Looking for dinner dishes that are kid friendly?

Question

Most of our dinner dishes can be converted to vegetarian, as I haven't eaten meat in 16 years. My husband likes spicy and the kids like more plain dishes. This works well for chili, pasta's, salads, some casseroles etc.

I'm just looking for some *new* things to introduce my kids to.

Do you have any unique but still kid friendly and family friendly recipes that you love? I would love to hear them!

I put this same question in food and cooking, but I thought it couldn't hurt to put it in Parenting, too! Thanks!
