What about a baked potato bar / Salad theme? You could have several types of salads (and giving the other girl easy instructions on how to put them together so that you dont have to do all the work) and then a make your own baked potato bar so that every one can dress their potato how they like it. Some can put the cheese on, others can leave it off. You can have several types of veggies grilled and steamed for the potatoes. Also, if you wanted to add some marinated grilled chicken in there for people who don't consider a vegetarian meal a meal. ;) You can marinate it in either balsamic or zesty Italian dressing to compliment the baked potato and salads.

and fish?

How about salmon with fennel? http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/salmon_with_fennel_baked_in_parchment/

If you want chicken than I recomend this: http://thejoyofeverydaycooking.com/honey-and-soy-sauce-marinated-chicken/

What about a taco or burrito bar?

Vegetarian quiche using the aforementioned veggies. Plus a fruit salad. It can be done ahead.

I'd do something that people can construct themselves, like fajitas! Have a pile of tortillas, a bowl of sautéed peppers for the picky one, some cooked chicken, cheese, etc - and some caramelised onions for those that want them!

I do like the idea of Fajitas...thanks..do you know a good recipe other than me buying a fajitas mix from the store!

I do them this way http://www.amuse-your-bouche.com/slow-cooker-veggie-fajitas
You could do the same recipe in a pan instead of a slow cooker if you prefer.

How is the weather where you are having your weekend? Is it too early to grill? Grilled pizzas are fun and each person can customize their pizza to whatever they like. Just have the dough divided up ahead of time and have all the prep work done before everyone starts picking out toppings.
