Nothing special. The 9 days is the time when I don't patchke with fancy meals. If I run out of ideas we can always eat sandwiches.

Can also do "breakfast" foods like eggs, french toast, etc.
I get kind of sick of tomato sauce and cheese in baked ziti, lasagna, pizza, and like some variety Smile

I try to steer clear of all the pasta cheese after a couple of dinners and lunches its all too much.
eggplant is great, I slice it legnthwise and bread it. some days I will fill it with spinach and garlic stuffing and pour a sweet sauce on top. I serve this with garlic bread, cream of mushroom and fresh salad.
other meals I will do eggplant parm. or slice the eggplant legnthwise smear with olive oil and spices and grill I fill each roll up with fresh veggies and feta cheese. this is a great side for grilled salmon.

Eggs can be made pareve. IMO, not as good, but doable...put in a lot of veggies to add more to it.
