
