Whats your simple weekly menu?

I'm looking to simplify dinner every week. Just m-f would be fine. Thank you!

Mine is a little more complicated this week then usual because of school. I am in a food a culture class and we have a project of making a traditional item not of our heritage. I am actually making a couple this week because I found a lot of recipes that looked good.

Mon- french bread pizza, homemade

Tues- Bruschetta, baked brie with roasted garlic and green beans- using up the extra french bread made by my recipe. Vegetarian.

Wed- Garden Pasta- canned tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach and zuc tossed with pasta- vegetarian- could easily add some pepperoni or a cured meat.

Thur- Pirozhki (meat pastry). Pretty simple but requires a dough be made. Its just a puffy dough filled with cooked ground beef and a few diced veggies. We're having it with roasted carrots and broc as sides. Polish recipe - I think, can't remember now

Fri- baked cabbage w/ smoked sausage. Think this one is Polish too

For my project I am making youvetsi (lamb and orzo) which is Greek and lemon lime syrup cake.

Now for a more typical week:
Mon: veggie fettuccine Alfredo (home made "diet" recipe)
Tues: crock pot Tuscan beef stew
Wed: Veggie lasagna (with red sauce not white)
Thur: Sweet and sour Veggies over rice- no meat
Fri: Hamburgers, sweet potato and carrot fries

I meal plan on the weekends to make my life easier through the week.

Roast chicken with veggies and potatoes
Chicken enchiladas (using leftover chicken) and Mexican rice
Spaghetti or some other kind of pasta dish
Sandwiches

I usually only cook every other night because it's just DH, me, and DD (19 mos). Most of the recipes I make are enough to feed us for 2 nights.

Here's our weeks menu:

Monday-tuna noodles and peas
Tuesday-vegetable beef soup
Wednesday-church
Thursday-chicken and rice with broccoli
Friday-lasagna with garlic bread and salad
Saturday-chili and cornbread
Sunday-chicken enchiladas

I make what I can ahead of time. I use my rice cooker for rice and my crock pot for baked potatoes and soup. I work Monday through Thursday so I keep it pretty simple.

At least once a week, I cook a double batch of something so I can add the leftovers to my freezer stash. That gives me one or two nights a week that I can just grab a freezer meal for dinner. So typical week might look something like this:

Some kind of soup - extra big batch (either freeze half or use extras for lunches).
A couple of quick dinners like Korean beef or stir fry.
Something vegetarian like roasted vegetables over quinoa.
One big production type meal which is usually a cheat meal - this week's was fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, cornbread, etc.
Then I fill in anything else with meals from the freezer.
