I recently compiled this list of meals that our family tends to rotate through. This list compliments my
Meal Planning post from a while back...
There are 56 ideas for main dishes here, which would be 8 weeks if you used one a night. But for good measure, you've got to throw in a few leftovers nights or out-to-eat nights -- so realistically, this list of 56 meal ideas COULD stretch to 9 or 10 weeks without a single repeat! I try to plan at least 2 things each week that are "favorites" with my pickiest eater. I also try to get a variety of red meat/white meat/vegetarian dishes too. And we have a breakfast-for-dinner night every other week (just because it's so stinkin' easy).
Here's the list:1. turkey roast
2. BBQ chicken or BBQ chicken sandwiches
3. steak
4. potato soup
5. Italian marinated chicken
6. chicken enchiladas
7. fettuccine alfredo
8. spaghetti & meatballs
9. parmesan chicken cacciatorre
10. meatloaf
11. scalloped chicken
12. chimichangas
13. pizza pockets
14. baked ham with pineapple
15. turkey pot pie
16. hamburgers
17. chicken burgers
18. chili
19. hawaiian chicken

Is there anything you'd like me to post my recipe for? You can always find recipes on AllRecipes, of course, but I'd be happy to share a personal recipe if you'd like it. And on a side note, any recipe with more than 6-8 ingredients is intimidating to me, so my recipes are usually super simple and easy. :)
