[Quiet Man Cometh]

What about ground beef or turkey? Cook until not raw and season. Can make burgers, lettuce wraps, tacos, meatballs, etc.

My staples tend to be fried veggies (often zucchini), usually in just butter, salt and pepper, plus boiled tiny potatoes (I'd rather not deal with peeling and cutting the big guys) and whatever meat item I can stick in the oven or a pan. Stuff is easy to dress up, too, to make it different. Might use soy sauce on the veggies, or cheese on the potatoes, etc.

Latest actual meal attempts have been a rose pasta with chicken, some manner of Korean-esque peanut lettuce wrap, asparagus and squash risotto, and mayo chicken.
