spagettis always easy :)
Tacos. Make them with ground turkey or ground beef. Buy a packet of taco seasoning from the grocery store and just follow the directions. You can get soft and/or hard shells and whatever toppings your family likes. Depending on your knife skills you can get most of the toppings already chopped.
When it comes to any kind of work around the home and it involves children I believe you let the child choose the menu. If you are more comfortable with the protein source ask them what dishes they enjoy form it and then set about designing a child friendly menu. It will work. Or better yet let them create the recipe.
