chicken apple balls with pasta (AK recipe bit fiddly)
homemade fishfingers
chicken and leek lasagne
spag bol
chicken and veg couscous (dead easy)

oh and always followed by lots of fruit. he would eat fruit non stop if he could.

Spaghetti Bolognaise, with loads of veg.

Other stand-bys are: boiled egg mashed up with butter, plus granary toast & Marmite; pasta with cheese and broccoli; grapes, cubes of cheese, breadsticks, hummus, ham; home-made soup with chunks of bread in it; cheese or sardines on toast...

canneloni (bolognaise sauce inside)

Rice cake and philly
A couple of cherry toms

He is 9 months old and will only let you spoonfeed him cereal, and then only at breakfast time.

toasted white baguette, with cheese & tomatoes (dd3 doesnt like sandwhiches ) but will eat it individually. and half pack of crisps, Apple and banana slices on the side

Avocado - some in chunks, some smeared on rice cake. A bit of cheddar. And a banana yoghurt. And then another rice cake smeared with the detritus of the above. He's 9 months.

mac cheese with chopped ham, carrots and broccoli & a yoghurt.

AK stuffed jackets are good and v easy and her toasted tuna muffins are great.

We also get a big bag of salmon fillets (when on offer in tescos!) and serve with mashed sweet potato and whatever veg is around. You can microwave them in minutes so v quick and easy.

I do think AK recipies are good and it is worth having a look at her book. I agree that some recipes are a faff but you could just take ideas from them and de-faff to make you own easier version.

Tuna fishcakes in wholewheat pitta pockets with grated cucumber and spring onion inside, smothered in lemon mayo.

Plain yoghurt with frozen autumn berries.

Ginger biscuits and a glass of milk.

ham sandwich
strawberrries

left the bread!

Pasta with cheese and ham sauce, some rice cakes and corn snacks. Then a yoghurt and a mashed up banana with raspberries and blueberries, finished off with a biscotti. He's 11 months and a nightmare eater so I was dancing round the room as it's the best meal he's ever eaten!

Pitta pizzas- pitta covered in tom. sauce with ham, peppers and cheese. bake in the oven for 10 mins et voila!

Cheese and tomato on toast, apple, yogurt.

wholemeal ham sarnie with tomatoes, handful of olives, apple.

tuna and tomato pasta, salad, yoghurt, banana, an orange, some grapes and I've just cooked some popcorn for her. She's 25 months and eating me out of house and home.

half a crumpet, stick of carrot, bit of cucumber, few crisps, tomato, cheese dipper thing. Oh and he ate a mango about half an hour before so that probably counts!

He tends to always have pretty much the same thing tbh (with some variations)then a cooked tea later on

ds1 (3yo) had packed lunch at pre-school: smoked salmon pate sandwiches, orange juice, yoghurt.

Lentil soup, bread and cheese.

Then, weirdly, a mince pie, because they had them in the bakery. And now we're listening to an Xmas CD.

Oh I'm not sure my lunch would inspire you. I had:

• a pack of pod peas
• half a tub of cottage cheese with chives
• a pack of cashews
• a punnet of cherries.
