I'm sooo burned out, does anyone have a few good meal plans that are just regular everyday foods? Every week I sit down to make my menu and my brain starts fizzing. I have cooked a thousand things over the years for my family but I can't come up with 7 of them most of the time when I try to remember. Any help??

Try meals.com it has been a real time saver - my family loves variety and when i just run out of clever ideas I click interesting recipes then ask for a shopping list - print and I have a menu and shopping list for the whole week. i may not stick to it exactly (like serving Monday's meal on Wednesday and so on) but having specific ingredients for specific meals makes the week a lots less stressful. Good Luck!

Allrecipes.com is my go-to site when I need ideas. Also, try FoodNetwork.com.
We eat chicken 3-4 times a week, fish (freshly caught by my husband) once or twice & meat once or twice. I am the marinade queen when it comes to chicken (usually boneless, skinless-I make the marinade & get the breasts ready the night before & pour the marinade over the meat before I leave for work. One of my kids turns it over when they get home from school. When I get home, I start a side dish, fire up the grill or broiler, make a veggie & dinner is on the table in 30 minutes or less). My new favorite marinade is 6 tbs cider or red wine vinegar, 3 tbs vegetable oil, 2 tbs ketchup, 1 tbs dry parsley flakes, 1 to 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt, 1 tsp dry oregano (crushed), 1 bay leaf, 1-2 tsp worcestershire & 10 or more drops of tabasco. I am going to try this on a piece of london broil tomorrow.
*Stir frys (chicken, pork, beef) w/ assorted veggies & sauces
*Meat loaf
*Panninis/sandwiches w/ soup or salad
*Pork tenderloin (can sub turkey tenderloins)
*Roast a turkey, freeze the leftovers & make soup from the carcas.
*Home made pizza (my supermarket carries dough but you have to ask for it)
*Pasta
*Get out your crockpot & make chili or stew
Everyone gets in a rut so don't worry about it. Surf the 'net & have fun finding new ideas.
Also, keep menu cards (index cards with a main dish, side & veggie ideas) & go thru them 1 by 1-just move the most current one to the back.

We are having swedish meatloaf tonight with baked/mashed brussel sprouts.
First I prepare the lean burger with the seasoning from a Swedish Meatball pouch, ours is McCormick brand. Instead of making meatballs, I just make meatloaf. We never use the sauce mix. If we have really worked hard that day and are really hungry I will put noodles and alfredo sauce with it.
For the brussel sprouts:
Boil and mash the sprouts. Add about 2tsp. of light butter or margerine along with fresh minced garlic to tast ( or dried minced garlic rehydrated in the microwave in a cup of water) and about 1/4 of a cup of grated parmesean - give or take. Spread it in a casserole dish and top with a little italian bread crumbs and another sprinkle of parm.cheese. This feeds 6-7 people. My kids love it and I don't have to argue to get them to eat their brussel sprouts!! You can adjust it to make it healthier.

Paleo diet its a diet based around eating real food unprocessed and organic. Learn here https://tr.im/JIYfb
Whether you have or not, what you probably don't realize is that it’s the fastest growing “diet” in the world right now. From celebrities, chefs, elite athletes. Even fitness experts is eager to try it or adopt it.
And for good reason, because no other diet or eating plan provides so many benefits so fast.

Why don't you decide as the week goes on? Whatever you and your family are in the mood for that day. Just have lots of stuff available and ready to go!

I have an excellent meal plan for you!!! Try doing a chicken and vegetable chow mein. You could try surfing the web to find one or I can give you my recipe if you email me at derekanium@yahoo.co.uk.
