I do see a pattern; all cheap, pre-made, comfort foods. (Which, of course, used to be my pattern!)

Meals like mac 'n' cheese, mashed potatoes, pasta pasta pasta. Meat is always diluted with added grains (like meatloaf or meatballs) or breaded & fried (like chicken fingers and fried chicken.) Vegetables are rare unless they are starchy ones like potatoes and peas.

BREAD AT EVERY MEAL.
