| We almost never repeat meals monthly. Our chef plans a menus 7-14 days out and emails them to me every Monday for review before he picks up the food. He plans the meals based on the seasonality of fruits/veg/herbs and even meats. Everything is sourced from farms in MD/VA and WVA. It's wonderful. |

LOL to the PP.
There are a million egg roll in a bowl recipes out there but I always do this one because I have it memorized. I like it best with ground chicken or pork, but turkey or even beef will work: https://www.recipe-diaries.com/weight-watchers-egg-roll-in-a-bowl/ I usually have it over cauliflower rice and kids regular rice. Use coconut aminos if whole30. |

| OP, I have two college students who are not picky eaters, and they would love if I made your 4 items every week! (I do often make a couple of them!) |

Sunday: Steak, baked potatoes, asparagus, roasted cauliflower
Monday: Grilled salmon, roasted broccoli, rice Tuesday: Beef tacos or burgers Wednesday: Shrimp scampi over pasta or spaghetti with meatballs Thursday: Chicken fajitas or Greek Chicken with tzatziki and grilled veggies Once I started rotating through this, it cut down on the "what's for dinner" and the kids liked the routine, though it does seem a little boring. I also only grocery shop on Sunday and it was easier to plan the week out with a schedule. |

same. and if you were going to repeat 4 meals weekly, which would you choose? |
Where’s the protein?? |
Lol. STFU. 😑 |
I use tofu or seitan in the japchae Broccoli stew uses soy milk Other two have protein from coconut milk or beans. I usually balance it out by making something at lunch with tofu, seitan, or tempeh |
