Summer Menu Ideas

[Chatterbox Childcare]

I have revamping my menu from winter to summer and am after inspiration. I am looking for 25 meals!


Does anyone have any ideas they could share please?

i sometimes swap the veggies for salad, or we have a cold pasta/couscous/rice dish, (that we could have had hot!) or cold meat/fish.

but i usually end up cooking the same meals!

sorry dont have a menu, it isnt that planned in our setting!

We do have a list of types of food that we may feed, but it depends a lot on what is available, what we are eating as a family, and how much time we have!

I would go with basic grilled meats/fishes accompanied by different salads

green salads (lots of variations)
couscous with roast veg
rice and sweetcorn/peas
potato salad


stirfries are nice in the summer and you can do lots of variations of that.

Thanks everyone

I try to have a 5 week month in case the 5th week falls. If I have the menu planned then I know what I am buying.

Sometimes we feed 14 children a day so it is hard to do it adhoc.
