No Problem, Heres a great one thats kid friendly, good for picnics and at home, your 2 yr old can help - and its not expensive!!

Home made chicken nuggets - mix together egg and 1 tbsp milk. Crush some cornflakes. Cut chicken breast cut into strips and dip into egg mixture then into crushed cornflakes. place in ovenproof dish and cook 180oC 30 mins. Can be eaten hot or cold, v nice dipped in mayo. Can even make several batches, freeze before cooking, defrost as required and bake.

Thanks Livtoots, should have said kid friendly, however my 2 year old eats practically everything and anything except rice

MunchkinBaby - Did not know if you wanted kid friendly recipes... if so please let me know. Here are 2 recipes adults and some kids would like.

1. Spicy cous cous? use a veg or chicken stock cube, and add either a tspn of Chinese five spice and raisins or Cumin, Turmeric, Ginger and curry powder/chilli flakes. Cook as per instructions, allow to cool and pop into dish.

2. Salmon and pasta salad - Cook fresh salmon and flake, cook pasta. allow both to cool. Cut up spring onion, cucumber, celery mix together then add some sweetcorn. Mix in mayo then add salmon and pasta.

Thanks very much picnics are going to be so much more interesting!!

Samosa's, fresh vegetable, cheese and meat kebabs, pasta or bean salad, tortilla wraps, fritatta, tomato and basil tart.

There is a lovely recipe, a couple of chefs had suggested it, where you take a cottage loaf or cob loaf, cut off the top and hollow out the middle, the fill cavity with fresh or roasted vegetables, then weigh down overnight so all the olive oil and juices soak into the rest of the bread.

Ratatouille is nice cold, potato salad, pitta breads filled with whatever your imagination can muster.

Any help so far? If not give an idea of what you DO like and see if anyone can come up with a tasty twist for you.
