Just wondering, because I need inspiration!
DD's school policy is that everyone must have school dinner. The school has a healthy eating policy so chips are never on the menu and fruit/yoghurt is the pudding most days.
She's 4, nearly 5 and is not particularly reliable at remembering what she's eaten, but her reception teacher says she makes sure they all get a helping of veg with whatever they choose - from the odd snippet I get, it seems she has pasta with sauce, roast dinner when it's on, or pizza most days.
She's quite happy to have a sandwich when she gets home, but as she only likes ham or cheese, I'd like to put a bit more variety into her tea. I give her cucumber, tomatoes and carrot sticks too, but there's very little else she wants - although I'm wondering if I'm right to let her have what she wants, iyswim?
Also, as she gets older and stays up later, I'd like us to all have our tea together, but DH and I tend to have a cooked meal in the evening...(this may be my own personal weirdness but I feel giving her two dinners a day is just... well, wrong! I don't want to overfeed her, she's not fat but she is solid...). At weekends we all eat together and she'll have a sandwich for lunch and a hot dinner with us.
So I'd be very interested to hear what others in this situation do?

If your child has school dinners, what do you give them for tea?
