-Mom handled weekdays and was a reluctant cook who to this day isn’t that interested in food, but she still fed us pretty well. The majority of what we ate was Southern-inflected, fairly classic American home cooking (sometimes lightened up a bit). Semi-homemade stuff like shake and bake or sloppy joes once or twice a week. Americanized ethnic food (taco kit, enchiladas with jarred sauce, pizza with crust from a mix) once a week. 
-Dad took over on the weekends. Think roasts with homemade sides in winter, grilled chicken/steak/pork chops/fish/veggies in summer. He has always been an excellent home cook. He would try out new recipes from the likes of Bon Appetit often. 
-School lunch was always packed: sandwich, apple or grapes, chips, packaged cookies like Milano or Oreos
-Backyard garden meant great summer produce, we would also get and cook fresh seafood pretty regularly
-We ate out about once a week: neighborhood seafood spots, Mexican (but only when dad had somewhere else to be), Italian/Mediterranean
