A varied diet?

[Going to Cali]

My girlfriend and I are trying to cut down our unnecessary expenditure to save some money. First port of call is our food budget, we don't wish to compromise on quality but plan our meals more and buy what we need, not just what we see on shelves in the supermarket.

My problem, although I'm a reasonable cook, what I cook is not the most varied. Typically, I make

Curry
Risotto
Sweet potato soup
Meatballs
Chille con Carne
Stir fry
Bacon and avacado salad
Lasagna

What dishes do people typically make during the week?
