We do lots of meals with a starch, vegetable, and protein cooked separately. So meatloaf with glazed carrots and mashed potatoes. Mix and match rice, bread, roasted potatoes for starches; roasted cauliflower, steamed broccoli, sautied green beans for veg; pan fried chicken breasts, pot roast, etc for protein.. [/quote]

OP here - this is what we do, except nobody including the teens really likes roasted potatoes (one of the reasons Hello Fresh was kind of a bust, lots of means that rely on roasted potatoes), it’s just that I’m SO FREAKING TIRED of it. I’ve been looking for new marinades lately but even those all seem the same.

I'm one of the OPs.  So, don't do potatoes.  We rarely do potatoes or rice.  I do proteins various ways, sometimes roasted, sometimes asian-inspired or marinade and steam a veggie in the microwave.  For ex, this week we had keilbasa, ground turkey shepherds pie, chicken marinated in balsamic dressing and rice, and ground beef tacos, always with a microwave steamed vegetable.  Sometimes, I do fish or shrimp.  I might do chicken teriyaki, homemade chicken nuggets, pesto chicken for the chicken. I might roast or air fry the veggies rather than microwave steam them. My goal is to be the 30-minute gourmet.  [/quote]
