This thread is sooo validating.
My kids all love warm challah Friday night, fresh bread from bakery and kugel straight from oven and fries.
Regular suppers, can't make them all happy. At least I know in advance which child is gonna sulk or yell at me lol
I only make one supper ( unless I do something different for my diet). Kids who don't like supper can eat bread. I'm so glad I don't cook different suppers for different kids

Meatballs and spaghetti

Lasagna- except I make a pan of gross smelling parve lasagna as well for allergy people, so not sure if that’s considered one dinner?

Chicken lo mein. Serve all components separately for the kids, and then mixed together for older kids and adults

Breaded chicken cutlets with either potato salad or rice.

Pasta and cheese. But DH won't eat it at the moment because he's dieting. So the one night a week we have it he takes leftovers or something else.

Tonight I made salmon and had some ready made starches. DH and I and one kid had that, 3 kids had leftover Meatballs, and one kid just had toast (recovering from a stomach bug but honestly not sure what she would have eaten otherwise)

Tomorrow night's plan is scrambled eggs (those who want cheese can add it), tuna for those who don't want eggs, or sunny side up eggs for the kids that want to make it in the Betty Crocker. Some of my kids who previously weren't fond of eggs are now happy to eat ones that come from our personal chickens, so that's exciting.

Almost none.
Schnitzel and sesame chicken when my fleishaphobic 6 year old gives in and eats.

Otherwise we have one that can't eat dairy, one that thinks most foods are not edible, and a whole lot of complaints on most suppers I make from at least one kid per night.

Considering that I've been too exhausted recently to make multiple suppers I've started just leaving out some bread, crackers, peanut butter, and cereal for anyone that doesn't want that nights suppers (from the few suppers I make over and over again that at least more than one will eat). Punch

(Edited to add that I legit just found a glob of peanut butter smushed on the wall moments after I type this lol...)

I make noodle soup by cooking up leftover chicken soup from shabbos and adding ramen noodles. (no spices) I know it's not the healthiest, but at least there's chicken soup there too!

For those who said chicken lo mein, what do you do to the chicken? Always come out like rubber.

Why won’t you answer your own question? It’s not exactly a personal question.

Let the chicken marinate in cornstarch and soy sauce
I fry it first take it out of pan add veggies
Then add it back at the end of cooking
