So I pretty much make rice and beans twice a week, and then probably eat microwaved leftovers for lunch another two days a week. My MO is pretty simple but variable: cumin, garlic, chili powder in olive oil, then add cooked beans, then add frozen green beans, salt if the beans aren't salted, then add cooked rice, then eat. Lots of possible variations: tomatoes in with the seasonings at the beginning, kale or any other green in there, another veg for the green beans (they are my wife's favorite so we always have them in the house), etc, etc. And you can vary up the spicing as you like--I also make a version with celery seed and thyme and sage instead, and it is delicious also.

My go-to lunch at the moment is lentils with "what's in the fridge," wherein I sautee vegetables in olive oil, most importantly onion or another allium, until carmelized, and then dump in cooked lentils, and then deglaze the hot pan with balsamic vinegar, and maybe add some cheese if I have it. I'm certain there's a way to regularize that into something for a family meal; cool it and serve it over salad greens, maybe?
