Food Friday: The Rut

Help!  My menu plan looks much too much like it did in New York.  You know, when I had a full time job and we ate the same 12 meals over and over again?  Here it is:  burgers, chicken stir fry, eggs, pizza, pasta and tacos in various orders with the occasional fish or roast dinner thrown in there. 

Plus, I want to drum up some comments on the blog. 

So, I'm making an appeal for your favorite dinner.  Please leave a comment below indicating a meal we should try.

  1. I've been cooking two big things a week and using leftover for future dinners and lunches. Here are two hits from recent weeks. I look forward to seeing what others offer up.

  2. I wish I could help, but you just ran through my entire menu too - and I'm not proud of it. I actually came from Facebook hoping I could take inspiration from your ideas which HAD to better than what I've done. ;^)

    And crepes with different fillings . . .

  4. Chicken pot pie, and use a piece of dough to make an "M" (and maybe even a "K" and a P") to decorate the top.

  5. @ Merilee: thank you for reintroducing me to old pal tuna.
    @Cheryl: my post Thanksiving soup was a hit, even with the kid, so I think I will try more. Do you have any good recipes?
    @Amelia: I saved turkey just for a pie, but I'm intimidated by the crust. What do you use for the crust?

  6. 1 C flour
    1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    3 tablespoon margarine or butter

    (or, on a lazy day, refrigerated pastry dough)
