I feel the same way about my meals being boring. I'm in such a rut. I just ate a frozen Amy's meal. It was surprisingly ok. Some kind of noodles with dumplings. It was too salty do I kind of rinsed some of the sauce off. It was still tasty though.

I ate out today at a vegan restaurant called Hunglish. It was lovely, but a huge portion, it was vegan halloumi and roast veg wraps and lots of different salads.
About getting into a "food rut": I just did a Google search about what the different "food groups" were, and came across charts that had from 5 to 11 or more different "group" categories. Granted, some of these "groups" ranged from misleading to useless: one chart had all fruits and vegetables classified as providing "fiber" (which they generally do), but the "protein" categories only included either milk/eggs or meats/fish, while all grains were included in the "carbs" despite the fact that they are also significant sources of protein (and fiber, if they're whole-grain). Bacon was included in the "fat" group.
I'm not 100% sure... but I think these different "food group" schemes are meant to help people avoid patterns of eating that will leave them with some sort of dietary deficiency. Those of us who follow a vegan diet have eliminated at least two or more of those "groups", depending on what foods are considered a "group" in a given chart. I don't obsess over it, but every now and then, I take a minute to think about whether I'm getting into a rut.

A portion of the leftover salt and pepper tofu. I will make this again. It was very tasty.
Still p'ssed that they just ignored the My Plate which was far better, and understandable, then the stupid upside down pyramid
I'd love a more detailed description of that plate! Is the hallomi in the wrap? Is that buckwheat in the green salad?I ate out today at a vegan restaurant called Hunglish. It was lovely, but a huge portion, it was vegan halloumi and roast veg wraps and lots of different salads.
