Especially if it’s low effort and can be prepped the night before or made in a slow cooker. I’m bored of everything we have and kids are prime picky eater age but they aren’t too bad.

Slow Cooker Beef Stew (BBC food) with mash

Prawn pasta - prawns in butter with garlic, chilli and parsley and lots of Parmesan with a little of the pasta water

Chicken Fajitas with rice, salsa, sour cream, guacamole and cheese - fussy eaters can put what they want in the wraps

Sausage casserole

Depends what night it is, sometimes:

Chicken - roast, stir fried, curries
Fish
Sausage - sometimes casserole
Bolognaise - with rice, pasta, jacket
Jacket potatoes - tuna mayo, cheese, beans

Or, if the kids have activities on a particular night, it's something quick like scrambled egg on toast, or beans on toast.

Anything from the taming twins website! Absolute lifesaver and I’d say a 95% success rate with all the stuff I’ve tried off there.

Mine Love a picky tea so I empty the fridge onto the table pretty much and they get what they fancy. Generally includes cheese, fruit, salads and probably a sausage roll or scotch egg plus some fresh bread. For a cooked meal pasta with a tomato sauce and cheese is an easy one or a toastie with tomato soup.

Low effort stuff is usually prawns in chilli, garlic and coriander butter with pitta breads and salad. Sweet potato wedges.

Low effort fish stew is usually a load of onion, garlic, tomatoes, whatever bits of veg I've got lying about. Spices like smoked paprika, veg stock. When everything is soft I add the fish and serve with crusty bread.

Shakshuka is easy.

Pasta with garlic butter and seafood, any veg bits that I've got left that'll work.

Tonight we just had cod, homemade chips, peas and lightly fried cherry tomatoes.

Wraps/tacos with a chili made the day before.

Salmon with new potatoes, asparagus, and a quick creamy sauce.

Fish in a bag; just a layer of rocket/spinach, olives, cherry tomatoes, fish, herbs. Season and wrap up, throw in the oven. We have that with crusty bread or new potatoes.

Popular easy meals here are:

Jacket potatoes with beans and cheese or tuna mayo

Chorizo and garlic fried in olive oil and cooked pasta and peas stirred through.

Scampi, oven chips and veg

Any variation of eggs/beans/mushrooms/tomatoes on toast

Vegetable risotto in the instant pot (takes 15 mins and no stirring)

Fajitas with vegetarian filling of chickpeas and beans is very quick to make.

Toasties with bowls of soup.

Tex mex lasagne made with wraps instead of pasta and refried beans to replace the mince filling
