I can easily substitute fish or egg instead of the chicken in the curry.

Chicken in Panang curry with snow peas, carrots, shallots, baby corn, green peppers, thai eggplant,thai basil + jasmin rice + three mushroom salad (used like a side) with carrots, cucumber, green cilantro, green chilli, peanut sauce, lime.

Spinach-cheese ravioli with tomato basil sauce + sauteed veggie side with mushrooms, garlic, onions, olives, basil, zucchini, bell pepper, onions, tomato, pine nuts.

Do you make own curry or jar? If own, recipe you like that makes it fam favorite?

Enchiladas (I vary the fillings depending on mood)

Rice / protein bowls - this is nice because the kids can assemble the ingredients themselves and you can change up the flavor. Sometimes we do Asian, sometimes more middle eastern, and sometimes more Tex mex. I cut up the ingredients and then kids serve themselves.

Pasta with pesto - again, vary the ingredients and if there’s protein / type of protein. Also good for leftovers I can send to school next day. Costco has a very good pesto sauce. In Summer I make my own pesto.

I'm also surprised by it. In my family we never ate tacos. Literally, never.

It was a frequent meal in my house when I was growing up, but I grew up in California.

For my kids I'm more likely to quesadillas but tacos are in the rotation too, just not as often as my mom did. I make them with corn tortillas, which we always have on hand, not the boxes of taco shells

Homemade pizza

Spaghetti and meatballs

Smitten Kitchen street cart chicken

And that's about it for meals everyone will eat. My youngest is still of the "boxed Mac and cheese only" persuasion.

Enchiladas - we have a few variations but primary spinach & bean with red sauce or roast chicken (usually a shredded rotisserie chicken from Costco) with tomatillo-sour cream sauce.

Tacos - ground beef, ground turkey, chicken fajita (grilled chicken), or salsa chicken (instant pot)

Teriyaki chicken and veggies with either ramen or udon noodles

Breakfast for dinner - eggs, bacon, hash browns
