Making my meal plan for next week and I need so inspiration!! What did you eat this past week for dinner? TIA!

Re: Can you share your Meal Plan?
dinners now are super easy-usually fresh fruit,carrot sticks and yogurt. If they want protein it's a slice of turkey or peanutbutter. The best part-no cooking! They eat warm, balanced meals at school and I'm loving this easy route.
Now to answer your question-currently I'm hungry and this is what's on my mind: tacos, bacon wrapped shrimp and chocolate chip pancakes.
Lunch has been a wheatberry, green bean, and zucchini salad with pesto.
Lots of Salads loaded with cucumbers, beets, ham, peppers,strawberries topped with pumpkin seeds and basalmic vinegar for dressing
and main meal- cheesy Spaghetti Squash!! So yummy!!
or salads with Turkey breast.

-Paprika Chicken dish with no yolk egg noodles (Pampered Chef's 29 minutes till Dinner cookbook). This dish includes long stem green beans.
-A lasagna style pasta dish with a green vegetable on the side.
- fish tacos (cod cooked in Cajun seasoning) with sautéed summer squash - put in burrito shell and add salsa, cheese, avocado.
- turkey burgers with sweet potato "fries" and salad
- quick meal on an "on-the-go" night: boxed whole wheat mac- n-cheese, add peas and tuna
- quinoa salad (quinoa, feta, red onion, grape tomatoes, oregano, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar)
This week so far we've had:
- tomato, roasted pepper and arugula pasta
- grilled teriyaki steak tips (marinated the night before) and caprese quinoa salad
- grilled chicken breast, green beans and garlic bread (my go to easy meal is throw chicken on the grill!)
Tonight we are having herb roasted chicken that I marinated last night while DS was eating. And Friday is pizza and salad (which I cheat and use a boboli thin crust for).
I've been finding lots of new recipes on Pinterest.
ETA: DS eats so early that he usually gets leftovers from the night before (or some version of) and we cook/eat after he goes to bed.

Crockpot chicken parmesan, broccoli (leftovers from weekend)
Crockpot Korean beef served in tortillas with asaragus stir fry, fruit (leftovers)
We had a date night (first dinner date since DS was born!) and the kids had tortillas with lunch meat, cheese, fruit salad and then I have no idea what the sitter let them have. We don't have any junk, so probably more fruit.
Chicken sausage, green beans, fruit (first meal I will cook this week, tonight)
Taco Bell (Confession: we eat this weekly. the kids eat a fruit salad before we go or in the car, then cheese quesadillas and I eat fresco tacos. I figure, I could MAKE them cheese quesadillas, but how much worse can fast food quesadillas be?? Not that bad). This might actually change to homemade pizza this week.
