You may wish to try the homemade sushi making thing - I can't make it the traditional way after many tries, but this gadget you buy is basically two half pipes which you fill with rice and then filling and then clamp them together and squeeze out a perfect rice roll whcih you wrap with the seaweed, works like a charm!

mini pizzas using either english muffins or a segment of a french stick as a base and chorizo sausage, salami, shaved ham and cheese as toppings (and a swirl of bbq sauce) .

corn fritters .

ham salad sandwiches .

sausages (with tomato relish and mustard) in crusty french bread .

mouse traps .

fresh fruit . usually two or three pieces .

home made baking . brownies . date and walnut loaf . muffins . muesli slice .

crackers with marmite or nutella .

mini bagels with jam and cream cheese .

Lol my family it was dad that made the lunches (with input from kids), dad and kids who did the baking.
How did mum do it! Well, she is a terrible baker (can cook meals fine, just can't bake, has not patience for it), us kids loved to bake, and dad was ok when he put his mind to it.
Dad always took a packed lunch, and is a real morning person, so he just made multiple lunches. Mum kept finding when she made lunch us kids would usually bring half it home, so she stopped (would help with sandwich making etc if we were rushed).

In saying that, mum made sure we got up in time, had clean (and ironed) uniform to wear, had everything we needed at school that day, knew where we were going in the arvo, got us out the door on time etc etc
So, if dad was away, we just had to make our own lunches. If mum was away, the whole world collapsed!

Started young with the kids - Miss 21 was keen to "help" when her younger brothers were at Playcentre so I made the sandwiches and she added the rest.I've always loved baking and so do my kids - they are 21, 18 and 15 so more than capable of either making or buying their own baking.Hubby making cookies was a bit of a one-off to be honest but they were yummy.
