Daniel LOVES pasta and sauce.
I just use an onion and garlic fried up together. Add minced meat (beef, turkey, and pork work well - if using lamb, I chuck in a handful of dried mint leaves)
add a tin of chopped tomatoes, a squirt of tomato purée and an oxo cube (depending on what meat you use)
I also add sweetcorn, peas, carrots and finely chopped spinach and let it simmer til the veg is cooked.
Mix it with some pasta and serve!
(although, I was getting fed up with Daniel always picking the veg out, so I tend to puree his sauce up a bit and then mix it with the pasta and he eats the LOT!!)

We're all about things that can be made in advance/quickly so we eat a lot of spaghetti bolognaise, chilli, frittata, soup, jacket potatoes, pasta with cheese sauce/tomato sauce, homemade pizzas. Weekends when we have longer we make other things like curry, sausages and roasted sweet potatoes with veg, stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon with veg, roast dinner. Evie doesn't care much for chicken but will eat sausages and mince happily and chicken if its a bit hidden like in a soup etc. We probably have loads of other stuff too but that's off the top of my head.

This was my reply to a similar thread:
Pasta with a tomato and hidden veg sauce (cook various veg with a tin of tomatoes and blend) can be cooked in batches and frozen or chilled.
Turkey mince meatballs and patties, serve with the above or as patties with some veggies finger food meal
Pack of Sausages, an onion or leek, carrot, butternut squash, swede, potato, parsnip, green and red split lentils, tinned toms, beef stock cube all cooked in the slow cooker or oven for a few hours, scrummy and makes a massive batch for freezing
Chicken thighs, onions, garlic, tinned mixed beans, whatever veg you have, chicken stock cube, tin of toms nice with mash and veg
Risotto cooked in the oven https://www.mydaddycooks.com/2009/11/22/106/
Beans and multi veg mash (white and sweet potato, swede, carrot etc) this is my LO fave!
Sweetcorn patties https://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/...tcorn-fritters I tweaked this to use spring onion and a little cheese as a different variety.
I like to have a big stash of freezer stuff so I know I've always got a quick meal to hand for LO so once a week or, so I do a big cook off and then freeze everything in these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-50-x-R...80330043686& My LO would never eat baby food and now won't touch any kind of convenience foods (fish fingers etc) not through lack of trying so this is what I do to make sure I don't spend hours cooking each day but knows she's eating well.
I would definitely recommend investing in a slow cooker if you don't already have one, I've found it invaluable cooking for a family while juggling working, childcare etc

One of my favourite kids cooking sites is www.weelicious.com
Lots of good ideas and she usually uses all fresh ingredients which is really important to me.
