She caught our attention on Instagram with all of her lunch time meal ideas for her little one, Miss P. We have loved to see what she is making, they're just so great we had to share them with you!
But first of all we thought we would share Amy's thoughts on divided plates:
"Segmented plates are the best. I don’t know why but having the foods in there own little part is really appealing to Miss P. I think it makes the food more attractive and she enjoys looking at each little part. I always start with a “main part” of the lunch and then add some bits and pieces she can pick at. Finger food seems to work really well for lunch time. All of the things I serve at lunch she eats with her hands."
Naturally, we agree!
Ok now for some of her recipes, here are some of her lunch time favourites...
Sandwiches
Tuna, avocado and mayonnaise sandwiches, cherry tomatoes, blueberries and sultanas, organix naughts and crosses.
Peanut Butter sandwiches, sultanas and pear, kiddylicious organic quinoa chips, tomato, avocado and lentil salad.
Free range chicken, avocado and mayonnaise sandwiches, naughts and crosses and cheese, cucumber, strawberries.
Some other sandwich filling ideas are:

- Peanut butter and sugar free jam
- Vegemite and cheese
- Peanut butter and banana or thin apple slices

Frittatas
Frittatas are great as you can change up the vegetables you put in them and they hold their shape really well when cooled and cut up for small hands. The one pictured is broccoli and feta cheese. Zucchini slice also works well.
Rissoles
Rissoles are perfect for little hands. Make a big batch for and freeze extras. Add in grated vegetables such as carrot and zucchini for an extra goodness boost.
Pasta
Chicken and cherry tomato pesto pasta, peas and broccoli, organic soft popped corn, strawberries.
Cheesy broccoli and tomato pasta with crumbed chicken breast pieces, cheese, strawberries and avocado.
