Dinner ideas the whole family eats

Sick of cooking separate meals for toddler. What dinners do you make that everyone (parents + 2yo) eats?

Pasta bake - hidden veg in sauce, pasta, cheese top. Universal.
Bao buns / tacos - DIY format. Toddler eats components, parents add chilli.
Soup with bread and cheese on the side. Toddler dips.
Chicken thighs roasted with veg. Toddler eats what they like, the rest gets refused (sigh).
Stir fry but mild and let parents add sauce after.
Buddha bowl style - rice base, lots of toppings. Everyone picks their own combo.
