Mum, I had this at school today!, A sentence repeated in many homes in Spain where children have lunch at school.

Planning dinners that complement the school menu can seem like a difficult feat. Here’s an easy trick for you to pull it off.

Let’s see an example;

 

MONDAY


TUESDAY

LUNCH   


Rice with seafood       

Green beans with potatoes
 
Chicken with chips

Battered hake with salad
 
Tangerine

Custard

 

On Monday night, protein should not come from poultry or fish. So you can choose eggs, beef or rabbit. To complete the dish, you need some carbohydrates that are different from rice and potato, so you can offer them pasta. And finally, to give your kids a perfect dinner, you just need some vegetables. In this example, it should be raw vegetables, so a small salad, a few cherry tomatoes or a mild gazpacho could be the perfect choice.

Therefore, a good dinner option for Monday or Tuesday could be:


MONDAY DINNER    

Spirals with fresh diced tomato,
grated carrot and olives
 
Mushroom omelette
 

Natural yoghurt

TUESDAY DINNER


Three-coloured pasta salad with seeds
 
Chicken burger with cherry tomatoes
 

Pear
