When I was in grad school, I lived on oatmeal for breakfast, a cheese sandwich on homemade bread for lunch, and a small stir-fry on rice for supper. I never got sick of it.
Now my spouse is vegetarian, and the kids don't eat beef (long story). If we eat meat, it's just a nice little bit of chicken or pork that the kids and I can put on our portion. And due to a health scare, I have replaced the cheese sandwiches with hummus on bread.
Recently my family went on a trip and I had to stay behind. So, on the first day, I went to store and brought home ... a steak!
When it came time for me to make my supper, I looked at the little steak, then proceeded to chop it into bits and turned it into ... a small stir-fry on rice for supper. The beef was a treat, and I spiced it up more than usual.
During the remaining five days of my family's trip, I lived on oatmeal for breakfast, a hummus sandwich for lunch, and a small stir-fry on rice for supper.
That hilarious, we had a very similar meal plan. I used to have oatmeal for breakfast since I was a teenager. A simple sandwich for lunch and a stir fry for dinner.
I would cooked 5 portions of the stir fry on the weekend and have dinner for M-F. I did vary it up with different types of meat and vegetables, but otherwise it was the same.
