29. It really depends for me.

I can make pizzas and leave them in the fridge to grab and reheat-then-eat for days. Yum. Also, things like salsa and oven roasted cherry tomatos, but a dish? You are quite right--it is boring. When I make a lasagna or some other dish that will certainly be too much to eat, I freeze it in individual portions.
When the day has been busy and there is little time or energy left to prep a meal I can reach in the large freezer and grab from a variety of choices.
Perhaps your wife doesn't mind repetition?
