Do you have some ideas to spice up my boring, everyday meals?

Question

other than dining out in a fast food restaurant

Answer 1

Try cooking new recipes. Check out
Betty Crocker.com
Campbells.com
Allrecipe.com
for starters. These have changed my boring meals into something to look forward to.

Answer 2

Look for small family owned restaurants. Prices are usually cheaper than chain restaurants and the food is better. If you get to know the owners of these type places you can usually get discounts or other little perks. In the arena of cooking, go to the grocery store and pick out something you've never tried before, if you pick out one new or different thing everytime you're there you'll have a huge repetoire to not be bored with.

Answer 3

Curry is the spice of wonder. It goes great with broccoli and chicekn, rice, eggs, etc. Or, you can get some nice cook books. I personally love to cook Indian, Irish, and Korean food for myself. The meals take a little longer to prepare, but usually are more healthy than my usual, off the top of my head meals. The recipies also get me eating a lot more of a variety of veggies than I normally would.

3 cups fresh vegetables or 1 large bag frozen
1 can broth (chicken or beef-shrimp uses chicken)

in the same pan add veggies and broth
cover and simmer until veggies are cooked
stir cornstarch into cold water and slowly add to pan
