It depends. This time of year, hubby grills and I take care of the sides (a little later all from the garden) In the winter, I'm usually the main chef and do a lot of casserole and soup type dishes to eat and also freeze for future no-cook meals!

A variety of soups, most often in winter (eg, a mix of whatever vegetables and seasonings strike my fancy, cooked in stock, often pureed); also pumpkin chili

Stir fry, with fish (cod or salmon mostly) with various seasonings

Semi-homemade pizza with pesto, feta, arugula (typically on a store-bought cauliflower crust

Stoofvlees is in the winter rotation but it's more like monthly.

Chicken Korma

Refried bean tacos with cilantro, cheese, salsa, & a dab of sour cream (or yogurt if that's all I have)

I also like chicken, beef, pork loin with just salt & pepper so that is frequently all I do.

Always with vegetables, more than one generally.

Apple pie!

When he moved his office home 5 or 6 years ago, DH decided he wanted to make dinner. He needed that to define the end of his day and as his creative outlet. And, since he cooks, I finally suggested he do the shopping. So, when I cook now it’s because at 5:05 he tells or texts me that he can’t, would I please handle dinner.

My go-to then is shrimp stir-fry. He rarely cooks shrimp, so I just make sure there is some in the freezer. Then I add whatever is in the crisper or leftovers, and rice or capellini (he tends not to buy Asian noodles).

Lately, a lot of yakisoba. I also seem to like tacos, both chicken soft and hard shell beef. In the summer I eat a lot of grilled veggies from the garden. I like beef & pork steaks, and chicken thighs with just some Whisky Burger seasoning.

The meals I make the most is spaghetti with meatballs, tacos or chicken. We have 2 of our grands every weekend and that is their favorite foods.

Egg roll in a bowl

My version of Hamburger helper using a box of kraft dinner and jar pasta sauce

Lemon garlic shrimp with linguine

I needed easy today and went with mild Italian sausages in baguette, with a tomato basil salad and marinated artichocke hearts and olives on the side.

The easiest is Uber Eats.

We did easy today also

We ate out. Friday is going to be easy too. Lol

Ours is chicken schnitzel with fries and finely chopped salad or savoury mince with mash potatoes like AnnT used to make.

I make a lot of meals that involve beans or lentils. If I have cabbage, it would be something like this--shredded cabbage with onion, garlic, matchstick radish, shredded carrot and lime juice, packed in flour tortilla with black beans and a little chorizo. Or a garbanzo based sandwich spread. Or frijoles canarios with sauteed greens in a flour tortilla. Or leftover pork thinly sliced, heated up with some chipotle in a flour tortilla packed with cabbage as above but some mayo/Greek yogurt added to cabbage. Occasionally grilled cheese with home made tomato soup.

We regularly buy a costco rotis chicken which gets cut up into serving pieces and the rest gets made into chicken soup....just made some yesterday. So delish.

Other regulars when I can grill include the costco salmon burgers or pork chops.

Every Friday is homemade pizza night.

FOAS, Yours is my favorite meal, lol.

When we don't have a particular dish in mind, we'll "do something with chicken thighs" or "something with hamburger". Mostly that involves sprinkling the thighs with a little seasoned flour and browning them on the stove top, then having them with pasta, potatoes, or rice. Maybe adding a bit of BBQ sauce, or hoisin, or salsa verde, or sour cream -- whichever way we want to push the flavor. Hamburger we most often brown and add to spaghetti sauce, or use in stuffed peppers, or make into chili.

Ours is chicken schnitzel with fries and finely chopped salad or savoury mince with mash potatoes like AnnT used to make.

Schnitzel is strictly a special occasion food at my house. I am seriously jealous! I make mine with pork or veal. Served with potato salad, boiled potatoes or cucumber salad, red cabbage and plenty of lemon. I may have to start planning that meal soon ... easily one of my favorites.

In the hot summer, taco salad is easy to throw together and is always tasty.

For a fast dinner, or I don't know what to make, as in tonite....Pasta Puttanesca is a favourite.

I love breaded pork chops with mashed potatoes, true comfort food.

I make fries or roasted potatoes in the air-fryer a lot. Toss in a burger or a sausage, or chicken and it's a meal in one appliance.

AmyLou, we often ordered hot hamburger with gravy and fries at a restaurant for lunch. I never think of making it, yet I love it.

We do a lot of grilling year round. Most frequent are probably burgers, tri-tip, ribeyes, lamb, chicken, pork tenderloin or salmon. Tonight‘s dinner is one favorite…Greek-style burgers since I have ground lamb.

I am the soup queen, and Monday is "Soup Night". I make all different kinds of bean soups and put quart containers in the garage freezer so that I have a variety, and I know there's always something for dinner.

• My DH is a family practice doc and he's had us eating a pretty much (but not totally) plant-based diet for several years now. As I love to cook, it took me a while to find delicious and still healthful meals for us, because I absolutely refuse to make or eat anything boring, but good-for-me! For a chicken substitute, I use the Daring brand, For ground beef, I use the Impossible brand. I'm not preaching or recommending, just explaining some of my choices below (LOL)! Oh, and we've lived here in Northern New Mexico for over twenty years now, and I LOVE it's food!

* Green Chile Cheese Burgers using Impossible's burger patties

* Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Green Chile (seasoned with garlic and salt) My comfort food!

* Enchiladas with Red Chile Sauce (Can you tell I love NM food??? )

* Homemade soups (I love soups!)

