DDs have hot dinners about once a week, and packed lunch the rest of the time. They don't seem to mind the routine but I'd like to give them some different things, at the moment they have;
DD1
Bread and butter (or crackers of I'm out of bread)
small box of grapes/strawberries
Yogurt
Cereal bar (one of the Organix ones)
Half a pack of crisps
DD2
Bread and butter (sometimes with lettuce, or crackers)
An apple
Cheesestring
Houmus (to dip stuff in)
Yogurt
Half a pack of crisps
They have some different bits as one doesn't like cereal bars and the other doesn't like houmus etc. They both like tuna sandwiches which I give them sometimes.
I think it's a pretty balanced lunch but it seems to boring! I asked them this morning if they can think of anything else they'd like to have and all they could come up with was cakes/chocolate etc which isn't going to happen. They're going to have a nose in their friend's lunches today and see if there's anything exciting there I can copy.
Any thoughts? Also as I inevitably forget to make stuff the night before it needs to be fairly easy to organise in the morning...
Thanks.
