Lunches This Week! (W/C 09/03)
This weeks lunches are still coming mostly out of the freezer, when we sorted out the freezers we found more rolls, wraps, pitta breads and other assorted bread products than one family should ideally have and so I figured we really need to work on eating them all up.
We're a fan of steak and as we have slices in the freezer just waiting for us to eat them, we thought we should have a sub today as we're not sure our evening meal is going to be that substantial. We might hate Mussels, which would be a shame and also leave us hungry! Daddy and I will supplement ours with the hot sauce, some grilled mushrooms, some soft fried onions and cheese although I think the children will just go with the cheese and onion!
I know that the children have had this for lunch in the past, and I've not made it for a while, but Daddy hasn't had it before so I'm not sure how he'll react. I think that the textures work well together and it of course is a great way of eating an extra portion of vegetables without really realising it.
I know that it is a meatless Monday, but for me that only applies to our evening meal. I'm not sure why I think this, but I do know that it means that left over beef in corn wraps with a bit of salad will be making it's way to Top Ender, Big Boy and my bellies around 12 Noon.
I was going to make a chopped boiled egg sandwich, but decided instead that I should make something a bit more fun. It will either be an Angry Birds themed lunch, or maybe a ghost themed lunch or maybe something Dennis The Menace themed as it's his birthday today!
Top Ender and Big Boy like pineapple on pizza (the crazy fools) and so I thought I'd surprise them with a little Hawaiian Ham Sandwich for lunch today. Basically it's tomato, ham and pineapple in a sandwich but I'm sure I'll make it a little cuter with a few tricks from my cake decorating cupboard.
I want to make the rolls a little more special, so I'm going to defrost them on Wednesday, and bake them in the oven with grated cheese on top to give the roll a little more flavour. I'll mix grated cheddar with some pesto to make the filling and whilst mine will have Salad in it I'll let the children get away with just grated cucumber mixed into the cheese and pesto mixture.
It's Red Nose Day or Comic Relief Day, what ever it is called you'd have to be as daft as me to not guess that the lunch is going to be themed around this. The Children are allowed to wear red accessories to School today, so I thought that lunch should be in the same vein!
That's what we have for lunch this week. What about you? Anything special planned?
Saturday - Steak Subs
We're a fan of steak and as we have slices in the freezer just waiting for us to eat them, we thought we should have a sub today as we're not sure our evening meal is going to be that substantial.

Sunday - Grated Cheese and Carrot Sandwich
I know that the children have had this for lunch in the past, and I've not made it for a while, but Daddy hasn't had it before so I'm not sure how he'll react. I think that the textures work well together and it of course is a great way of eating an extra portion of vegetables without really realising it.
Monday - Left over Beef Wraps

Tuesday - Boiled Egg

Wednesday - Hawaiian Ham Sandwich

Thursday - Cheese Rolls

Friday - Top Ender's Friday Lunch And Big Boy's Too
It's Red Nose Day or Comic Relief Day, what ever it is called you'd have to be as daft as me to not guess that the lunch is going to be themed around this. The Children are allowed to wear red accessories to School today, so I thought that lunch should be in the same vein!
