What family meals do you make in a week?

I need inspiration and also just interested to know what everyone does...

This week:
Sunday - roast chicken with all the trimmings (eaten way too bloody early to accommodate the football 😂)
Monday - dh used up the chicken leftovers and made himself something with rice, ds and I had salmon, potatoes and some greens
Tonight - Côte de boeuf with sautéed potatoes, kale and a goats cheese/herb/garlic/chilli stuffed mushroom
Tomorrow - pork tenderloin fillet but will
be cubed and kebabed on the bbq (currently marinading) with bbq’d asparagus, salad bad bread for those who want it
Thursday - pasta bake or aubergine parmigiana with salad
Friday - I’m away so I don’t know what the others are having.
Quite meat heavy this week as both our girls are out and about so we are making the most of it as they only really like chicken!
I am low carbing so have variations of the above.
Thank god for dh who does all the thinking up of meals and cooking…

Fajitas, spagbol/chilli, chicken breast with some sort of carb, salmon with rice, pasta and meatballs, curry. Most meals have carrots, broccoli and baby sweetcorn on the side.

Pretty standard stuff over here I'm afraid! I try out new recipes and everyone moans so just stick to the favourites mostly!

Following for inspiration though!!
