So, any suggestions?

I agree with Curly on this one. I cut recipes in half or I plan to eat on the leftovers all week. Sometimes a combination of the two. Most weeks I plan three different meals but I plan to make about 4 servings of each meal. That way I can rotate the leftovers and not get too bored with whatever I'm eating. I try to choose a variety of types of foods for the three meals. For example I might make chicken fajitas, spaghetti with meat sauce, and sandwiches with a salad on the side. I'm not amazing cook or anything so I make pretty easy meals but it works well for me.

If you want to get all organized about it you can put proteins you like (and know how to cook) in one column, carbohydrates in another column, and vegetables or side dishes in a third column. Then you just pick one from each column and rotate what you pick so it is not the same thing each week. (I used to do that at one point.)

Oh and one more thing .... take advantage of all the shortcut meals and things they have in the grocery store. Like the fajita dinner kits where you just add the protein and vegetables. If you want some specific/concrete ideas let me know. You got this!
