Sliced tomatoes is a common side with breakfast.
Sunny side eggs over grits, bacon, sliced 'maters...yummy way to start the day.
Also good for omelettes...a little Feta cheese, onions, diced tomato = Greek.
Can add diced tomato to any mix of scrambled eggs...

Don't limit your choices just to lunch/dinner.
 
Spinach with my Feta is Greek to me.

Which reminds me, spinach melange tonight:

However many cans of spinach or whatever greens, liquid well drained off.

Fry up a bunch of bacon or other source of pork fat (I keep a jar of drippings)

Or make up stock from a big ham bone & trimmings ( buy in bulk, cut up into 1lb freezer ziplocs )

Fry up onions, black pepper maybe bit of red cayenne whatever, then add whatever bits of meat (optional), turn the heat down before anything gets too dark, last minute add a mess of chopped garlic, stir fry on low get everything combined nice and pungent,

Add the spinach, one can at a time let the water steam off & away, try to get it browned a little but without burning the onion/ garlic bits.

I usually do at least a gallon at a time, divvy up into ziplocs to freeze.

Million different ways to use, as a side, added to almost anything or the main event with a starch. Add hot sauce to taste. Or cheese, or both.

Pasta, add to a jar of cheesy alfredo sauce, or red sauce whatever.

Wrapped up in flatbread or pita, inside puff pastry or an omelette feta = greek

Into any stew or soup.

Part of a veggie burger mix

Bit of sour cream, nice dip

Over potato of any sort, or couscous,

or rice, steamed or with an egg as dirty flied lice,

canned corn or carrots for nice colors and vitamins
 
Tonight is a scrambled leftover thing - about half a can of diced tomatoes, a cup of leftover black beans with onions and garlic, and eggs fried up together and topped with cheese.

And sriracha. Can't forget the sriracha.

Grilled cheese sandwiches and some homemade lentil soup.

Fruit for desert.
 
Tonight was ham and veggie soup. Was going to make biscuits. Made dumplings instead. That'll be breakfast tomorrow, too.

Pork tenderloin -- I can get these for about $2.50 a pound on sale sometimes, broccoli, and a package of stovetop stuffing.

I can very easily get 3 or 4 meals out of the usual 1.5 to 2 pound(ish) tenderloins, usually more than that. Love those things.
