Soup! Every fall/winter my fiance and I along with her father do Soup Sundays. We make a list of all the soups we want to do that year and then work through the list. Pretty much always make the stock from scratch so soup Sundays is usually me starting to boil down some bones around 10am and then going all day long.
What my husband and I call "Try Hard Lasagna": we make a double batch of Marcella Hazan's bolognese sauce (non-NYT link), fresh egg pasta, and bechamel. Then those all get layered with mozzarella and parmigianino cheeses into the best lasagna I've ever had.
I actually need to do this soon, because I promised a pregnant friend that I'd make her some in disposable loaf pans for easy post-partum meals.
