Gosh, you sound like me— I make the same meals week after week and now I’m just bored and don’t care anymore. One thing is we have kids and I hate to hear the whining and such when there is something new… I have tried new recipes which some are ok but like you had mentioned, it takes a lot of work!! I’d prefer recipes from other people who regularly makes the dish.

I just found this and it sounded really good. I bet your kids would love it and it’s not too far out of the realm. If you don’t like broccoli, use another vegetable. http://www.delish.com/recipefinder/roast…
