Try to avoid too much of the dehydrated foods designed specifically for backpacking (Mountain House dinners always did funny things to my insides) unless you are going for more than 8 days. You can find plenty of decent foods at the regular grocery store that dont use up too much weight.
I like to use Lipton Noodles n Sauce, Rice n Sauce as a base for suppers. Add canned chicken or tuna if you like, the weight of one can wont kill you. Pasta is great, provides good carbs for hiking.
Grits or Oatmeal if you like a hot breakfast, otherwise try breakfast bars and I love trail mix (aka GORP).
Cheese and peanut butter on crackers usually suffice for lunch, but Lipton Cup of Soup is nice on a cold day if you want to fire up the stove.
Main thing to remember, keep it simple. One pot meals are the best and minimize the need for carrying lots of pots.
