Kids sick of sandwiches? Here's 5 alternatives

My kids are sick of sandwiches and I am not paying out for expensive alternatives - here's 5 cheap favorites of kids aged 3-11

1:  Pizza bread - make an amount of pizza dough, stretch it out and add all the usual things - cut it up and it usually does 2-3 days x 3 kids.  My kids particularly love it simple - ham, pineapple and cheese

2:  cheese and bacon rolls - either using bread or pizza dough - makes between 9-12 little rolls - sprinkle with cheese and bacon or ham - this rarely lasts longer than 2 days as the kids gobble them up!

3:  pikelets - here's my recipe 2 eggs, 1 cup of milk mixed together, add 1/2 cup plain flour and 1/2 cup wholemeal flour - mix up and cook - max 2 days - the sooner they ar eaten the better otherwise they tend to get a bit hard - perhaps a little baking powder might lighten them up - I will try and get back to you on that

4:  scrolls - again - stretch out the trusty pizza dough - lather it with whatever, roll it up like one big sausage, let it rise again, and cut it into 2.5 cm scrolls, lay them flat and let them rise and cook.  Inside I have used:

• vegemite or promote and cheese,
• nutella,
• garlic with tomato paste and cheese and you can also add a little ham

5:  wraps - fill with what ever they like, roll it up and cut like sushi, or dont cut it - its up to you .  Will it fall to pieces if you cut it up too much??  That's all there is to it.  Things that are good as wraps are mountain bread, burrito wraps, anything flat really, but my personal favorite is rolling out a piece of bread and filling it with cheese, ham, mayo, lettuce and cutting it up like sushi - and that is probably a better sandwhich than they would usully eat!

Happy lunch time :)
