So I am still having a problem with planning...anything but specifically our menu. I decided to make each day a theme and then I could mix and match according to what we feel like eating. So here is what I have come up with.
Saturday: Pork or Chicken
Sunday: Beef
Monday: Soup/Sandwich/leftovers
Tuesday: Temple night (we are not home)
Wednesday: Fish
Thursday: Eggs
Friday: Toss up -- general two of these a month will be eating out days
Then I started listing favorite meals that are relatively easy.
Pork or Chicken:
fajitas
enchiladas
pork chops
pulled pork
ham
baked chicken
chicken, sausage and potatoes
chicken pot pie
fried chicken
chicken stir fry
Beef:

goulash
sloppy joes
beef chunks and gravy
steak
meatloaf
enchiladas/fajitas

tacos/taco salad

Eggs:

Spinach salad with eggs and bacon
Breakfast tacos
Breakfast for dinner in all it's varieties
Fish:
Baked fish (cod, salmon, roughy)
Tuna noodle casserole
Linguini with clam sauce
Shrimp scampi
Fish cakes (all varieties)
Soup/sandwich:
Hamburger soup
Beef bulgar soup

Toss up:

I need some more ideas for Fish, Pork and Chicken. My guys won't want soup for after say April so we will move on to something more seasonal.
Good Idea- for years we have had the same thing for breakfast and lunch. It simplifies the home school day. My kids could probably recite: Monday- oatmeal and pb&j's, Tuesday- toast and tuna, Wednesday- waffles and soup and on and on. It seems like it has always been so. I like the idea of a resource list for dinners- thanks.
