    going to have to help out a bit with what they do both like, rather than not. lets start with the meat, chicken, lamb, minced beef, sausages?
    How would they be with a veggie based dish?
    Girl seems to not like pasta. neither fish.

    I was thinking something like sweet and sour chicken, but want a bit more info.

    What about a pasta bake? pack of sausages browned then chopped up, jar of sauce (whatever they will both eat) pour onto cooked pasta and sprinkle some cheese on top (mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan) stick in the oven to heat through, serve x

    Do what I did with my lot last night....... jacket poatoes.

    I then offered several types of fillings : sweetcorn, ham, , grated cheese, salame, chilli (left over from the other night). They loved it. Very simple and everyone was happy. I also made some meatballs which everyone loved as they were a little spicy and a huge salad for me. Amazingly they even had some of the salad too...... but suspect they just wanted the cucumber and tomatoes that they both like (they picked out the salad leaves!) But anyway you could just offer jacket potatoes and whatever they like as fillings or are available. (BTW I made my spuds in the microwave and finished off in oven so simple)

    Livalot If you are a woman xxx If a man cheers mate, I never even thought about baked potatoes though I know they both like them lots and the funny thing is as long as I grate some cheddar and make some tuna mayo as fillings they would both be quite happy. Of course now I will have to make dinner and pretend it was all my own ideas haha :j

    Ah the joys of teenagers! You sound like you have your work cut out for you!

    How about any of these....

    *Chicken or Pork stir fry and noodles (or have a go at making your own Chinese food)
    * Mexican tacos or fajitas are good because you can make small dishes of everything (chicken strips, peppers, mince, cheese, etc) and everyone can help themselves and make their own.
    *lamb steaks with a mint sauce and cheesy mash and veg (for some reason I remember loving this as a kid)
    *Potato bake with a side of veggies

    Just a few ideas tons of different recipes for the above online, hope it helps.

    Good luck!
