I find it really difficult to feed my boys nut free for the same reasons, other dietary restrictions mean that nuts are a valuable source of protein, fats and other micro-nutrients which aren't addressed by many suggestions. the school says "sandwich and fruit" but doesn't suggest what a sandwich for a vegetarian child could be. Lunches would be boring and not eaten because of the lack of variety. I personally feel that if the school wants to have food policies they should be feeding the children. I was told that any nutritional deficiencies caused by not having nuts or eggs in food should be addressed outside of school hours (regardless of whether there are ANY allergic children at the school the policy remains in force) yet they insist on having "healthy eating policies". Grrr. but anyway I would love some helpful nut and egg free and filling suggestions for vegetarian children that can be prepared in advance. Pasta, rice and noodle salads don't get eaten unfortunately so I am running out of food that will last them the distance!
