  Tim definitely gets into the habit of making the same things for a while...(often because I ask him to make them )  Our rotation is pretty seasonal of course too - lots of soups in winter, salads in summer.

  Right now things that are "heavy" in the rotation are:

  -minestrone - probably our top winter dinner, freezes well for leftovers
  

  -grilled cheese and tomato soup
  

  -pastas (mushroom, also there's a smoked mozzarella/tomato/green olive one that I love that I've been asking for a lot lately)

  -chili (vegetarian)
  

  - japanese udon soup w/ vegetables

  - spicy veg. couscous

  i don't have any great suggestions, but I just wanted to commend you on having such a variety all the time! What an amazing second-shifter you are! we usually eat simple stuff, like: fat free pinto beans (sometimes mashed up so it's like refried beans, i think it's the same thing) and salsa in tortillas tofu brocooli stir fry Baking chicken breast and vegetables (in e.v.o.o. and s & p - in a separate dish than chicken) - at the same time. we tried this dijon lemon panko crusted chicken breast tonite that was really moist and good. rice with sunny side up egg and some other protein - spam, chicken, or nothing; and with soy sauce and weirdly, a little butter, all mixed together. it's sort of like donburi. but my mom would make it as a simple dinner sometimes. i like these recipes a lot: http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000000222191&cookbook_id=5096589 it's called Baked Eggplant with Mushroom and Tomato Sauce on the cooking light website. also search Beef Daube Provencal on the same site - both light and healthy options. Let me know if you ever want to try some Korean dishes, like kim chi jigae .... or how do make korean dumplings. are korean ingredients are available in your area?

  Jen - My closest grocery store is actually a Korean one! So... tell me more about Korean cooking. I only ever go into the place to pick up Japanese ingredients.

  Anna! Yay! You had me at green olives. Care to share the recipe? We rarely do pasta here because it just doesn't excite me, but smoked mozza + green olives sounds to die for.
