-homemade pizza
-lasagna, mac and cheese, baked ziti...
-chicken wraps (can put out everything in little bowls on the table and everyone makes their own dep. on taste)
-hamburgers
-spaghetti and meatballs

not sure how picky your grand children are but my kids are 2 and 4.5 they eat grilled chicken quarters or cuttlets cornflake breaded chicken legs , they eat roast chicken broiled duck sauce almost anyway you make it as long as I cut it up for them. soups the trick here is knaidlach or croutons chicken or meatball soups are a favorite and requested by my 4.5 yr old burger and meatballs or meat sauce work from ground meat. We are not big dairy people but they eat falafel balls and find it fun to fill pita with various cut veggies I do sep. bowls of veg and pita with either shwarma or falafel served with fries or rice and roasted veggies.
what does your family normally eat

Cutlets
noodles
baked ziti
salad
steamed vegetables....

actually a lot of foods go for all ages! Why do you have to make three seperate meals?
