Here's a list of other dishes that come under my category of 'standard dinners'.
Barley salad - accompanied with some roasted mushrooms
Beetroot & lentil salad
Noodle salad
Noodle stirfry with tin of mock duck and assorted vegetables
Sweet potato dumplings and sweet potato noodles
Crunchy roast potatoes with some panfried fish* and steamed green vegetables
Potato and dill salad
Thai green curry with tofu, zucchini and eggplant
Brown rice salad with tahini sauce, toasted almonds and some steamed greens
Black bean soup with capsicum and corn
Lentil bolognaise
Oven-full of mixed roasted vegetables and some homemade satay sauce
Laksa
Green vegetable & barley soup
(* rare. I think I've bought fish once in the last 6 months - and it was that basa fillet frozen crap that costs about 10 dollars a kilo).
We're not vegetarian but we barely ever buy meat - maybe once a month. It's not good value for money and it makes a mess.
It's funny how your 'standard dinners' change over time. Six years ago I always made this chicken and egg on rice dish (Japanese style), mushroom pizza, broth with soba noodles, and pasta with tomato, tuna, zucchini and carrot sauce. For some reason I'd never dream of making any of theses things now.
Have you got any 'standard dinners' you'd like to share with me? I'd love to hear about them!

My 'standards' change all the time too. I used to make lots of stir-fries, stopped for a while, and now am getting back into them. Then I went through a thai curry phase which is almost fizzed out...
i have been meaning to comment on this it makes me sooo hungry!!!! your tofu + bok choy looks so yummy. my standard dinner is: dhal + yogurt, beetroot burgers, scrambled tofu, or vegie pita bread pizzas!
Thanks Laura! Pita bread pizzas are a great idea - something I know about but had almost forgotten. I feel like I can only remember so many 'dinner ideas' at once and when I learn a new one an old one pops out! :)
I do a mean veggo stir-fry as well as a pretty handy Pea and Ham soup.
My lamb shanks are also good on a cold Melbourne winter night as well.
Now im hungry... ;)
