Aibu to ask you for top five family dinners?

[Tempone]

So tired of cooking the same thing over and over again. I am the main cook for me dh and three boys, two are big teens and eat a lot, recently invested in a double air fryer.
We probably have a rotation of the same meals . If everyone shares their top 5 meals then there will be ideas for others.
Mine are
Fajitas,
Vietnamese style Pork with noodles and a fried egg
Pork chops in honey and soy
Carbonara
Sausage and bean casserole.
Cate to share yours?

Forgot a firm fave is mushroom stroganoff

Chilli
pulled pork
enchiladas
Spag bol
Risotto
Lasagne
Curry
Mac cheese

I know its more than 5 but the leftover pulled pork makes the enchiladas and the leftover bolognese makes the lasagne so I count them together, still over on count but hope you don't mind

Basa fish fillets dusted in flour and lebanese seasoning, pan fried in butter and lemon. Serve with fattoush salad, rice, flat breads and babaganoush or houmous

Wholewheat linguine with prawns, cherry tomatoes chilli garlic and a splash of white wine

Jerk chicken thighs, rice and peas, cabbage, sweetcorn and jerk gravy

Crispy Pork belly miso and chilli ramen with s soft boiled egg

Slow cooked lamb ragu with pasta or gnocchi

Pork chilli with sage and mint on crispy lettuce leaves

Jacket potatoes with ham.cheese and salad or with leftover bolognaise etc.
Chicken curry
Bolognaise
Chicken and veg chinese style on egg fried rice
creamy garlic chicken or pork on pasta or rice
Sausages roast potatoes and veg

I cannot recommend Tin Eats website enough. Excellent, easy and nutritional recipes. The chicken shawarma is on rotation here.

spaghetti and meatballs
sausage and pasta bake
chicken curry
bbq chicken with potato salad and caulslaw

Here’s 7 of our go-to meals:

Black bean burritos
katsu curry with sticky rice and greens
jacket potatoes with various toppings
pasta with roasted veg, haloumi and chickpeas
Roast dinner (Glamorgan sausages for the veggies, chicken for the meat-eaters)
homemade pizza and a big salad

I thought we where listing an average week of meals not favourite meals.

It's right there in the thread title and the opening post- top five meals!

lentil mushroom and Spinich lasagna with salad

Tacos

Omelette usually with onions, mushrooms, meat free bacon and cheese inside and have with toast

Toasted bagel with homemade guacamole and salsa and feta on and a poached egg on top.

Pie mash and mushy peas and then gravy on.

A chorizo thing - either risotto (with finely diced red pepper and carrots) or pasta with salad or stew with chickpeas and peppers and crusty bread.

Ramen (can be mushroom, chicken or pork depending on what's in/leftover)

Curried veg tray bake with my variation of tarka daal either with rice, naan or wraps-pretending-to-be-chapatis

Smoked mackerel rice. (DS's [13] favourite)
Diced onion & carrot, fry a bit, toss basmati in and add double the rice volume of veg stock, when rice is nearly done stir through frozen peas. Stir through a heaped tablespoon of cream cheese. Pick bones out of pack of smoked mackerel and toss flakes through rice mixture. Plenty of blackpepper.

Shakshuka with feta crumbled over the top and plenty of crusty bread.
