Ok, here is my dilemma.....I am the type of person that if I eat the same foods over and over, I will get sick of them and won't ever eat them again. Meaning, if I ate plain chicken and broccoli everyday, I won't eat those things ever again.....maybe it's burnout, IDK. Anyway, I need a variety in my foods. I can do chicken, just not the same way all the time. I love green veggies, just not the same veggy daily. I hope I am making sense. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, what to do. I get bored, I get frustrated trying to figure out what/how I am going to eat for that day. Luckily I am not working right now, but if I was, that would be even harder.

I don't have the same problem you are speaking of, but I love trying new things. So maybe I can't help with some recipe ideas.

I am really into Piri Piri flavors right now. I have made a dry seasoning and a sauce. Both are delicious on fish, shrimp, chicken, burgers, beef and pork. Here is a link to the chicken and broccoli plate I made. The broccoli has a sweet soy glaze on it. The same glaze was great on spinach too.

Here is some spice blends that are great on chicken too.

I like to blend turkey with herbs, maybe onion and a little egg white (1 white to about 300g turkey) to make burgers or meatballs (depends really on the kinds of herbs you have).
I also ofc like plain roast chicken and turkey!

I also have a knack for throwing tonnes of veg with or without these meaty things(I have frozen chopped peppers, onions, broccoli+cauliflower, peas...and plenty fresh and tinned too) in with:

• either a tin of tomatoes -adding either italian herbs for pasta sauce, or kidney beans and spicy 'herbs/spices' for a chilli (no idea of the term)
• or about 1 tablespoon gravy granules and 1-2 stock cubes for a yummy hotpot! I just stir them right into the veg and maybe add a little water if it seems dry at all!

Fruit in fat free yoghurt can change with your tastes and if the fruit is a little soft, but not 'bad' I just blend it up with water or sugar-free flavoured water then freeze to make ice lollies.

Blending your mash with cauliflower can save you enough calories to add cheese if you like.

Oh and bromabakery.com/2013/04/37-calorie-brownies-and-no-im-not.html are delicious, I recommend with Walden Farms "0 Calorie chocolate sauce" to spread on top
