Inspiration required for evening meals!

I am really in a rut with my recipes and I am looking for some ideas! I cook from scratch most of the time and like batch bake options. At the moment we have enchiladas/burritos, curries, pasta bakes, pilafs, pizzas, tagines, mince dishes etc.
I eat fish and chicken, rest of family eat lamb and beef too. Budget is small so any advice would be most gratefully received!

Frozen white fish fillets are cheap. I marinate in a mix of curry paste and natural yoghurt and then bake in the oven spread the tops with mango chutney and finish under the grill for a couple of minutes.
Also do lots of chicken and veg skewers again marinate chicken in whatever you fancy and thread along with chunks courgette, pepper, red onion etc and bake.
Frittata really good for using up any bits of veg that need finishing.
I'm also playing with falafels at the moment, adding different veg alongside chickpeas, BNS is lovely, again I bake in the oven so you can put them in and leave them.
Stuffed peppers & stuffed mushrooms, quiche, baked sweet potatoes with toppings, stir fries, homemade fish cakes and bean burgers, salads like Cesar and nicois also make an appearance.
