Need cooking inspiration!

Hi all,
Not sure if I am posting in the right spot but we are about to finish eating through the freezer and I have no idea what to cook!
1.5 year old. Fairly good eater hates peppers so pepper based sauce not a good idea. Here is what we have been eating and would like all new, if possible ideas.
Chilli con carne
Tunapasta bake
Smoked salmon risotto
Fish pie
Home made fish fingers
Chicken and leek pie
Chicken soup
Home made chicken sausages
Sausage and bean casserole
Home made sausage rolls
Lamb stew
Moroccan lamb
Beef Tagine with sweet potato
Burgers

Any ideas?
We don't have a slow cooker. I've seen a few nice recipes for slow cookers but have no idea what I should put oven temperature at or for how long when it takes 7 hours in the slow cooker.
It's only the one child so I tend to cook loads of different things then we live off the freezer for awhile, I went a bit overboard last time so she has been eating the above for months now which is why I want all new things but can't for the life of me think of anything.
Thanks all

Hello Squiffy, DS (a bit younger than your DC) also enjoys:

toad in the hole, spicy lamb burgers, cottage/shepherds pie, cheese and potato pie, roast vegetables, any sort of soup with bread for dunking, potato farls and egg or beans.

It's hard keep coming up with interesting things for them, and I mostly try to give him whatever we are having, the only thing that hasn't gone down well so far is curry!
