Simple dinner menus

This may seem like a strange topic for zen habits! but I do believe that sharing a family meal together is a very important ritual. It incorporates healthfulness, love, organizaton, order, and a more civilized way of life.

I have been trying to come up with some easy dinner menus. We are mostly vegetarian, and I'm trying to create menus using foods that we generally have on hand, are inexpensive, child friendly, and easy to prepare. I'd love to have more suggestions! Here is what I have come up with so far (My husband and I usually have salad with meals, but I do have an 8yo...)
