Chips

A staple mummy in a hurry meal in our house.
Add chopped toms and herbs to omelette to get in 1 of the daily potions

veg

GreatAuntieWurly · 14/09/2007 17:18

chips and beans or salad

unknownrebelbang · 14/09/2007 17:19

(psst - you spelt it correctly).

Trinityrhino · 14/09/2007 17:19

brocolli
or chips
or beans (but hes had them today hasn't he )

just go for the happy meal !!!

Brown bread and butter and peas or something else vegetable. Would put cheese, or ham or spinach in it.

I said bread as an omlette is so quick that i always gave it with a quick accompaniment!

Quootiepie · 14/09/2007 17:21

god not chips, i'll be hung drawn and quatered. Anyway, we don't have chips, I can't stand them. Oh! Maybe I'll do sweet potato wedges, but they take 45 mins

I'd do a wedge of crusty loaf.... & the buggers would be grateful!

Chips are bad for you, aren't they? Have I been missing something slaving away peeling potatoes? lol

Oven chips in sunflower oil, or homemade oven-baked wedges are not bad for you, I don't think.

Chips don't have to be the full deep-fryer thing.

Blandmum · 14/09/2007 17:28

salad and crusty bread in our house

filthymindedbolshevixen · 14/09/2007 17:28

how about potato wedges? (Good for you as skin kept on, packed full of vit c and fibre. Olive oil good for you. Bigger surface area means potato absorbs less fat. And bloody lovely, sprinkled with paprika, salt, pepper and served with, erm, mayo or sour cream. To make up for the fact they are healthier than chips )

filthymindedbolshevixen · 14/09/2007 17:28

And a huge, leafy, crunchy salad!

oxocube · 14/09/2007 17:30

chicken nuggets or cheese burger STOP FEELING GUILTY.

But seriously, for a toddler, cucumber sticks, baby toms, bbrown bread and butter?

Blu · 14/09/2007 17:40

QP.
Listen carefully.
Calm down and relax.
You are giving him an omlette because you are tired out.
17 month-old toddlers do not need complicated dinners. Give him omlette, butter some bread, give him some slices of apple. Or whatever fruit or veg you have in the house. Done.

filthymindedbolshevixen · 14/09/2007 17:41

oh lordy, I didn't read the OP properly - didn't realise it was for toddler
Yes yes, Blu is spot on!

fawkeoff · 14/09/2007 17:41

beans...my kids love rice with broccoli and sweetcorn in it

fireflyfairy2 · 14/09/2007 17:42

Oven chips are grand. So are potato chips coated in olive oil (a weeny bit) & cooked in the oven

I use fry light on my chips... they taste OK but probably not good enough for a little one

Blu · 14/09/2007 17:43

And even if you were not tired out it is not necessary to do 'cooking' to give a toddler their tea. An omlette with bread and butter is an excellent meal.

LaBoheme · 14/09/2007 17:43

sauted potatoes and brocoli xx

ComeOVeneer · 14/09/2007 17:49

Do a spanish omlette to get loads of different ingredients inot it and serve it with salad and crusty bread.

oxocube · 14/09/2007 17:55

Not omlette, but TBH some days when I get in from work bloody knackered, then have to clean up, cook, supervise homework, drive to various after school activities etc etc, I give my kids cheese on toast and fruit. Or wholemeal toast and marmite and fruit/ yoghurt. If they are still hungry they have a couple of weetabix for supper. Life is too short to make every meal a banquet

Blu · 14/09/2007 17:57

yes - QootiePie - add cheese on toast to your dinner repertoire for your DS.
Andd anything else on toast you can think of!

It's ok!

NoBiggy · 14/09/2007 17:57

Haven't read the thread, just Oxocube's contribution which I'm taking as permission to give my kids sarnies this evening - the little ingrates prefer it anyway

Here's to an early night for them and a DVD for me, hurrah!
