I tend to start at the other end of the process with the ingredients - for example:

eggs, mince,chicken,chicken fillets,fish,pasta

then, I have a list of meals that I can make with each:

eggs: omelette, quiche
mince: chilli, spaghetti bolognese, cottage pie, lasagne, spaghetti and meatballs
chicken: roast, then salad, followed by soup for instance
chicken fillets: cajun chicken, curry, stirfry, etc
fish - well, depends what sort! Thai style salmon, salmon and rice salad, fish pie etc
pasta - as well as the ones above, with tomato and veg sauce, or with tomato and tuna for example.

So, if Tuesday is mince day, then I have at least a choice of six meals I can make, so none turn up too often.
