    Well my Mum's been a Pesco-Vegetarian (fish eating veggie) for around 30 years and had to cater for two meat eaters. So, here's some ideas for you:

    Toad in the Hole (just split your batter over 2 tins, one with meat sausages, one with veggie)
    Cheese Souffle
    Mushroom Risotto (crumble some crispy bacon on top of the m/ers dinners)
    Thai Green Curry (start off with the sauce and some mange tout etc, near the end split the sauce between two pans & add cooked chicken chunks to one, king prawns to the other)
    Fish Pie
    Roast Dinners (for you veggies, do a nice omlette to go with the veg/potatos)
    Satay Skewers (whip up a quick sauce of sweet chilli/peanut butter and make some chicken skewers & some prawn skewers. Marinade in separate dishes. Serve with savoury rice)
    Mock Cornish Pasties (use frozen puff pastry sheets, cook up chopped onion/carrots/potatos/mushrooms - put 1/2 mix in a different pan. Add mince meat to one pan, soy mince to other. Cook up with some herbs or spices. Cut your puff pastry into squares, dollop of mixture in centre of each. Egg wash around edges, fold over & crimp pastry. Egg wash over top. Keep a couple of puff pastry scraps to put a little circle or leaf or something on the meat ones to identify them)
    Quiche (use frozen shortcrust if you're short on time, divide between 2 tins. The egg base of the Quiche is always the same, use whatever veggies/meat/cheese you have to hand!)

    I'd not bother with free range with any meat other than chicken - most cattle/sheep are free-ranging by default!
