Help !  I 'm so bored with my usual food choices, and so is everyone else. I don't know if I'm lazy or just disinterested, but nothing sounds appetizing. I usually love yo cook and scope out new recipes, but , I've hit a wall.  Do you have any suggestions ?  I'm going to the market tomorrow or Friday and any ideas would be appreciated. We got take out tonight, but I can't do that indefinitely , LOL.

Lately, we've been eating light dinners:

 

Last night:

salad with romaine lettuce

cucumbers

tomatoes

avocado

hard-boiled eggs halved

 

(easy dressing:  lemon juice, olive oil)

 

crackers:

smoked salmon (from Costco)

cream cheese

 

The entire prep took about 20 minutes.

I certainly wish I had some brilliant ideas, but I am just so tired of food in general.  Tired of shopping for it, storing it, preparing it and even eating it.   And I am one that loves to read cookbooks and try new recipes.

 

Maybe it is my age, I have been cooking for many years...........

I could have written this post...I am sick of trying to come up with an idea for dinner.  

 

My husband likes ham salad so I picked up a small container and we had sandwiches for dinner.  I really need to think of something decent for dinner tomorrow night.

 

We do salads, taco salads, quite often but sometimes I want more of a meal.  During strawberry season, sometimes we just have strawberry shortcake.

BLT's sound good to me 😄 and a fresh fruit salad. Ok, 6 more people here have to plan a dinner for you, and you will be set for a week ...no planning..just go shopping for the foods...lol...problem solved.

@likeitis , I love BLT's , but the tomatoes are pretty sad. August I will load up on good tomatoes. However, turkey sandwiches with Lettuce and bacon sounds good.
