We seem to end up having the same set of meals for weeks and weeks and I hate it. This week I didn't write a shopping list, didn't ask them what they wanted just had a look what was there and still ended up with the same stuff :rolleyes:. Problem is usually that if I make something new they complain they don't like it. We all like different types of meals. My daughter and son like pasta meals. I love stews, casseroles and pies and the oh prefers none of them!

Next week they are in for a shock because i'm digging the recipe books out and they are having something new every day of the week. I'll find them something they like whether they like it or not!

We try to vary it but of course laziness sets in and its easy to revert back to old habits

we have a lot of the same stuff depending on how tired im feeling. When my OHs cooking his speciality is frozen pizza. :D Although he did go to the efforts of making me mash potatoes, veg and pork chops because everytime i make tea baby waxy decides she wants feeding. Stick a piece of paper on the fridge and right down a basic list of what you have each night. It will show you what you eat often but also your favorites that you forget.
meals in our house are.

meat and potatoe pie
spag bol
shepards pie (but they get the face on when they realise there is no pastry to play with after).
stew
cous cous and veg with either ham or tuna
pasta bake
german dumplings with stew
lentil soup
german pea soup
veg soup
roast dinner
omelettes
one pot chicken (chicken, veg, potatoes and gravy cooked together in the oven.
