My kids do not like mustard, so, I use ketchup instead, wrap in foil and keep in their lunchboxes
For the ones I didn’t take pics, I have used pictures from the public domain, Wikipedia, for illustrations.
spring rolls are very fast to fry , pack and put in a child’s lunch box
shallow frying spring rolls
Kebabs are fried the same way as sausages. For me, they taste great with that fresh aroma of mutton when fried or cooked in an oven
frankfurts, I use them or chicken franks for hot dogs, or just like a kind of snack in the lunchbox
shallow frying sausages for a hot dog, sometimes, cooking sausages in an oven is preferable
put cornflakes dry with powdered milk and granulated sugar. Their water bottles and teachers will help them mix during short break by 10 am
samosas, I fry them same way I fry spring rolls, I do more of spring rolls than samosa.
croissant, I dont have pics of croissant, my kids don’t like them so, I don’t bother. I have seen children who love croissant
pancakes, these too are fast to make in the morning. You can see how to make pancakes
sausage rolls. Gala can really save time if you have kids who love them. You don’t do nothing, just pick and throw in the lunch box with a banana and you are done
Sandwiches are another great time saver. Just crush sardines with your salad cream, if your kids prefer corned beef, good. just put what they want in between the slices of bread, press two slices together, place on a chopping board and cut into triangular or rectangular shapes. Wrap in foil and keep in the kid’s lunchbox.
When I’m not using them for hot dogs, I chop into two halves, fry and keep in their lunchboxes, remember to include a fruit that is easy to eat
I wish I knew how to make shawarma, my kids love it, being able to make it at home will save cost. Any tips and ideas for us?

Shawarma is made with nan bread(you can get @ any good supermarket),chopped cabbage,shredded beef,mayonaise,ketchup and pepper(optional)+ sausage(if u wish.u spread the mixture(above mentioned ingredients together)and spread on the nan bread(it comes in a round shape and wrap very well,then place in a toaster(at least that's what I use) note that the toaster won't be able to close.just for a few minutes and voila ur shawarma is ready.you could replace the beef with shredded chicken or even mix the two,its a matter of preference 😉
