Need some inspiration!

Nothing special because DH is starting a new job and things are going to be a little crazy around here for a while. I've got lots of burger meat in the freezer so probably burgers, or tacos. We've got frozen pizza which is quick and easy. Homemade mac n cheese. We've got chicken in the freezer I may do several things with.
-
Lots of salads!!!
-
My husband and I split the cooking duties. I think this week the menu is:
Chocolate Chicken Chili w/ Cornbread

Tofu stir fry
Pasta w/ potato/pea sauce
Eggs poached in tomato sauce w/ kale & polenta
BLTs & chips -

@Mrs. J: I am going to try that lasagna! DH has cut almost all beef and pork out of his diet, so I'm always looking for good veg recipes. I am getting sick of chicken.
Mon: kimchi soup, rice, dumplings, spam (don't judge)

@mrsmate: If you do make it, I would double the amount of pinto beans to two cans. I think you guys will like it!

Hmmm I think we are doing a thai green curry tmr. You only need chicken, onion, a sweet red pepper, maybe some other veg, coconut milk, and the green curry paste. And rice. If you keep a tub of the green curry paste in the fridge and canned coconut milk in the pantry, it is pretty much always available:)!
-

Tonight was homemade pizza topped with Italian sausage, artichoke hearts, jalapenos, and spinach.
