Amateur chefs, what are you favorite dishes to cook/prepare?

Looking for some fresh ideas.

Some of mine:

Thai green curry with chicken
Mushroom risotto
Spaghetti amatriciana
Rigatoni bolognese
Greek Salad
Italian salad with tuna and white cannellini beans
Meatloaf
Chicken pot pie
Potato and Leek soup
Cauliflower soup

Yum.

Lasagna
Roast chicken with gravy, potatoes
Anything braised

Of course I never have time for those, especially on weeknights, so I ACTUALLY cook things like turkey cutlets or hamburgers with a roasted vegetable.

A nice salad seems to start the meal off right. I like arugula with beets and chevre, or watercress with grapefruit and a honey-vinegar dressing.

I made a really amazing posole the other night. DH claimed that it was like a restaurant. I also made him fish tacos later in the week, using mahi mahi (from Costco freezer section). Made a sauce that was Greek yogurt, hot sauce, lime juice, cumin and some chipotle chili powder and he basically thought it was a gift from god. I didn't eat the tacos but the soup was great.
