If your dcs have hot dinners at school

[IsThatTrue]

What do you do for dinner?

So far we have:

Beans on toast
Egg on toast (scrambled or dry fried)
Dippy egg and soldiers
Wraps with chicken/ham/cheese and salad
'Pitta pockets' with the same fillings as wraps
Sometimes they have fish fingers/chicken goujons with oven chips/mash with steamed veg

I'm bored though, what else can I make that's quick and easy? Oh and dd really doesn't like rice or pasta which helps

Mine have another proper dinner (tonight it was gammon, potatoes, broccoli and parsley sauce, tomorrow it is beef casserole). But they are older (7,9 and 11) and often have after school activities eg swimming, hockey, football that work up an appetite. If I gave them soup or sandwiches there would be mutiny

Toad in the hole

Sweetcorn fritters

You could do a simple pasta in tomato sauce too, with some grated cheese.
Soup and a roll if they like soup - home made minestrone or chicken noodle are good.
A proper sausage in a hot dog bun with salad on the side?
Small jacket potato with beans or cheese and veg or salad?
Cheese omelette?

My dc have hot lunches but are always ravenous by the time they get home. Today they had a roast dinner for lunch in school and lasagne with jacket potato for tea. Dd is not sat eating crackers with butter for supper!
Also at dcs school they have the option of a cold lunch eg sandwich, wrap etc, so I cant guarantee that they have a cooked meal every day at school.

We do exactly the same thing with schhol lunch and teaat home. I cook much the same as you but also.......eggy bread, cheese on toast, baguette pizza....

Ooo eggy bread, cheese on toast both added to the list. Thanks everyone!

They have a dinner at home. My house isn't just fill of school aged children that can have school dinners. No way could I eat a decent meal and not give them it. We eat different times, if it's something quick like lamb chops, chicken breasts etc, they get cooked when needed, otherwise stuff is heated up when needed.

Difference is we will often have soup (thought this was healthy)

My ds (6) has school dinners, but he's always starving when he gets home, but then he eats a lot, so I give him a snack and they always get a cooked dinner in the evening regardless of what they ate at lunch time.
