as a single father, and NOT the greatest of cooks, i started a tradation with my son that in the week between xmas and new year's, every evening's supper was a different ethnic flavour: chinese, steak and potatos, lebanese, indian, super market roast chicken, thai, mexican, italian, polish, greek, usually planned before hand to have a combination of "we cook" and "ordered in" and "going out" - during the day we only nibbled on cereal and/or bits of junk food, always saving room for supper.

good way to get my son trying different foods and not always wanting just fast food burgers.

edited to add: technically this was xmas eve to new year's eve ...
