Looking for family friendly recipes

I have pulled out a few from posts, but I would love some recipe ideas that I can feed everyone in the family, instead of always making something separate for myself. My boyfriend can afford to have healthier, lower calorie dinners too, and my daughter is thin, but is conscious about what she eats, the problem is, she's 12, which means she's not terribly into doing things like black beans for protein, etc. She likes things basic. Any suggestions?

    If she like Qudoba or Chipolte you can make a burrito bowl or a buritto for her and your boy friend. My family loves them. I make them healthy with fresh salsa, healthy chicken, black beans and a little brown or white rice. They are a hit with the family. I also made a meat ball with a lettus wrap that was a hit. Just spice up the meat ball and make a greek sauce. Yogurt, sour cream, cucumber. If they don't like the lettus wrap idea serve a little whole wheat pasta and maranara sauce with it. I also made a Chicken roll. Pound out your chicken put a layer of spinich and a low fat cheese, then roll it up and bake it. Good luck.
