Some good ideas there. My kids love pikelets, pancakes and waffles and I love it that you can make them super healthy. Also the roast veggie chips, roast chick peas, – corn kernels, and – broad beans are great lunchbox fillers, glad my kids love them.

Love the pikelets in the lunch box – but how do they get past the PC food police? Mine never did. Nor did anything else I cooked for the kids. So they had a huge breakfast, a bought yoghurt [not my home made one] for lunch and topped up once they got home.
