We eat so much chicken

And I'm getting sick of it! It's easy to cook, quick, and inexpensive (ie organic chicken legs are less than $4 usually).
How do I get out of this chicken rut? |

Feel the same way about salmon!
Shrimp stir fry MYO baked potatoes (let everyone do their own toppings: chili, sour cream, onions, cheese) Paninis for dinner Spaghetti carbonara I get the frozen fish from Trader Joe's: cheap. I just throw in the fridge to defrost during the day, and bake in the toaster oven. That's a frequent protein, but I can mix it up (salmon, cod, turbot). |

| pork.. the other white meat. Thin slice pork with panko crumbs. Pretty good. |

Great ideas. Thanks! Re: the frozen fish--do you ever feel it is soggy after defrosting? I have that problem half the time. |

I eat too much beef. And cheese. |

| We do Meatless Mondays and Fish on Fridays so that we're not eating chicken all the time. Beans (especially dried beans) are even cheaper than chicken. |

What we are trying to do is reduce the *amount* of chicken, replacing it with more veggies or beans. I guess the hope is to eventually have a very small amount of meat with a large amount of veggies.
Re the fish, we buy the frozen filets at Whole Foods, which are pretty cheap too, if I remember correctly. I don't find it soggy, but we usually bread it lightly with whole wheat or almond flour and fry in olive oil and butter mixture, so maybe the breading absorbs the sogginess! |

| Ground turkey or beef are inexpensive, and quick-cooking meats. You can do meat sauces, sloppy Joe's, shepherd's pie, meatloaf, meatballs... |
