Default Need variety now- My fault, not diet

Yeah, I find now I am eating the same things all the time out of
convenience. I am sooo busy with the kids and also have a tight budget. I
can't buy the expensive cheeses, meats and treats I enjoy and I am feeling
like I should be eating a wider variety of foods.

I cook for the whole family and find I am eating green beans as one of my
only veggies!! (the 3 year old crowd thinks green beans rock)

My normal menu is:
Breakfast---
either a few eggs fried in butter/hard boiled or nothing
If i am running around town and get hungry because I skipped breakfast I eat
an Atkins Bar

Lunch---
Big Salad (Romaine lettuce with grilled chicken breast, maybe some slivered
almonds or grated cheddar or feta or gruyere) Oil, vinegar, s&p, garlic
powder
or
Chicken and cheese (if i have gruyere or aged provolone)
or
If i had breakfast sometimes I skip lunch and have a snack around 3. Atkins
bar or tuna or cheese and nuts

Dinner----
Roast chicken or Pork chops or pork loin or burgers (I miss lamb and steak
but $$$)
Green beans with butter or Brocoli Rabe w/Garlic & olive oil or salad if i
didn't have it at lunch
(maybe a few carrots if i made them for the kids)

That's about it!! I am content with food, I don't NEED more variety but I
probably should have more differet veggies. I dunno.

Any suggestions? Cheap quick veggie recipes? Quick cheap recipes in general?
Note: I don't eat Mayo or Mustard and don't like veggies in cheese sauce.
Think more mediterenean )

Thanks- JoAnna
