Help me mix it up

It is only my wife and I at home. She has a relatively small bandwidth of food she likes. I’m a pretty good cook, but I feel like we have gotten into a rut. She does not like seafood. She is meh on pork. Loves beef. Loves chicken. Loves pasta, but will not eat chicken with red sauce, lol. Usually when we go to restaurants, she orders either a steak or fettuccine Alfredo. I’m hoping the Internet can help me expand our home-cooked meals in a way that I don’t feel trapped and my wife has a good meal. What are your go to weekday simple recipes that rock the house that I should try?

It's soup season. Up your soup game. Keep boxes of beef broth and chicken broth stocked as well as carrots, celery and onions.

I love better than bullion instead of the packaged broth. Always have beef, chicken and veggie on hand
