Bored with Food... Suggestions?

[defcon4]

I'm going grocery shopping later this afternoon.
I'm so BORED with the food I normally get and want to try something NEW!
Are there any foods you love that you would recommend?

Anything! Snack, meat, veggie, dink a certain "dish"....help!!!!

There are lots of good recipes floating around this section of the forum. I've posted several myself. Orange chicken, ribs with cherry glaze and homemade mac and cheese just to name a few!

She doesn't like cherry… make it blue berry

Well, my recipe is for cherry. She can take it or leave it.

hahaha… she doesn't like okra, mushrooms, Limburger and cherries… the rest is a "go" for the time being

She can take or leave it. It is a suggestion is all.

Stay away from the frozen foods.

Try broccoli, kale, french cut beans, mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, garlic, peas. Put it in a wok or big pan and heat with olive oil (not extra virgin, smokes too soon). Fry up some chicken tenders or lean beef. Cook some brown rice. Put the rice on a plate, the veggies and then meat. Season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.

There are many variations but I do about the same veggies nightly. You can throw some cheese on there, use quinoa instead of rice. Use cottage cheese instead of meat, or crushed nuts. Add guacamole, etc.

What's wrong with frozen food?

It's too crunchy.

Not if you cook it first!

I have recently rediscovered frog legs.
No wild ones to be found, insist on louisiana farmed frog as the chinese ones are fed chunks of political prisoners.

You holler for help, and I'm sure many here would love to help you. But we cannot know how to save you from your "normal food" if you don't tell us what your normal food is in the first place.

What is your typical menu?

We must identify the villian before we can save the damsel in distress.

I forget who posted it, but I do recall the orange chicken recipe and made it and my wife and I both really liked it.

Go here foodgawker feed your eyes and filter most popular of all time.

That all looks great, I admit, but, also looks like a lot of work to prepare!

Pizza Hut has accomplished the impossible, and combined Pizza with hot dogs!

With hotdogs!!??! GROSS
Why not Italian sausages? Marinara sause

Oh--sounds like pizza

Bonzi, I have tons of chicken recipes. Chicken is very versatile and is delicious just about any way you cook it. You should also go to Food Network.com and browse their recipes for some ideas.

I've actually looked. Always hard to find something that is quick to prepare and cook. Mostly I want to keep it quick on the prep and ingredients. I don't want to spend 30 minutes just getting a dish ready. If I could find something that required 3 or 4 ingredients that I could prepare in 5 minutes, it would be golden!

Look at Rachel Ray's recipes. Dinner in 30 minutes or less! Five minutes is expecting too much for a home cooked meal I think unless you like instant rice.

I hate to cook. After I get off work at 5 it's like a race... horrible.
I guess I need to go strictly crock-pot

That's a good option if you don't really feel like or enjoy cooking. You can start it in the morning and put it on low. I don't use the slow cooker often because I really love to cook and enjoy "interactive" cooking. Lol. Gracie has a thread here with all kinds of really good slow cooker recipes.
