need NEW dinner ideas ( with meat)

I love chicken and scrammbled egg with veggie sides.

Scrammbled egg also goes perfectly with most fish and squid/
i stuffed squid with scrammbled egg the other day and almost had an orgasm.:laugh:

Infact just add most fish from the counter to your diet.
Its cheap and most of the fresh fish makes salmon taste like crap.
just wrap it in foil with lemon lime and salt.

Turkey Chili Mac is one my family loves:
1 lb ground turkey
8 oz elbow macaroni
1/2 C salsa
1 medium onion
1 can pinto beans
1 can fiesta corn
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Taco Seasoning to taste (depending on how spicy your family likes it, I use about a TBSP)
-Cook turkey and onion in a large skillet until turkey is browned. Add all ingredients EXCEPT the cheese and the macaroni, cover and simmer. While that's simmering, cook pasta as directed on package (wheat pasta obviously makes it a bit healthier). Stir macaroni into meat mix.
-For the cheese, if you aren't worrying too much about the calories, you can add about 1/2 a cup or so of shredded cheese to the whole mixture. For me, I serve it up and sprinkle the cheese on top of everyone's serving except mine.

Those aside I tend to take chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces and season according to what I'm craving that night (sweet,spicy,Italian, Thai) then cook in the skillet.

It can be served with veggies and whatever carb (if any) you want or it can be tossed in a soup or on a salad.

Also having quiona, lentils and barley (already cooked on the weekend) on hand makes for some interesting creations when chicken and canned veggies (mushrooms, artichoke, carrot, corn, green beans, beets, tomato) are added.

Canned beans can also be added to just about anything to increase protein and fiber much less flavor.

Skinnytaste.com is awesome, everything I have made from there has been great

I made chicken the other night with an avocado salsa on top (tomato, avocado,onion,garlic, olive oil, cumin, & lime)

Turkey & Quinoa stuffed peppers (sooo good and only 160 cals per half pepper): http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/612439-stuffed-peppers

I like making homemade pizza, you can make it as healthy as you want..(homemade crust)

Steak salads, taco salads

Since you shop once a month you might consider making up a menu before you do your groceries. I find when I take the time to do this not only do we save money but we also eat a broader variety of food. I'm also more likely to try new recipes because I know I have the ingredients for whatever is on the calendar. I spend a little time going through recipe books/magazines and make up my menu with mostly favorites but I always try to include a few new recipes too.

Pinterest is a good place to look for recipes. Also, if you know the type of meat you want to cook with just google that one (chicken, beef, pork, etc.) You'll get not only recipe sites but also the site for the "beef council" (or whatever) and they have recipes too.

I love stir frys and just switch which kinds of meat I use...shrimp, chicken, beef. And I just buy the bag of ready to go stir fry veggies so I don't have to worry about the vegetables going bad in the fridge.

My taco salad, about two cups of shredded lettuce, deer meat or turkey meat (ground up) with your favorite taco seasoning, through about three oz of meat on the lettuce! I add green peppers chopped and tomatoes and salsa and hot sauce, mix together and dinner! (if you want you can add tortilla strips too) about 300 calories of goodness!
