Dinner Rut

We are stuck in a dinner rut, with the same line up every week for dinner... Spaghetti & Meatballs
Tortellini
Porkcops
Hamburgers

What are some of your favorite dinner dishes?

I know every once in a while when I feel like we're in a dinner rut, we make breakfast for dinner. We usually end up doing waffles and bacon, or eggs and cinnamon rolls.

Tacos, fish, and grilled chicken are usually staples in our house for dinner every couple of weeks.

If I'm cooking dinner on a weeknight, it has to be quick and easy.

Tonight, I'm making Sesame Chicken Noodle Salad.  For the cooked chicken, you could always get that pre-cooekd rotisserie chicken from the grocery store (and have leftover chicken for something else).  I cut up about a pound of chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, and mixed up the sauce to marinate them in overnight. 

Last week, I made Turkey Lettuce Wraps.  Tasty & easy!

Check out the food blog Delish.  Lots of great dinner ideas!  A couple of my favorites are the Creamy Taco Mac and Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas.

I also get a lot of recipes from Real Simple and Cooking Light.

When we're in a rut, I love looking through my cookbooks for ideas. Seeing the pictures and having the recipes laid out in front of me really make it easy (um, duh? ha). This cookbook is sold at Target and most everything is 30 minutes or less. We've made several things from it and it's all been great.
