Need recipes!!

I'm on stage 4 of my food plan.  Now I can eat food of any texture but I'm still restricted to a very small list of food.  Here's what I can have:

Meats:
turkey
chicken
fish
shellfish

Dairy:
cottage cheese
yogurt (carbmasters or greek only)
sour cream
low fat cheese
eggs

Veggies - must be cooked:
asparagus
beets (don't like)
carrots
green beans
spinach
turnip greens
mushrooms (not veg but a side)
tomatoes (don't like)

Goal is 400-600 calories a day.  I try for 200 or less per meal.  I'm supposed to get at least 20 grams of protein at each meal.  It's suggested that I get 3 oz of a meat then veggies if there's room.  No eating between meals and only 3 meals. 

I can have sf jello and Popsicles though I'm burned out on both.  I got some sf jello pudding to help get my meds down.  I only eat a couple tablespoons of it a day so I don't count it for my daily calorie intake. 

I've been successful so far but I'm getting bored.  I've eaten ALOT of tuna and salmon.  I made turkey chili that was good.  I just picked the beans out.  

So any ideas to mix things up?  When I get to 3 months I can add a bunch more veggies including salads.  Until then, this is what I've got.

Thanks!!
