These recipies gave us a good place to start and I still use some of them from time to time.

Saving Dinner!, Your Menu Planning Solution! is a similar meal plan service. There is a free sample week you could try out before joining.
You could also try out Dream Dinners or similar franchise:
Dinner Ideas - Healthy Meals - Meal Planning - Meal Preparation - Dream Dinners
They prep all the ingredients and you go to their store and assemble the meals (which allows you to adjust the spices to taste or leave out things your kids don't like), then freeze. When the kids come over, just pop it in the oven. It's more expensive than cooking on your own, but cheaper and healthier than eating out.
