Hmm quick and easy meals? I did spaghetti last night, one of my quickest meals to make - melt butter in a pan, fry some garlic, a green chilli or two, a squirt of lime, handful of chopped coriander, and a shot of tequilia 
I then stir through chopped crab, and add drained spaghetti. It is YUM!
I do pizzas a fair bit, and roast off a huge tray of mediterranean veg to top them with. I make the bases in advance so it's quick come tea time, load up and chuck in.
Do they like stir frys? Good quick way of getting veg into them.
Gnocchi as an alternative to pasta? I do a kind of bake with peppers, tomato, coriander, chilli, onions, coriander, grated cheese on top.
You can add veg to the rice in your rice dishes. I do a lovely mexican rice with peas, tiny diced carrots, and tomatoes - lot lower in calories and carbs than rice on it's own, and tastes good too! I stick peppers in just about everything - they are even nice in toad in the hole If I do meatballs and pasta, I add onions, peppers, mushrooms.
Pork and beans in the slow cooker this recipe is heavenly, and very much a chuck it in and leave it. I serve it with jacket potatoes. (And it is nicer with a stock cube/pot rather than the beer)
Grilled halloumi skewers, or chicken skewers, wraps or naans, and a big salad, or something like quinoa or couscous with veg.
I alternate really with faffy meals - making loads of curries or a posh meal with stuff that is quick to make - burgers, or hot dogs. (M&S have started stocking brioche rolls for those) I make double portions of things like stew or curry so it means the effort covers two days.
