Just curious what others do for meal times.
My meal are about the same.
Breakfast is usually steel cut oatmeal, toast or eggs.
Lunch is usually spinach and tomato salad, maybe some pasta, soup or cheese and bread with fruit. Snacks are usually smoothies.
Dinner consists mostly of chicken or fish, sometimes beef or pork with one green vegetable and one starch. We always have dessert of pie, cake or ice cream. That's pretty much the same week by week with a few pizzas or pasta dished thrown in. We rarely eat sandwiches maybe a grilled sandwich now and then. We eat a lot a salad almost every day, and lots of blueberries more then anything.

I make a green salad every night. That's how I was raised and it's the only vegetable side everyone agrees on here. I usually serve one or more additional veggies with dinner. At least one person will get the veggie they like! And so far, no one but me eats brussels sprouts, but I still cook them!
I eat odd stuff for breakfast. Squash soup, cold grilled chicken wings, leftover salad with some cheese for protein. Maybe some Triscuits or Wasa crispbread thrown in for a grain. Never been a fan of sweet things. Especially at breakfast. Probably why I didn't eat breakfast until I was an adult and I figured out you don't have to eat sweet cereal or oatmeal. Cold pizza is good for breakfast too!

Now a days it's 'fend for yourself' meals.
If my husband or I cook, there's usually leftovers that can be reheated.
We definitely don't eat 3 meals a day here. Mostly just dinner.

Breakfast is usually a cup of coffee, a Super Sonic breakfast burrito, and a Route 44 Half-diet/Half regular Coke.
No lunch, I am a Rural mail carrier and there are no places to stop and eat, nor time for that matter.
Depending on how hungry I am, Supper usually consists of sometimes a
Lo Cal Shrimp type soup.
or Grilled Chicken with a side of onions, mushrooms and spinach sauted in a marinade.
or Beefy Cheese enchiladas with a green salad
or Chicken fajitas and the fixings
Grilled Porkchops
Grilled Ribeyes
Beef Burritos and Refried beans
Fried Catfish
Salmon Patties
Meat loaf and
Various different casseroles
We aren't really dessert people, so we usually skip that.

Breakfast is cereal or some kind of bar for the kids.
Lunch I'm the only one here. I eat whatever leftovers there are or PBJ
Supper always includes at least one green veggie and everyone must eat at least a serving of one. Peas are a regular. Lettuce salad, broccoli and brussel sprouts show up regularly.
We have grilled chicken frequently. Either on it's own with veggies or in fetuccin Alfredo. Hamburgers appear nearly weekly in the summer. Ham and pork chops are frequent, too.
Dessert seldom happens. I try not to keep much of that in the house because I am a weak person!

We eat a lot of tuna and salmon steaks during the summer. They are so good grilled with slices of peaches and pineapple. It's one of our favorite meals! I can't eat shell fish much but DH and kids could eat their weight in crab legs and lobster tails. I'm getting hungry reading the meal menus. LOL

Usually oatmeal with flaxseed, crasins, and raisins. Juice and tea. Maybe wholegrain pancakes or eggs once a week.
Lunch yogurt and some kind of healthy muffin or salads (more in summer). Occasionally tuna salad sandwich or low fat lunch meat or grilled cheese for lunch.
Dinner in winter we eat lots of soups. Other nights salmon or cod, baked sweet potato, love brown rice with red beans and veggies. Fruit in between meals We are trying to cut cholesterol, avoid additives/preservatives.
I make most of our bread. Making our yogurt now and trying to buy as many organic foods as are available. Drinking only filtered water and using it for cooking.
