this time of year is perfect for experimenting with the slow cooker if you have one - you can try lots of things
if you are usually meat and veg or meat and salad people, you could look at doing something like a steak sandwich for something different (we make a killer steak sanga!)
ummmmm, as suggested, vary the way you do your veg - we do a bulk vegie bake and freeze it - every veg we can think of, lightly fried in a garlic butter, white sauce, then freeze and defrost to chuck in the oven to bake up.
stirfry is a good idea
roast
shepherds pie/cottage pie
it's great to experiment - i've been doing it a fair bit lately to try and get different food in our diet - packing everything with heaps of vegies so that it can be frozen (mostly slow cooker stuff) and have nutritious meals all served together
serve vegies as bubble and squeak for something different...
damn - mind blank!
ooh, if you make a spag bol, have you thought to do a lasagne or other kind of pasta bake? we make a vegie laden spag bol (or chicken bol - replace mince with chicken cubes), put it in an oven dish, top with cheesy white sauce, bake it up.... mmmmm
i had this problem the other night when i got chicken breast out for dinner.
after cooking it in my george foreman grill i added pizza sauce, pineapple pieces, ham, cheese and put into the oven until cheese was melted. Served it with steamed greens and a small portion of pasta bake(was leftover from the night b4). Was very nice and a change from just plain breast and something ill do again.
there is nothing worse then being stuck in a foor rut
