Usually DD1 has 1 of the following
*Sandwhich with ham/egg/tuna salad
*Wrap with the above
*Pitta with the above
*Pasta and tuna or Pasta salad
*Couscous salad.

She then has a few of the following each day
*Fruit and dried fruit
*Carrot sticks
*Cucumber sticks
*Yogurts
*Cheese biscuits
*Rice cakes
*Bread sticks

Next year when DD2 goes to school I will add cheese sticks or cubes too but DD1 doesn't like them. I'm also going to buy to thermos pots ready for winter so that they can have warm noodles and baby on occasion a soup.
