We always have a fish night, but one week it will be salmon and the next it will be a white fish.

They send you a weekly menu with the recipes and shopping list, you just shop and cook! It has been AWESOME! Haven't repeated a single meal yet, and we go out to eat wayyyy less often! I highly recommend it! (Our deal was $29 for a year of meals, the regular price is like $58 or something, which I would probably pay) lawbee11 on "How often do you make the same thing for dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-make-the-same-thing-for-dinner#post-1292984 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 22:30:29 +0000 lawbee11 1292984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Leialou: Ugh please come live with us!!!

I try not to serve the same side dish with the same main course. Also I switch up the seasoning so even if we have chicken every week it tastes different.

Although we tend to eat something a lot (like once/week) for a few months then get sick of it and switch to something else. I'm not very good about rotating everything more evenly.

My husband does a low carb diet, so pretty much every day our meal consists of a lean protein, a salad and another vegetable. We eat a chicken breast/caesar salad/broccoli combo probably three times a week, salmon once, and taco salad twice.

Even then, I try hard not to just to keep things interesting.

Its something I want to get better at. Using the same recipes is just easy and cost effective in terms of meal planning. Each week we normally have taco Tuesday (change the kind), grilled steak/chicken, a ground beef recipe (made chili tonight), and a pasta dish.

For example, I bake some salmon every Wednesday... and also make carbonara and lasagna once a week as well. Hopefully over time, I have more recipes and I can switch to a "once every two weeks" rotation! For now though, this is the best I can do. How often do you make the same thing for dinner?
