    Mine are all really into 'salad' food at the moment - eating things like cucumber, carrot and pepper sticks, ham or chicken slices, cheese cubes etc sometimes i find they just need a week or two away from bread! x

    Mostly sandwiches - but you're so right if I get fed up making them they must be fed up eating them! We also have;
    Pitta breads,
    Potato salad,
    Tuna pasta,
    Baked potato,
    Scrambled egg and toast.

    Couscous made with stock is a really quick meal which doesn't require much of your attention. I serve it with chicken drumsticks or other cooked meats/quorn, frozen peas/sweetcorn. Noodles are also really quick. Mine absolutely love boiled egg and soldiers at the minute. Lunches are harder as you can prepare tea whilst they nap, so I am always on the lookout for low maintainence lunches!

    Mine like wraps with a selection of fillings set out, so they can make their own.

    They often ask if they can have 'roll your own' at lunch time
