[quote=Anonymous]2 kids - 3 and 6.  2 working parents with busy careers.  Mom gets home first and has to prepare dinner.  These are the things they currently will eat:

Main:
cheese tortellini (plain, no sauce)
meat balls
fish sticks
chicken nuggets
"flat sandwiches" (cheese quesadilla's with bacon or chicken in them)
chicken (I buy a rotisserie chicken on my way home once every week or two)

Sides:
whole wheat toast
green beans
peas
corn
corn muffins
apple slices
black olives

They like all kinds of meat, but I don't have time to cook meat.  They like cream cheese on crackers, but I do that as a lunch food on the weekends.

So - in essence - we are talking basic, basic food.  No fancy crock pot stuff in sauces.  No stir-fry type things.  Nothing like lasagne that can be made ahead.  My 3-year-old will eat spaghetti with a little tomato sauce/6-year-old will not.  6-year-old also, for whatever insane reason, doesn't like mac & cheese, although I can get her to eat Annie's shells & white cheddar sometimes.

I'm just looking for a couple of things to try to add into the mix.  Needless to say, I am sick to death of this routine.

Help?!?
