Answer 1

I have found a bunch of really great recipes at bettycrocker.com. If you set up a user name and password you can save them to your recipe box. I especially love the beef and pea pods recipe. I don't actually eat the pea pods but like the flavor that they add to the gravy. I think I may actually try it with carrots instead next time.

Answer 2

You should plan your meals for (most of the week). Think in terms of alternating main courses every day, such as chicken, beef, fish, cheese. Have three or four basic dishes to fall back on with each protein. For beef, that might be meatloaf, hamburgers, steaks, stew, potroast. For chicken that might be tacos, stir-fry, barbecue, oven-baked, etc. Then think of alternating starch recipes, such as parsleyed noodles, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, rice, etc. Then think of alternating greens, some hot like green beans, broccoli, and peas; and some cold like green salads. Make a list and just choose one from column A, one from column B and one from column C.

Answer 3

Do you eat beef?
We have cooked this for years and is one of our stand-by favorites:

Steak San Marco
4-6 servings
1¾ hours 10 min prep
2 lbs chuck steaks, cut into serving pieces.
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 (16 ounce) can peeled tomatoes
1 teaspoon oregano
garlic powder, to taste (or garlic clove, chopped fine)
pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 tablespoons wine vinegar

In a large skillet, arrange meat.
Cover with other ingredients.
Simmer covered 1 and 1/2 hours or until meat is tender.

I have served this with noodles, mashed potatoes or rice. It goes with just about anything.

Answer 4

In my humblle opinion, your best bet is to list down what else you would like besides your everyday special. From here, you can probably google for the recipes or simply buy a recipe book.

HTH.

Answer 5

Your menu sounds like mine..
I sometimes make chicken pot pies, and cottage pies,

do you like curry.. make up some pork or chicken curry,

Sometimes when we eat thesame thing all the time.. we end up just having aloo or choka and roasted eggplant for something different.

hope this helps.
