    Yep - lifesaver in this house. She loves vegemite and cheese toasties and they are easy plus we use grainy lovely bread so she is getting her vitamins and minerals from that too. Sometimes she will have ham, avocado, tuna or chicken too.
    I think they are absolutely fine hun. Isabelle eats stacks of fruit and veg each day so I think a sandwich is part of a balanced diet!
    Don't feel guilty - sandwich away!

    Sandwiches aren't too bad as long as it's wholemeal bread, but remember that bread is high in salt. One of my DSs loves sandwiches, so most days he has one, but he has to choose between toast for brekkie or sandwich for lunch so he doesn't have too much bread in a day. Mostly he chooses the sandwich. But on day care days I mostly send him with left overs as that's what most of the other kids eat and he doesn't mind it so much there. DS2 doesn't really like sandwiches so he only gets them when I don't have anything else!
