If you like goat cheese, this is to die for:
http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/05/asparagus-goat-cheese-and-lemon-pasta/
I made Cincinnati Chili. I did it in the slow cooker, but you could just do it on the stove, or make it for tomorrow!
Also, I found that roasting shrimp in the oven (toss with olive oil and salt and pepper) at 400* for a few minutes is really tasty. You can put it into pasta with pesto sauce for a really easy meal. Do you only eat red meat?
@Little---Ohhh Chili! I was thinking of chili for tomorrow. We eat everything...BUT shell fish! Super allergic. Hives, throat closing, the whole nine!
sometimes when I get bored of chicken I switch to make something vegetarian...it adds some variety!
the mister and I really liked these bean burritos, but I ended up making them in a bowl more or less. I'm terrible at getting wraps to stay put properly.

We also just ate this three bean chili and it was SO GOOD. I added some rice, but it was awesome without.

Both of these are easy and yummy:

The site myrecipes.com has lots of really delicious and easy dinners. I hate cooking, but lately I've been getting Cooking Light magazine & going to MyRecipes and have made dinner 5 times this week!
Salmon okay?
Marinate salmon, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup olive oil, 3 dashes Tabasco, 1 teaspoon dill in the fridge for 2 hours, flipping halfway through,remove most of the liquid. Bake for 5 minutes on each side at 350 or until flakey... its absolutely amazingly simple and SO good.
Have you checked out recipezaar? It has hundreds of thousands of recipes and you can sort so many different ways. i like using the recipe sifter to enter a few random ingredients that I need to use and see what comes up... To add variety to your meals, you could try menu planning. Or have themed weeks... mexican week, indian week etc. That way some things you need for some recipes but are too much for one meal, can be used in another similar themed meal. No waste and yummy dinners!
maybe try out different ways of cooking your chicken or fish? We're having seared ahi tuna tonight on salad. I'm also a big slow cooker fan for future meals...
http://www.channel4.com/food/recipes/healthy/cook-yourself-thin/risotto-with-prawn-lemon-and-basil-recipe_p_1.html This is BEAUTIFUL, highly recommend it, it uses creme fraiche instead of cream so not as fattening, but it gets really creamy!!
And because it's all in metric, I found this to help you should you decide to make it http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/cooking-conversions/gram-conversions.aspx
P.S I know it's rice and fishy stuff, but honestly, it's a lovely dish!
i made pasta carbonara for my grandparents and us last night and it was a huge hit! Just make a basic salad and maybe some bread?
(and I used bowtie noodles, but you can basic use anything you want!)
How about pork?
http://kissmygritz.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/herb-and-parmesan-crusted-pork/
If you want something easy, I made a great pulled pork sweet BBQ sandwich last week. Just grab a pound or two of pork shoulder (or whatever cut you prefer), some A&W root beer, and a bottle of your fav bbq sauce - I use sweet baby rays. Mix two cups of A&W and two cups of bbq sauce. Pour over pork. You can let it set overnight if you want, or whip it together first thing in the morning.
Put it in a slow cooker for 7 hours or so on low - I turned it over once just to get some good stuff in there. Serve with buns.
I meal plan every week. This helped me get out of the rut of making the same thing over and over again. It's nice when you come home and don't have to worry about what to make. It also saves money! I take about 20 mins before I leave for the groccery store and google different recipes or look through some of my cook books.
I sign up for weekly newsletters through Kraft.com, Bettycrocker.com, RachelRay.com and so forth. They send weekly recipe ideas which I usually deviate a little from. I also email recipes to myself so i can bring up the recipes on my iPhone while shopping so i know what I need!
How about scallops? Having never tried cooking scallops a shot, I decided to try this recipe...

It was SUPER fast and DELICIOUS! I served it over fresh linguine.
That goat cheese pasta sounds amazing. I LOVE goat cheese.
For something 'new', what about crusted chicken?
It's so easy--panko crumbs, oregano/whatever italian seasonings you have in the cupboard, and shredded parmesian. Dredge some chicken breasts in it, throw it in the oven for 40 minutes, and pull it out. It's really tasty. I like fresh parsley on top.
We use our crockpot a lot. Throw a loaf of pork or beef tenderloin in, some sauce or red wine and beef broth, and some veggies on the side. Or a spinach salad (which we have often).
Casseroles are good too (tho not very diet friendly). One of my favorite is simply rice, chicken, broccoli, velveeta, and milk. I ike to add diced tomatos and corn. DH thinks it's weird food though. It's just so darn easy.

Seems like all we eat lately is chicken or fish, with rice and veggies. So tired of same old, same old. Made anything new lately that's worth a try?!
