Do you have the cookbook? There is a recipe in there for meatballs and vegetable sauce. My son and I made it together last night and we eat it with whole wheat spaghetti. Okay, he doesn't eat a lot of the squash but the sauce is healthy, the meatballs are mild and he likes the pasta. In fact, he will be eating leftover spaghetti tonight while I fix a seafood recipe for DH and I tonight.
Taco Bake is another recipe that he likes. And it is a way to get him to eat cooked mushrooms. He also likes one of the pork chop recipes and the steak kabob recipe. I make sure I use at least one vegetable that he will eat and then maybe serve an additional one that he doesn't care for.
I also make mini pizzas using tortillas. I use Whole wheat tortilla for mine and regular tortillas for him. I use Ragu Pizza sauce which is low sugar with reduced fat cheese. I top his with turkey bacon or canadian bacon and then add mushrooms and onions to mine.
What about chili? My son loves that. Or take a can of refried beans and some reduced fat cheese and make tacos. Add lettuce and tomatoes if your kids will eat them.
I also have a Ham, zucchini, pasta recipe that I have altered to make South Beach. It uses penne and I have to go to Whole Foods to find whole wheat penne but everyone loves it. It uses evaporated skim milk to make a cream sauce. Let me know if you are interested and I will post it. It doesn't take long to fix.
