This is also seasonal for me, but here is a loose idea this time of year:

-Pasta, meat, salad, bread (chicken parm, baked ziti, spaghetti and meatballs, etc)
-Pizza (frozen or ordered in)
-Tacos/quesadillas, beans, avocado (chicken, beef, shrimp, etc all with cheese)
-Braised pork/beef (Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean), steamed rice, bok choy
-Rotisserie chicken or ham, au gratin potatoes, cheesy broccoli, rolls
-Southwest chicken skillet with leftover rotisserie chicken, topped with avocado, cheese, sour cream
-Breakfast for dinner
-DH’s home smoked pork or brisket sandwiches, corn pudding, Cole slaw
-Seared fish(fish sticks for kids), some kind of rice, green vegetable
-Slow roasted garlic pork shoulder, steamed rice, sautéed cabbage

There are many other one-off meals as well. I love making new things!

For me it depends on the season because I shop at farmers markets 6 months a year

I have eight and then try out new recipes — maybe one a week.

Which recipe do you use? My go-to recipe is too much work for every week.

NP but how is it too much work? Cut 2 potatoes and 1 onion, cook in a generous amount of oill, beat 4 eggs, drain oil and potatoes, add salt, cook in a pan until almost set, flip on to a plate, slide back into pan, and cook until done. Easy peasy!
