Lunch box for Tuesday


I'm Using a recipe posted earlier on here for the lunch, so a shorter post today - however I'm also posting the recipe for Scotch Broth for our friend Greg who is a big fan!

Snack - Banana (in a banana box, nothing worse than squidgy banana, although this may be a personal thing) plus brown rice cakes or mixed grain cakes with nut butter - try almond, cashew or pecan for a change from peanut (available at all the naturwinkels here in the dam). White rice cakes have a medium/high GI causing peaks and troughs in blood glucose levels - not nice whilst at school.

Lunch - Mini Quiches with cherry tomatoes and sticks of red and yellow pepper, small pot of broken down sushi nori (the japanese store in the gelderlanplein store small snack packs of Korean Nori which my kids love and is really tasty) pot of chopped apple/pear.

  1. Hi Kim, we are not allowed any nuts at our school; do almonds class as nuts or seeds? i.e. do kids with a nut allergy react to them?
    Loving the recipes by the way :) Leigh

  2. Hi Leigh
    Almonds come under tree nuts, however most tree nut allergies are linked to peanuts. An almond allergy is possible but it is the mildest of all nut allergies. To play it safe its best to stick to seeds and avoid nuts - you do get nice sesame paste. Shame as the nut pastes are great and so nutritious.
    Glad your loving them, and that i have an audience :) x
