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!

We mostly have sandwiches but we use different types of bread to keep it interesting :D

My son loves bagels so he has them nowadays. Or wraps, pittas, sometimes we have an indoor picnic so sausage rolls, scotch eggs, fruit etc :)

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 :laughing: :laughing:

I've started doing quesadillas for a change. tortillas with savoury fillings just dry fried for a couple of mins, my lot love them!
