I'm in bed sick so this is as best as I remember ...
This is dinner menu. Lunch is things like hot dogs and chicken nuggets and mac and cheese and toast loaded with peanut butter and apple sauce, and even cereal.
I shall preface this by saying what I tell my kids, "sorry people, mom has a day job."
My method here was to just brainstorm what these people eat without complaining. We have a blended family so there are nights the kids aren't home. But overall I don't hear many complaints. And tacos every week was a request. Ask your kids. There are probably foods they would eat every week. Thursays are my hubby's pay day so I run errands.
At this point my menu is pretty solid. The only meal some people don't like is the stir fry. If they don't like it they can eat a pb&j. The older kids never opt for the sandwhich so don't be afraid your kids will start a bad habit. We are a family of 7 so if someone opts out of dinner that's more for the rest of us!
Monday
Chicken stir fry with yakisoba noodles you find in the produce section of winco or fred meyer and a bag of stir fry veggies from produce section too. I marinate the chicken in teriyaki from Costco.
Tuesday
Tacos- I make the meat and heat up canned beans (true confessions here, people), then set out soft tortillas and store bought hard shells (sometimes I fry them myself) and lettuce, cheese, and olives. I serve corn or asparagus but don't keep track of who eats it.
