School Meals v Packed Lunch

On Saturday kitchen Tanya Ramsey made ham & cheese muffins (I think) something like that might be good.

How about:-
Chichen nuggets
Mini Kievs
Sausage rolls
Mini burgers
Cheese strings
Cheese triangles
Muller rice
Cocktail sausges
Scones
Mini pancakes
Few slices of French stick.

Thanks everyone! I should have perhaps learned all this stuff years ago having had three kids!

All three are picky eaters, the youngest (age 2 1/2) went through a stage for 3 weeks this summer where all he would eat was yoghurt for breakfast, coleslaw and cheese for his lunch and scrambled eggs for his tea. It wasn;t until we went on holiday and ate out that he snapped out of it!

My girls like roasted chicken wings, which can be eaten cold, or chicken drumsticks.

One of our kids is like that. With 4 kids, I cant afford 4x school dinners so they all have packed lunches.

We still have problems where some days she just makes up a random excuse as to why she didn't eat it. Yesterday's was she didn't like Chicken Tikka but I know for a fact she does.

Another time it was because her sandwich wasn't cut in half. The next day OH cut it in half and it remained uneaten. When asked why, her reply was that she wanted a full sandwich! To say she got a roasting was an understatement!!!!! LOL

Something else that might work...pitta bread pizzas.

You can get a packet of 6 Tesco Value pitta breads for something 24p (can't remember exactly, but they're v. cheap!). Either blend a tin of tomatoes or use tomato puree for the topping, then chop ham, mushrooms, peppers, onion, pineapple, etc. to put on the top (maybe your son could help "decorate" the pizzas...might encourage him to eat them the next day if he "made" them). Sprinkle on some grated cheese and grill for a few mins.

They are really nice cold.
