Hi,
I'm looking for new ideas for tea and lunch for my kids please?

My 7 kids range from 15 down to 20 months. And every week/ day I seem to have the same problem where I'm doing the Asda order and can't think of anything that they will like for lunches or teas. So I'm in the rut of buying them the same things every week which of course they get fed up of

It would be really helpful if you could share what sort of things you get and feed your kids or that your kids enjoy for lunches and teas please?
Thanks jo Smile

We often have:

Vegetable risotto
Cheese & tomato pasta bake with garlic bread
Paneer & Spinach curry (can also use as a filling in pitta bread/jacket potato topping)
Stir fried veg & noodles
Homemade pizzas on wraps
Nachos with chilli
Jacket potatoes with beans & cheese

Lunches are usually toasted pitta with houmous & tzatziki, or pitta & curry. Or maybe a jacket potato with ham and pickle. I often make extra risotto/pasta/potatoes for tea and then use them for a lunch later in the week.

We sometimes just have freezer pizzas or burger & chips, fishfingers etc

My 5yo is really fussy so will generally have the pasta & beans but very little else! My toddlers eat most of the meals.

I’m veggie hence we have a lot of vegetarian food.
