[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in a rut and need some quick easy ideas. I’ll post mine to get it started. I’m sick to death of most of these because they are all in heavy rotation.

Lentil soup and bread
Roasted veggie pesto pasta
Frittata/eggs of some sort
Fish tacos
Palak paneer
Sandwiches/veggie burgers
Fried rice and dumplings

You don't say what your kids won't eat, but instead of lentil soup you could make a veggie (or meat) chili. 
Broccoli & anchovy/garlic pasta (add broccoli florets to pasta in final 3 minutes of cooking). Sauce is EVOO, or butter, some garlic, anchovies (optional), chili flakes. Mix. 
Eggs can get boring. Make a fried egg burger/English muffin. Serve with steamed veg.
Make bean & cheese enchiladas or quesadillas instead of tacos. 
Chana masala instead of palak paneer.
Stir fries instead of fried rice. 
English muffin/French bread pizzas (I used tomato paste and whatever cheese I have on hand. Just spread paste on halved muffins, top with cheese, and grill. Add whatever else you have to hand).
IKEA meatballs with a can of chopped tomatoes and some seasoning. Serve with spaghetti or other pasta.
