Grilled cheese.

I've been making Sweetie Darling's grape salad a lot for potlucks, and it gets a lot of positive attention.

Pasta with meat sauce and linguine with cheese sauce. Butter-roasted carrots. Grilled chicken with a little salt and pepper and olive oil. Red beans and rice. Pasta with veggies and jar sauce. Used to do chili baked potatoes a lot, but they take too long and Reid won't wait that long for dinner.

Grilled chicken thighs sprinkled with lemon/pepper seasoning.. easy peasey, quick, reasonably healthy with broccoli and a salad..

Pasta with veggies and olive oil and sardines or tuna thrown in.

grilled spatchcocked chicken, 45 min on the bbq... with salad and veg on day one, on a pizza with chard pesto, black olives and hot peppers on day 2, and in a sandwich for lunch on day 3

we branched out and grilled a spatchcocked turkey last week... ate it with grilled curried corn on the cob (another go-to) the first day, in enchiladas, sandwiches, pizza, and the rest in turkey pie

I'm looking forward to small game season - I've been promised some grouse this year.

buttermilk brined grilled chicken either chipotle or "ceasar" flavor  usually with roasted potatos or roasted cauliflower and some other veggie.

I am ashamed to admit that wednesday nights are some sort of frozen pasta with Ragu.... :-[

Fish/seafood based meals are the main staple (two times a week usually) ... tuna crusted in sesame seeds, stir fried squid, roast salmon.  I make a tofu based herb sauce (in place of mayo based creamy sauce) in large volume once during the week and that goes with lots of fish dishes. 

A big batch of mushroom soup for lunches (soak 20 or so dried shitakes, sautee until brown lots of onion, garlic, and button mushrooms, throw it all into a good food processor with good amount of salt, chives, some soaking liquid, and a few dollups of yogurt or splash of whole milk ... whir up and season to taste with lemon juice, more yogurt/milk, more salt, etc.)

Salad (we have one most nights ... basic but I never tire of ending a meal with fresh greens)

Brined then pan seared pork chops.  With braised red cabbage if I have time.  Otherwise with sauteed onions.

Lots of "grilled" veggies (we are apt. dwellers so it's more like grill pan or roasted)

Ground turkey either in patties (my SO does these and comes up with a different flavor profile each time) or just made with taco like seasoning (sometimes eaten with tacos or sometimes over spaghetti squash etc.)

Ditto that.  When I can't think of anything else to do, it's a whole chicken on the bbq.  I usually get four meals off it, or more if I make a stock from the spare parts and turn that into a soup or stew.

Spaghetti -- usually I use Ragu jarred sauce and add browned hamburger
Tacos or burritos with ground beef and black beans
Pasta with sauteed veggies and chicken or shrimp
Breakfast for dinner.  When I was single this was scrambled eggs with whatever veggies are in the fridge (usually mushrooms, spinach, red peppers), now it's more likely to be eggs and toast, eggs and hashbrowns, or breakfast burritos.
Flatbread pizza (using tortillas if we don't have those Flat-Out flatbreads)

Like MM, I'm not a big recipe user.

Lately it's been lasagna, london broil, chicken breasts cooked in some way and tacos.  Always some sort of veggie too.   I'm actually browsing around now to find some new go-tos.

Oh yeah... I/we've been making a lot of chicken strips wrapped with basil leaves and proscuitto.  It's really good, and really hard to stop eating.

Interesting. Like chicken breast cut in strips, and baked with the wraps?

Yep.  Cut in strips, lay out a sheet/piece of proscuitto.  Place the chicken strip on the proscuitto, top with some basil leaves, and roll up.  If you use enough proscuitto, you don't need to secure with a toothpick or anything.  Drizzle with olive oil, put some salt and pepper on top, and bake at 425 for 20 - 25 minutes, until the chicken is done.  Really, really good!  :drooling-5:

I like to make the chicken strips shorter so that the proscuitto covers the whole thing :d but I am a ham whore.
