Recipe ideas for fussy eaters

Help please! I am struggling with ideas for dinner and getting bored with the standards.

No fish/seafood (allergies), no tomatoes (or very minimal), and we generally eat chicken and beef for meat.

Thanks for any ideas!

OUr favourites for very fussy family,

enchiladas
fry a finely chopped red onion and pepper in some oil until beginning to soften, add in turkey mince (approximately 100g per person) and cook until done (around 8-10minutes). Add some frozen peas or sweetcorn and cook for 2 minutes more. Spoon in 2 heaped tbsp red pesto and 1tbsp tomato puree. You can add 25g grated cheese if liked here (we don't as DH hates cheese). Spoon into tortillas and roll up. Slice in half and put into baking tin. Top with HM tomato sauce and/or grated cheese. Bake until golden on top at 180degrees (approx 10-15mins).

meatballs
finely chop 1 onion, grate a peeled apple, crush a clove of garlic, crumble a chicken stock cube and add to a bowl with 500g lean beef mince (or mixture of beef and pork mince) and 2 tbsp tomato puree. Use your fingers to combine ingredients and then roll into small balls. Coat with flour and fry in a large pan until all sides are brown and they are cooked through (approx 15mins). Serve with HM tomato sauce and pasta (in our house it's crusty bread as DH hates pasta).

salad bowls
bend a tortila around a wire sieve so it sits ontop like a basket. Put both in the oven at 180degrees until tortilla begins to brown. Remove from oven and cool. Fill with salad leaves, beans, chicken, coleslaw - any fillings you like. Fussy eaters love the look of this and forget about what the contents are!
