Meal Planning Doldrums

I sat down yesterday to plan this week's menu and suddenly wished I lived in a less prosperous country.  Maybe somewhere with two choices of food that everyone ate out of necessity and then moved on with their day.  I'm so tired of food and making decisions about food and shopping for food and preparing food.  Bleh.  I spent at least an hour looking through past menus and recipe sites, hoping for something that would even seem appealing, but I found nothing.  Everything looked gross.  I thought longingly of my college days when a three bowls of CheeriosCheerios Cereal, 14-Ounce Box (Pack of 4) sustained me through a day and I wished my kids didn't need more than that to thrive.  Okay, realistically, they could thrive on Cheerios, at least for a few meals, but they would rebel.  That means I've got to shake this off and actually plan some meals TODAY!  The only things that are even sort of appetizing are raw veggies and fruits.  Sounds like maybe it's a salad week.  Guess I'm off to search yummy salads.  Does anyone out there have a favorite recipe to share?
