Coming up with dinner ideas

How do you guys come up with new dinner ideas? For me coming up with something to make is way, way harder than actually cooking. Can you put suggestions in the comments?

My go to is Pinterest for new dinner ideas if I like it I'll write it down an put in my binder for meals. I also use supercook app that I put ingredients that I already have at home an will load up meals.
But usually I do any type of Mexican for Tuesdays an sat/sun either out to eat or leftovers

I found this the other day and it looks super helpful! I’m going to write this down for myself too and add some extra meals which will come in my mind

Pinterest, or we rotate through a list of favorites like lasagna soup or chicken pot pie gnocchi otherwise it’s frozen/canned

But if you type meal prep spreadsheet on tiktok search there will be a lot of similar ones

Pinterest for recipes usually. Altho I’ve really been trying to base menus off of what we have rather than getting ingredients for stuff I want to make 😫

Personally I go onto apps such as Gousto or hello fresh. I go to “order” a box. A lot of the recipes you see you can see the ingredients and recipe for free so I save them or screenshot!! Get a delivery and do it at home

I like the app mealime or even just getting ideas from Instagram. But mealime is nice since it creates a grocery list when you create a menu and can even connect to local grocery stores to do a pick up or delivery order.

We do spaghetti Monday, manwich tuesday, hamburger helper on Thursday, etc. Wednesday is wildcard where everyone gets to pitch in for an idea or we just grab a pizza

I look up recipes on Tik Tok! I love the visual of them showing the dish.

We plan 3 meals a week and double the meals so it comes out to 6. Usually, our ideas are seasonal and are based on how much capacity I have to cook lol. Due to summer and me being full time in school, summer is less complicated lol:
Burgers, fries
Brats, salad
Pasta salad with pepperoni, veggies, high protein pasta, feta, and balsamic vinaigrette
Chicken wraps (using chicken strips or rotisserie chicken and different sauces like caesar, ranch, buffalo, bbq to mix it up),
Potato, veg sheet pan with sausage or ham for protein
Homemade naan pizzas

Is this fucked or normal

Everything is such an exchange in my relationship. I’m gonna skip a bunch of shit. He thinks that if he makes an effort to take OUR son off my hands for a moment then I should have sex/be intimate whenever he feels like it. I’m with our toddler day in day out I don’t get a break, he comes with me to ALL my appointments … to the gym, everywhere. He NEVER has him because it’s my job to raise his son 🥴

Today I’m exhausted, sore & want to relax and he tells me I always reject him and we never have sex. It’s been 48 fucking hours since we had sex.

So he tried to guilt trip me into giving him a handjob and I said no. Then we argued about who does what and when and I was just like no. I cannot do this shit with a 40 year old man. I’m on the lounge now because wtf is wrong with him.

He keeps threatening to break up with me because I don’t give him intimacy whenever he wants which is crazy cause fuck you.

No wonder I hate men.

A little revenge

So I been going through a lot, found out my partner was cheating on me, got pregnant, got in a car accident and after a few weeks we got pregnant again, I shouldnt have taken him back bc he was still with the other girl. I was nice to tell the girl he was playing with both of us when I found out. Anyways she didn’t care. He didn’t want me to tell his parents so he try to harm me and the baby two nights in arrow before telling his parents, we talked after a whole misunderstanding since his family kick me out. I did post ànd expose him on social media which made them more angry, have it time ànd in two weeks he come back but just lying and bc I wanted my baby to grow with his dad I took him in but he was lying he was still with the other girl while telling me he wanted our little family and stuff. I ended up finding out and went to the girl again asking her the truth and he had been lying to her as well ànd rejecting our baby. Long story short I got so upset bc there is more, so I called and reported him to his work for stealing goods, and buddy punching manipulating his work time, as well as I reported the girl’s parents to immigration since they use fake papers to work. I know it’s bad 😭I should let karma or God take care of it but I can’t with all the pain 🥺I was being nice to both of them how could they? How can I turn this type of person that I’m not.

When you randomly run into naked pictures of women selling sexual stuff ,how do you feel immediately?

Obviously to each their own ,I’m just curious what women think obviously we all mind our business.
We know men pretend to hate publicly but privately is different story.
