[quote=Anonymous]I'm assuming that you're looking for categories of meals that can lead to a variety of different meals?  So something like pasta Monday, where you serve varying pastas, or taco Tuesday.

Here are some ideas that have worked for my family.

Pasta day -- Either store bought or homemade sauce (I have a few different types in my freezer at any given point).

Breakfast for dinner day -- Smoothies (On the weekend, I take a freezer bag and fill it with frozen fruit and baby spinach in the proportions I want, and then dump it in the blender with vanilla greek yogurt), scrambled eggs (my kids like salsa in their eggs), and something like toast or waffles or something I made on the weekend, maybe sausage or bacon or beans on toast if I have time.

Tacos day -- frozen breaded fish filet, or ground beef, or grilled chicken

Finger food day -- I make Chick Fil A dupe nuggets, broccoli cheese nuggets, (you can also buy each of these) and sweet potato fries

Pizza -- whole wheat naan, pizza sauce, cheese, whatever toppings they like

Soup and sandwiches -- Chicken noodle soup or hamburger soup with grilled cheese, taco soup with cheese quesadilla, minestrone with cheese and crackers etc . . . You can make soup or buy a healthier brand, or mix it up.

Add a vegetable and a fruit to each meal.

I love to cook, just not on rushed weeknights, and all of these can be made fancy.  So, we can make lasagna if swim lessons are cancelled, or birria tacos if it's a snow day, or fancy pancakes for breakfast for dinner.  [/quote]
