omelette, baked beans, pumpkin soup (messy but good smile ), leftovers from dinner (I make a big batch of risotto and freeze portions for bub lunch), homemade sausage rolls or pizzas or quiche.

This is great - I desperately need ideas too. I usually give DD baked beans with veg, yoghurt and fruit, and sandwiches. She must get so bored with it!

Scrambled eggs with toast. Pizza using pita/greek bread with some tomato, ham, mushroom.....and cheese put in oven till it melts. cut it up into managable size pieces. Cruskits with hommus or other dips and served with cheese sticks and fruit.

Ha! Recipe?! I don't do recipes, I like just throwing stuff in until it tastes good! lol

So here's a basic rundown:

If doing meat and/or onion, lightly cook in olive oil. Add rice and cook until translucent-ish. Add a splash of white wine, boiling water and chicken stock powder. Add any vegies you have diced, and some mixed herbs (I use pumpkin, carrot, peas and corn, cauliflower, brocolli, zuchini, spinach). If I'm not doing meat, I just chuck all the ingredients in together and simmer until cooked. Cook until rice is tender, add more boiling water if necessary, or drain excess off if you started with too much. When all is cooked, add some grated cheddar cheese. Optional extras at the end are sour cream if you want it creamier, or diced tomato to freshen it up.

Its easy and the kids love it! grin

My daughter loves corn fritters, You can add lots of protein and fibre is you blend or mash up a can of drained chickpeas and reduce your flour. They go over a treat and the are so yummy.
