5 INGREDIENT PASTA
Boil some spaghetti, with some oil and salt. While that’s boiling, prepare your sauce. You can buy premade pasta sauce, put it into a pan with some butter, some spices (salt, paprika, black pepper) to give it some taste. After spaghetti is done boiling, drain it. Add some pasta in their lunch bowl, top with sauce and whatever protein that’s available. Like last night’s roast chicken or you can leave it as it is.

SAUSAGE ROLLS
This can be prepared over the weekend. All you need is puff pastry sheets and some sausages. Fry your sausages until they’re brown on the outside but not fully cooked. Once that is done wrap your sausage in a puff pastry sheet, until it’s covered. You can use 1 layer of puff pastry. Thereafter, wrap it in cling wrap and freeze. Once you need it, just brush on some milk or egg wash on pastry and put it in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden. Add some tomato or chilli sauce for kids in a container for taste.

“SPECIAL” SANDWICH
All you need is frozen potato chips, bread, cheese, chilli sauce, mayo and some onions. Fry up some frozen potato chips and let the oil drain. Butter your bread and add in chips, diced up onion, chilli sauce, mayo and finally cheese on top. Put your frying pan on the stove and butter the outer sides of the sandwich and place it in the pan, for it to get toasted. Quick, easy and simple.
