School snack ideas please - NO OVEN!!
« on: October 07, 2011, 02:24:12 am »
Please help.  I've gone completely blank.  What can I make TOTALLY in the thermy...  my oven has died,  :o  won't be fixed for a few days....  and school goes back on Monday.

We do follow a low chemical diet,  but please give me your ideas and I can make the necessary adjustments.  And...  of course.... no nuts for school.

Thanks!!!! Thanks!  Thanks!!!!

You can steam muffins and patty cakes in your varoma?? Do they eat rice pudding, yogurt, custard?? Chicken nuggets? Popcorn Brunch Bars ;)

What about the iron booster balls or apricot nibbles that are found in the kids and children's sections.  Havent made them myself, but they don't require baking and are natural, so maybe alright for your special diet.

Do you have an electric frypan? You could try baking biscuits in that or pikelets with sultanas. If not how about pieces of dried fruit for recess. A little bag of sultanas, apple, peaches etc. Whatever you can get.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

or beg of a neighbour to use their oven for an hour or so! Do you have a hooded BBQ? You can use them just like an oven as well. I often use mine in the summer  :)

Oh my goodness.... this is harder than I thought.  I don't notice what we don't eat until it's waved under my nose. 

Thank you so much for your ideas...  none of which I can use.  They're all AWESOME AND GREAT ideas though.  THANK YOU!!! :-\  Corn (popcorn), dried fruits...  both out.  And no I don't have an electric frypan or a bbq: hooded or otherwise. 

I might take my Thermy and head off to my Mum's on the weekend.  Her house is small and not child-proof so I was trying to avoid that.  Ha ha.

try some boiled eggs, steamed buns, dip with vege sticks, carrot/apple/cheese salad, steamed scrolls (yummy - just like baked recipe only steamed), custard cups.

Sushi or rice paper rolls are great for school and will make the other kids envious  :)  Are there restrictions in those kinds of foods?  Very healthy full of salad.
