AN I have an ongoing issue with the quality of our school's lunches, I've even been in and seen them prepared and eaten them grey fish fingers with strings (as dd calls them) They assure me it is all quality local produce, my backside it is!
They are not allowed lunches but when she goes on trips I make (although not as hard as everyday inspiration)
Greek salad with feta, cue, toms and peppers
Couscous salad - I don't boil mine just add boiling water and cover jug, takes minutes. I add chopped salad veggies to this with chunks of cold chicken breast
Tortilla wraps spread with philly cheese, slice of ham and filled with chopped salad
guacamole (non spicy homemade, have to lots of lemon juice to stop it browning) with carrots, pitta, peppers and cue to dip in.
Nicoise style salad (no anchovies) with boild egg and tuna
Lots of chopped fruit with a fork - I often use tinned chopped pinapple in juice as low labour!
Currently lots of local strawbs - come complete with 'handle'.
As for treats we make flapjacks as these are filling and travel well or a banana and date loaf ( in the bread machine)
A frozen Yeo yoghurt tube, keeps it all cool and is a bit like ice cream if it hasn't defrosted - yum!
Dreid cranberries or blueberries
Innocent smoothie (although now not allowed to take drinks that can't be sealed up)
water
I also always add a pretty paper napkin and and individually wrapped wipe thingy.
