My boyfriend and I rented a ski condo for a week. Would love suggestions for easy, hearty breakfast and dinner ideas or even something like a menu plan for the week. We plan to shop all at once for the whole week. We are omnivores and try to eat seasonally.

So quick but tasty breakfasts that pack a pre-ski energy wallop are my suggestion - like steel cut oatmeal, with a selection of toppings - nuts, dried/fresh fruit/honey/maple syrup/brown sugar, etc.) I'd also bring a big bag of homemade granola, to have with sliced bananas and milk....with either cereal, add a soft/medium boiled egg, greek yogurt or even sliced ham/cheese with toast, to boost the protein. Good, tasty sustenance to get you through a morning of skiing - and only takes a few minutes of prep. time.
Now, dinner afterwards is a different story - cooking a leisurely meal, glass of wine in hand - is a great post-ski ritual. The only place I've ever actually made cheese fondue was on ski trips. Fun retro stuff, and you can pretend you're Claudine Longet in Val d'Isere. (And boy, did I just date myself ;-)
From this site, here was a very tasty recipe for eggs (I used purchased andouille sausage) http://www.food52.com/recipes/534_moroccan_merguez_ragout_with_poached_eggs
and potatoes

If you bought some nice salmon you could roast it the first or 2nd night. Leftovers could be salmon cakes or salmon hash, someone has put a salmon hash here on food52 but I haven't tried it.
