Mrs Mungo Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Pasting this from a previous thread: Here are some ideas that I have listed here before, just copying and pasting. Breakfasts: Breakfast burritos baked oatmeal omelets crepes (they are mostly egg) boiled eggs and fruit migas huevos rancheros yogurt parfaits with homemade granola, greek yogurt (it's higher in protein and lower in sugar than regular) and fruit waffles with peanut or almond butter biscuits, sausage, scrambled eggs breakfast pizza various egg-based casseroles french toast with bacon Breakfast frittatas Quiche Lunches: Most of these are easy and nutritious and many are fairly low in cost. tostones, black beans and rice (I've posted my tostone and black bean recipes here before) tortellini with parmesan and veggies Baked Potatoes Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese sandwiches Hummus, Pita Bread and tomato/cucumber/onion/black olive relish stuff Baked Potato Soup mini quiches (these are super easy to make and freeze to re-heat at lunch time!) bean burritos with avocados and chips with salsa bean and polenta pies (put a slice of polenta in a ramekin and a red and black bean/onion mix inside topped with a little cheese and bake) homemade mini pizzas and pineapple funny-face egg salad sandwiches (open face sandwiches served with carrot sticks, slices of pepper, sliced olives, anything that the kids can use to make faces) homemade waffles with bacon (the kids LOVE this for lunch! but I do it rarely) flautas (make and freeze ahead) with cheese cubes and 7 layer dip ham and cheese bagels corn chowder wontons (yes, they are a lot of work for lunch but I love them, they are delicious and sometimes I want them!) and rice chili/cornbread pie pasta salad broccoli and cheese soup with rolls aloha mini-cheeseburgers-I mix crushed pineapple with the meat and make small patties, cook them on the griddle and add a slice of sharp cheddar to the top then serve on hawaiian sweet rolls. I like baked sweet potato fries on the side. veggies, bread cubes and cheese fondue 15 bean soup and cornbread Snacks: Homemade Pizza and pears PB&J sandwich with yogurt Naan, olives and hummus Tortilla chips with layer dip mini quiches and applesauce Apples and PB with yogurt s'mores and bananas Graham crackers with nutella homemade vanilla pudding applesauce and cheese PB and banana pinwheels Nachos and a smoothie PB&J sandwich with yogurt Nutella wontons with fried bananas Devilled eggs and veggies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
