All right Ladies and Germs, let's see what you guys come up with.
Need some dinner for 4 ideas.
10 grilled chicken thighs
6 each grilled sweet and hot sausage
whole eggplant
a couple zuchinis
3 Jersey tomatoes
green and red bell peppers
onions
I had the chicken and sausage defrosted in the fridge for a coupla days, so I had to cook them before they went bad.

Eggplant and Tomato sauce over ziti/penne/spaghetti
(You can make the sauce on the stove top or in a CP - add in some chopped zukes, if you like). Saute onions & garlic in evoo, add in chopped EP (& zukes), tomatoes, basil, oregano, s&p - cover & cook down. Add in about 1/4 c o' red wine toward end of cooking time. Serve over pasta.
This one always makes me drool. Serve over pasta w crusty bread & salad.

Eggplant Parmesan w spaghetti or on on french/Italian bread.
Cold pasta salad - chopped zukes, tomatoes, 'n onions, oil & vinegar, s&p - combine w rotini or farfalle/butterflies - chill a few in the fridge to marinate. Serve with your chilled thighs -- or shred your thighs and add to the cold pasta salad.
Roll your thighs in teriyaki sauce, heat through. Chop up your peppers n' onions & add to cooked white rice. (Add in chunks of pineapple, if you like.) - Or stir-fry your veggies & serve over rice or a chinese noodle.
Sausage - grill your peppers, onions & tomatoes. Add chopped garlic, if you like. Serve w sausage over pasta.
Zucchini boats - stuffed with sausage.
ETA: Here's an idea for stuffed peppers (w zukes, tomatoes, herbs, & toasted pine nuts) I posted recently. (I often add raisins to the mix & season the ground beef w a pinch of cinnamon, and a dab of tomato paste.):

You could do a Paella. Omit the shrimp, add the chicken & sausage, and add (canned - in a pinch) clams:
