What can I feed my 3yo? Please help!

Our cooker (oven and hob) stopped working earlier today. It's going to be a week at least until we can get a new one ordered and fitted.

In the meantime, I'm struggling to think of meals I can do for our 3yo DS. He's a fussy eater and normally we do a lot of roasts, baked fish, boiled vegetables, noodles, plain pasta etc. DH and I can survive on microwave meals until the new cooker comes but DS doesn't like the kids ones (I've tried him on them in the past and he finds them too mushy).

Tonight's dinner was microwave cheesy mash with carrot sticks.

Plan for tomorrow is cheese sandwiches with sweetcorn cooked in the microwave for lunch and then cold chicken and ready-made pasta salad for dinner.

Struggling a bit for inspiration. I'd happily feed him takeaway food but he won't touch most of it (with a McDs Happy Meal, for instance, he only eats the fries).

Any ideas welcome! What can I do with a microwave, toaster and kettle that a fussy 3yo will eat?

Don you have any farm shops/delis/cafes/pubs that are doing takeaway main meals.

Portable BBQ

Given the warm weather I'd mainly stick to cold food until you have the new cooker - sandwiches, wraps, crackers, picnicky stuff, etc. Easier and healthy too Smile

You could buy warm roast chicken or pork from the Tesco deli counter, with salad.
My DD used to love tinned macaroni cheese, ravioli and spaghetti bolognese.

You can get microwave pies. Think pukka ones. I get them for an elderly relative.
