Sometimes dinner time is a struggle. Most of the time it is for me. I like to look at restaurant menus to help me get ideas. Here is a cheat sheet of ideas.
You can find a lot of these meals at Black Bear Diner.
3 Egg Omelets, served with sour cream, salsa, hot sauce

Meat LOVERS- Ham, bacon, sausage, favorite cheese
Denver or Western originated with the railroad- Ham, bell peppers, onions, cheddar cheese

Burgers
Fat grilled patty and your favorite bun!
Toppings: Cheese, onions, tomatoes, avocado, a variety of pickles, BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, mustard, bacon, onion straws, grilled onions, mushrooms, horseradish sauce.
Melts
Get a yummy sour dough crusty bread to top. Broil in oven.
Club breakfast Melt- bacon, ham, egg, tomato, jack cheese, topped with parmesan cheese.
Chicken Ceasar Melt- mix chicken with Caesar dressing, tomato, Romain lettuce, Swiss and jack cheese, top with parmesan cheese.
Pot Roast Melt- spread bread with horseradish aioli, then slow cooked pot roast, grilled onions, jack and cheddar cheese and top with parmesan cheese.
Dinners
Fettuccini Alfredo- Serve with grilled chicken, and garlic bread
Ramen- pick a meat and match the broth, cook broth separately and rinse, then add to a bowl before pouring in the meat/broth. Add fresh sprouts, cilantro, jalapenos, and green onions when serving.
Chicken and Waffles- I like to pick up fried chicken at the grocery store deli, then I make basic waffles, with a little cinnamon added to the batter.
Grilled Salmon- served with grilled asparagus, mashed potatoes, broccolini.
Bacon Mac and Cheese- imagine your homemade mac n cheese, with bacon strips lining the top right before you bake. All the bacon fat seeps into the macaroni noodles. Yum.
Fish and Chips- Make your favorite potatoes and coleslaw to serve with your favorite fried fish.
Meatloaf- with mashed potatoes and broccoli.
Chicken Pot Pie- one of my favorites, make a flaky crust, mix inside ingredients together in a saucepan, chicken, carrots, peas, onions, celery, spices, potato starch, and chicken gravy.
Tacos- varieties include taco salad, burritos. Make sure you make a yummy taco meat and have sliced up lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, salsa, onions, beans, rice, and avocados.
Tri Tip- Roast, Grill, or Smoke, rest then slice, makes my mouth water thinking about it.
Roasted Turkey- cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, and my mom's cornbread!
Any sandwich can be transformed into a salad. I love a salty, buttery slice of toast with my salad! Kind of like croutons on the side.
