Easy kid friendly meat-free meals?

We're a family of happy carnivores but over the last few months DD1 (11) has developed an aversion to meat. She's not fully veggie so cheese etc is fine. She'll eat fish fingers and certain types of sausages but that's it.

However, I'm totally stuck for what to cook. I'm happy for our family meals to be largely veggie and to do her an alternative on the days we have meat but I'm struggling to find things she'll eat. I've googled but finding that a lot of so called kids' recipes still have avocado and other stuff she won't touch. I need help with something both girls will recognise and be vaguely familiar with but will suit both of them.

Does that make any sense? TIA.

“Which holds it’s texture best in a saucy curry, tofu or quorn?”
I would say tofu.

But I don’t use either-why would you in a world where chick peas exist?Grin

Lentil cottage pie.

Green lentils, leeks, carrots, peas (any veg really), simmered in veg gravy.

Topped with any combination of mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cauliflower cheese.

It’s lovely!

We put cauliflower, chickpeas, green peas and waxy potato in curries.
