My kids' favourite tea is hot cheese wraps. Pitta bread filled with cheddar and microwaved for 45secs. Serve cut into fingers or rolled up and stabbed with a fork plus as much raw veg/fruit as they fancy.
As it's not at all messy this one can be eaten in front of the tv for a treat (don't shoot me).

Eggy bread soldiers - dip a slice of bread into a beaten egg and fry off on both sides in little bit of olive oil. Cut into fingers and serve on it's own or with ketchup or another dip.

We do a version of that Buckets that we call cheesy pockets - split pitta widthways and fill with some cheese / ham / tomato then put in toaster - very yummy!
Also cheese omelette.
Pancakes, made with whatever fruit you have -blueberries, raisins, grated apple.
Tinned spaghetti and toast.
Cheese, crackers, cucumber, carrot, grapes, apple.
That's some of our failsafe items for DS 18mths & DD aged 5.

Scotch pancakes (with whatever is around, raisins, berries, bananas, never tried apple, might have a go tomorrow!)
Plain popcorn done in the microwave, takes 2 minutes and no effort or washing up!
Mashed banana on toast, in fact anything on toast, cream cheese, peanut butter, anything proteiny
Scrambled eggs
I also always have fresh pasta in the freezer so I can just boil the kettle and have a small handful cooked in 2 minutes with some pesto as she is guaranteed to eat it.
Couscous with raisins, but make sure itis overcooked as it sticks then
Pack of those instant noodle things cooked without sauce in microwave and then mixed with scrambled egg, peas and sweetcorn
