hmmm.. off the top of my head:

Pizza, lasagna, baked/sauteed salmon/perch fillets,
chicken/beef/pork/shrimp stir fries, sauteed boneless chicken
breast(scallopini, piccata)grilled/broiled steak, macaroni and cheese
casserole, spaghetti (bolognese and marinara), frittatas with various
vegetables, baked chicken(lemon and herb, "BBQ", oven fried),
chicken/turkey soup with noodles/matzah balls/rice, vegetable soup, ham
and bean soup, chili, hamburgers, chicken/pork/shrimp fried rice, "BBQ"
pork western ribs, hot dogs, Italian sausages, pot roast, beef stew,
baked ziti, "pasta bake" with rotini and zucchini and peppers and
mozzarella, homemade chicken nuggets and strips, chicken/beef/turkey pot
pie, roast turkey, roast chicken, chicken Kiev, beef/chicken/bean tacos,
bowtie pasta with pork sausage and greens, stuffed peppers, <a

in purgatory</a> , ravioli(frozen, not homemade), rice and beans with
chicken/pork, pork chops, pork loin roast, pork/beef "BBQ" sandwiches,
meatballs, fried chicken, egg-sausage-bacon-potato-pancake breakfast
food for dinner, etc. etc. etc.

Each of these things is a complete dinner, if you add rice, potatoes, or
another starchy thing, and a vegetable, a salad, and fruit for dessert.
I'll make a batch of cookies or a pie or a cake a few times a month for
fun. We eat yogurt, cereal or oatmeal, and fruit for breakfast. I make
sandwiches and take fruit and raw vegetables for lunch; I take leftovers
if there are any. Weekend lunches might largely depend on canned soup
and boxed macaroni and cheese, but I don't think a small amount of junk
food is so horrible.
These are just regular kind of things that I don't need to look up
recipes for (except maybe, for the pizza and biscuit dough, and pie
crust, and snacky baked goods). It might not be fancy food, but I think
two month's worth of dinners is variety enough.
