Need recipes!

I know that several of you out there cook. What fun things are you eating these days? I am uninspired by the recipes we have. I am in search of meaty entrees. For this week we already have roast chicken planned, so I'm not looking for a chicken recipe, but just about anything else would be good.

though we don't eat meat here, we do make a mediteranean style pasta that is quite tasty with shrimp (as the original recipe included it.) the sauce is simply sauteed lg. onion, garlic to the level you would like, olive oil. then add diced tomatoe, chopped marinated artichoke hearts (as opposed to the ones just jarred in oil), and finely sliced sun dried tomatoe. i don't really cook with measurements, except for baking and starchy mixes. precooked shrimp are then reheated in the simmering sauce. serve over long pasta of your choice.

also, every now and then i give in to the hankerin' for some excellent split pea soup. i actually got my mom's rockin recipe to find out that it was essentially the same as this one from epicurious. i doubled the recipe and substituted stock for half the water. and i recommend pork butt (whatever that actually is) over all other pork forms.

another idea my friend introduced me to when i was pregnant with eve and could only keep down meat was to cook pork chops in apple juice and powdered clove.

ooh, how about stuffed potatoes with ground turkey (seasoned with taco mix or mexican spices), broccoli, shredded cheese, pico, and sour cream? i make this using light life's beef style veggie crumble.

if i hadn't just had a huge plate of spinach lasagna right now i'd be making myself hungry!

That shrimp with artichoke hearts thing has promise. No one here but me eats white potatoes, so I almost never eat them any more:( Maybe next week I'll put shrimp on the menu again. Thanks for the ideas!