* Main Dish Salads with lots of veggies, dried fruits, feta, and beans (a good, healthful source of protein)

* Daring Ckn with a side of my Wild Rice Pilaf and a small salad

* TJ's Mushroom Ravioli

Chicken diavola (butterflied chicken with a garlic-chilli-rosemary rub, roasted with chopped tomatoes and white wine) one of my favorites!

Minestrone

Lamb korma

Thai Red curry prawns

Turkey mince stir fry

Caper burgers 

We like a variety of cuisines so I'm alternating between Indian, Thai, various Chinese, Italian, Middle Eastern and of course good old fashioned Aussie grills and salads.

I've been thinking about this. I have many great recipes for awesome stuff that I make over and over again, but I don't do any kind of rotation. The closest would be sometimes I'll make a weekly (awesome) roast chicken and a loaf of bread (not for the same meal). But my schedules have been out of whack since the pandemic, and it got to be a drag, and sometimes I'll buy both the chicken and the bread. For awhile, I was also making regular vegetable egg bakes (custards), but have gotten out of the habit. But these are just things that provide a nice meal and grab and go leftovers, and were never on any kind of schedule. I make all different stuff. I have a low threshold for boredom. :)

I have to say I am sick of all the things I cook on a regular rotation? My family loves them? I am just so tired of them- lol.

Since my husband died 14 months ago, I am not picky about what I eat. I go on binges where I make a batch of taco meat and eat tacos three times a day for two or three days. I also make a favorite soup....sausage, potato and cheese....and I will eat that for a couple of days. Or I will eat steak for a couple of days. Chicken and dumplings is another one I will eat for two days. I also eat fruit salad almost every day. Or I will make pecan pancakes. I am not interested in cooking and I usually eat whatever I have close at hand because I don't feel like cooking, so I fix something I can eat for more than one meal.

In winter I have a rotation of soups and a couple of stews. I’ll occasionally get in the mood for a pot roast and do that in the dutch oven or slow cooker. Chicken Marsala is often on the menu in winter, not so much in summer. Beef stroganoff also.

I make fajitas with fresh veggies and avocados to accompany with a side of cilantro lime rice. Tacos are also a favorite quick meal and we have leftovers with those. We grill a lot and my favorite is chicken skewers on the grill with peppers and onions. I also will grill small pork chops with homemade bbq sauce and have some sort of fresh veggie on the side. Tonight we had fresh corn on the cob. I’ll saute shrimp or scallops for a quick meal and make a salad. If I’m in the mood for pasta, I’ll make a sauce and usually have some in the freezer from the past summer’s tomatoes. Sometimes it’s chicken piccata or chicken parm over fettucine.

Marilyn, I feel like if I did not have anyone else to cook for in addition to myself, I would not want to do it at all. I like cooking and like my own food over someone elses but if it was JUST for me I would not be eager to do it.

I'm like Marilyn. Anything I make, I always make enough for leftovers. I'm not going to cook just 1 chicken breast or 3 drumsticks when it's just as easy to cook more. Plus I don't like making or thinking of something different to make each day.

@laceyvail 6A, WV I really like the sound of your tortillas. You just use fresh shredded cabbage and other vegetables with a bit of meat? It sounds so good, I'm going to try that.

Yes, jasdip, and for the black bean/chorizo style, only fresh lime juice over the cabbage mix. For the leftover pork style with chipotle in adobo, the cabbage mix has a little mayo/greek yogurt. And much more cabbage mix than meat. I generally make the cabbage mix in the morning, and then it all comes together in no time at all.

Thank you!

I wouldn't say there was any sort of regular rotation but there are some meals I make relatively often - meatloaf, chicken and rice, taco salad/burritos, Joe's Special. I am not crazy about my own leftovers but these are meals I will eat until all traces are gone.

Otherwise I pretty much live on breakfasts and sandwiches. Fast, easy and tasty.

I seem to eat a lot of the same thing for a while and then I Tire of it.

Lately I have been eating a lot of GF soft tacos. Typically I top it with salsa lots of veggies and then cheese. Sometimes I add some black beans. Then I pop it in the microwave till the cheese has melted. Most of the time I have one soft taco but sometimes I have one on the top as well.

I try to make enough for lunch the next day and be able to freeze a meal for later! This doesn't work too well while we're grilling in the summer, but in the cooler months I will make casseroles, meatloaf, soups...many soups! And maybe something like porkchops in gravy to freeze for later.

I'm trying to do more cooking for the freezer because I'm really getting tired/bored with cooking these days!

If it were up to me I'd dine out 6 days a week, LOL; but since Spouse enjoys my cooking, my mainstays are dishes we don't eat at restaurants:

Omelettes or scrambled eggs, because I LOATHE crispy brown spots on my eggs.

Custard French toast: challah sliced at least 1-inch thick, soaked for several hours in custard, and sauteed to a light golden brown crust with creamy interior.

Filet Mignon, as we both love beef. He prefers rib-eye but dislikes the fatty parts, meaning there's too much waste IMHO. Filets are easier, plus leftovers make great steak 'n' eggs, or Vietnamese Bun Bo Xao/Beef Rice Noodle Salad (great in hot weather).

Oven-fried chicken cutlets

Roast chicken: I've settled on the Rosie's brand as our preference. And our cat loves the tidbits of chicken breast he gets every time!

Burgers/Meatballs: I use a mix of 50/50 ground bison and 85% fat ground beef. I prefer burgers, he prefers meatballs.

Chile Verde Pork

There are other dishes I make, but those are for occasional/change of pace/didn't get to the grocery store this week ;)
