Food Boredom

Every so often I get tired of making the same recipes week after week.  We tend to eat a lot of chicken (Chicken Parmesan, Lemon Chicken, Chicken Adobo, Greek Grilled Chicken).  And we have Turkey Kielbasa with Veggies quite a bit (stir-fry cut-up veggies in a couple tablespoons of oil, then add already cooked kielbasa cut into rounds; serve over rice).  We also eat a lot of beef (stew, chili, tacos, stir-fry).

My husband doesn't eat pork, and fish has been so expensive lately.  We also try to limit carbs, so I seldom serve pasta as a main dish.  And I'm not a big veggie eater, so we don't do stuffed peppers and such.

This week's menus were:
Chili with cornbread and corn
Chicken Adobo (drumsticks marinated in vinegar and soy sauce) over rice, with green salad
Turkey breast with mashed potatoes, green beans, salad; apple cake for desert
Spaghetti with meat sauce, corn, salad
Leftovers

Inspiring, I know!  Actually, the apple cake was quite good.  I got the recipe from one of my favorite magazines, Cooking Light.  And the Chicken Adobo is a new favorite of ours and super easy to put together (cheap, too!).

We need to branch out a little and vary our diet...any suggestions?
