Just don't add as much salt to the meatballs-with the fish sauce, you actually need little to no additional salt.

Mains
-roasted salmon
-lemon thyme chicken (NYT recipe)
-chicken shawarma (yes NYT recipe but I use breasts not thighs)
-shakshuka
-veggie omelette scramble
-chickpeas + avocado
-grilled scallops
-occasionally penne with vodka sauce or penne with pesto

I think that about sums it up. I generally like healthy fairly low effort high reward meals.


What else do you put with the chickpeas and avocado? That sounds yummy!

My top 10 that I would consider for weeknight dinners:

- Chicken fajitas
- chicken drumsticks + potatoes + broccoli
- Pasta and meat sauce and garlic bread (make 2x sauce for easy freezing)
- Breakfast for dinner in all its glorious forms
- Stuffed peppers (gr beef, cauliflower rice, sweet potato, diced tomatoes)
- Asian-theme salad with chicken
- fish tacos
- "egg roll in a bowl" (https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/egg-roll-in-a-bowl-8351080)
- BLTs (ok, maybe that's stretching the definition of home made)
- Chicken noodle soup
