Need some dinner suggestions

DH says that he is getting bored with our dinner selections so I am trying to incorporate new things. His dad was a butcher so he gets us so many meats, sometimes too much it takes months to actually finish all of it.

Anyway, here is what we've been making and what I am thinking of adding. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I am not a great cook so please keep them simple.

What we make:
BBQ steaks (DH puts a rub on it but we never really marinade it)
Burgers
Baked Chicken Breasts
Chicken Cutlets
Pancakes
Grilled Cheese
Pizza

What I am thinking of adding to the mix:
Chicken Parm
Pasta (althought DH isn't a huge fan)
Raviolis

Thanks Girls!

Re: Need some dinner suggestions

what about:

meatballs
chilli
fajitas
mac and cheese
sandwiches (DH and I get cold cuts sometimes and make big sandwiches with a side of chips and a pickle)
we also do apps night... get some frozen stuff from Cosco (mozarella sticks, fries, wings) and maybe a Thurs or Fri night w/ friends have that with beer and watch a movie or play games

Just some ideas to change it up

Thank you girls so much.

I should mention DH doesn't eat pork and won't have anything with alcohol. And to make it even more difficult, I am a very picky eater.

Re: Need some dinner suggestions

dh's parents are chefs so making food my dh likes is hard.

this week i made beef stew and that was a hit. eta: deleted cause you said he doesn't like pork.

gnocchi, lasagna (using the no boil noodles),

well.. theres a lot you can do with chicken breast.
we make a mushroom stuffed chicken that comes out AWESOME ( the recipe is on here somewhere)

also take chicken, come uncooked rice, some frozen corn, and a can of cream of chicken soup put it all in a 9 x 13 pan, cover it and bake it for like 30-35 minutes ( until chicken is done). a whole meal in one dish!

chicken stir fry is good and easy- you can buy a bag of frozen stir fry veggies. just cut up the chicken and cook it in a frying pan, and then add the veggies and some soy sauce and cook it till the veggies are done... another whole meal in one pan!

if you have a crockpot, you can make chicken cacciatore in the crockpot. just put the chicken, some peppers, an onion, some garlic, and a can of crushed tomatoes in the crockpot. and let it cook while you're at work... serve it over rice or pasta.

with beef you could do meatloaf, tacos, chili
