DD broke up 4 weeks ago after GCSEs :j DS finishes on Friday :j I like it when they're off; I can feed them good things all day, and make sure they get plenty of fruit and vegetables, and they have milk or a yoghurt smoothie for breakfastThey tend to get up late, so I cook a mid-morning brunch for them - something baked (muffins, Welsh cakes, pancakes) and/or something cooked (omelette, Frech toast, full breakfast, sausage or bacon sandwich) and someting fruits (fresh fruit or a smoothie).

Funnily enough I was thinking about lunches for the holidays today & trying to come up with things that were healthy (ish), tasty, filling & not too expensive. I hadn't thought of french toast so I'm glad you posted. I've come up with the usual sandwiches, soups, crusty bread & cheese, pate & toast, pancakes, beans/egg on toast and pasta & cheese but am glad to welcome to any other suggestions
All four of them tend to be up early - 7am at the latest - so eat breakfast, lunch & dinner plus snacks, especially DS1 & DS2. DH is on short time at the moment so I'm trying to keep an eye on the budget too :eek:
I also keep meaning to say I love your signature Penelope Penguin!0 -
