Family with a couple kids and having guests as well…

Cooking in advance for several weeks.
Challas I bake double recipe. Freeze. Warm it on 350° for 10-15 minutes. Itll be crispy outside and soft inside.
I cook big pots of soup and seperate it into medium size pans, according to family needs. Could be deep oblong challah pans or wider, (preferebly with a cover, or cover with foil).
Stock it in freezer one on top of the other, erev shabbos, just place into stove and rewarm, or just place it in the morning on the blech. By shabbos it'll be delicious hot n tasty.
Cook noodles in advance, place in containers or pans. Rewarm by adding water and microwave 2 minutes, or place it into the soup pan to rewarm.
Compote can be cooked and frozen in advance.
I sometimes cook fish and chulent for 2 weeks. Just freeze it, (fish: just add water, cook it up 10 minutes, chulent, add spices and place onto crock pot.)
Potatoe kugel can be baked in advance for several weeks. Either bake halfways and finish baking it erev shabbos, or rewarm it by adding some water to the pan.
As long as you dont tell "them" that it aint done fresh, they wont see or realize the difference. If you warm it the right way, It tastes like fresh!

I start coiking early. (It will be just as good and tasty even when its cooked/baked on Wednesday!
On shabbos, prepare the food for the meal in advance (besides for hot food), buffet style, in big container/plate/bowl, in the center of the table so that everyone serves themselves, just hand out plates or pass it around.
