I am always looking for new things to make Elliott for Breakfast, Lunch and Tea - although he eats pretty much what we eat at teatimes.
I feel I am always giving him the same day in day out, whether it be Rice Crispies one morning and toast the next, guaranteed it'll be right back to Rice Crispies the following morning. I seem to lack creativity in the kitchen!
It is exactly the same story at lunchtime, it's usually a saNdwich with a choice of spread (or whatever is in the fridge that day) some fruit and a yogurt. But I still feel this is very samey!
When Nairn's got in contact and offered us a couple of samples for Elliott to try. I felt like this was a great way to spice up his lunches!
We were sent 3 boxes of crackers and some fun biscuits.
Nairn's Oat Crackers (99p)(*) are a lighter, crispier alternative to oatcakes, but
contains all the same oaty goodness and are made to a wheat-free recipe.
Baked with sunflower seeds for extra crunch and flavour, they taste
delicious on their own or with your favourite sweet or savoury topping
for a lighter, but still sustaining snack. I think these were Elliott's favourites. He would happily munch on them as a snack with a light covering of butter! Oh, and he wouldn't/couldn't just have the one, it was always two - sometimes three!!
Along with the oatcakes and biscuits we were sent a little tin, which is fantastic for carrying round oatcakes without the fear of them being broken!
This has certainly spiced up Elliott's lunches, I must admit this is something I wouldn't have actually bought myself so I am so glad they sent us some to try as they are now a firm favourite in Elliott's books that's for sure!
If you are looking for new ideas for lunch or even just a snack grab yourself a box of Nairn's Oatcakes or Astro Biscuits - I am sure your little one will love them as much as mine!

I've just discovered oatcakes as a snack for Piglet and they seem to fill him up a lot more than rice cakes and the usual baby fare, which is fab. Might try these Astro bites next.
