I am really bored of our menus....we as adults tend to follow a low (ish) carb philosophy so it's mainly protein and veg and although i get a bit bored generally we know what we are doing. I don't want to feed the kids the same as they are always starving at 5pm and DH not home until 7. Also I know they need carbs...but their week is basically:
Jacket potato and tuna / cheese / beans
Meze (humous, veg, pitta)
Homemade pizza (cheese, ham, olives etc)
Beans on Toast with cheese
Tuna pasta bake
Spag bol
Salmon & Spaghetti
Fish fingers and potatoes, peas
Chilli con carne (no spice) and rice
Sausages, potato, veg
That's about all I ever cook for them and I think it's so boring and not especially healthy? DC1 can't have lactose but we use lactose free cheese but generally avoid cream/butter etc, she also will not eat eggs in any form so can't do omelettes. I do do scrambled eggs / omelette for my other DC but usually at lunch when DC1 is not here.
Please give me some new ideas! In winter i also do more shepherds pie, roast chicken type stuff but feels a bit to wintery at the moment. Both my kids are quite adventurous so I know I should be experimenting more but just got into a rut!
Anything that parents and kids can eat (can sit on the side until DH gets in...) would also be good. We don't have a slow cooker.
Thanks
