I need inspiration. I don’t even think I have ten but these are my go to meals. They generally all include a different mix of roasted vegetables depending on my mood from roasted bell peppers, asparagus, mushrooms, cauliflower, broccolini, sautéed cabbage, onions, sometimes sweet potatoes
Mains -roasted salmon -lemon thyme chicken (NYT recipe) -chicken shawarma (yes NYT recipe but I use breasts not thighs) -shakshuka -veggie omelette scramble -chickpeas + avocado -grilled scallops -occasionally penne with vodka sauce or penne with pesto I think that about sums it up. I generally like healthy fairly low effort high reward meals. |

-Lemongrass pork meatballs with rice noodles and salad (original recipe is for letuce wraps but I just make it as a salad. I often don't make the noodles with it.
-Milk Street's Chickpea/Cilantro Soup with paprika croutons -Tacos made with chicken thighs -Spaghetti with garlic, olive oil and peas -Roasted, stewed eggplant (husband makes this) -Chicken and Broccoli stir fry with rice -Quiche, usually Garlic Broccoli -Brazilian coconut shrimp stew -Salmon, usually in cake form because my kids like it that way -Black Bean Burgers (Sally's Baking Addiction recipe) |

Mine are similar to yours, OP. A couple more ideas:
Chrissy Teigen's tortilla soup Quiche made with puff pastry (mix of veg, often spinach or mushroom) Bean/cheese/avocado burritos Picadillo with rice and avocado salad Avocado toast with fried or poached eggs Bay scallops sauteed with tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice, and parsley |

Roast salmon
Some kind of beef and potatoes Scallops and shrimp Spaghetti bolognese Chicken curry (green, red, penang) White fish prepared some new interesting way Chicken pasta Stir fry -- usually beef I try to make something new/newish every week. DW would be happy if I rotated just beef/potatoes and scallops/shrimp every other day [eyeroll] |

My top 10 that I would consider for weeknight dinners:
- Chicken fajitas - chicken drumsticks + potatoes + broccoli - Pasta and meat sauce and garlic bread (make 2x sauce for easy freezing) - Breakfast for dinner in all its glorious forms - Stuffed peppers (gr beef, cauliflower rice, sweet potato, diced tomatoes) - Asian-theme salad with chicken - fish tacos - "egg roll in a bowl" (https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/egg-roll-in-a-bowl-8351080) - BLTs (ok, maybe that's stretching the definition of home made) - Chicken noodle soup |

Sure: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/vermicelli-noodles-with-lemongrass-pork-meatballs Just don't add as much salt to the meatballs-with the fish sauce, you actually need little to no additional salt. |
