It’s baaack! Deli Turkey Submarine on Wheat has returned! Wow, that is a lot of meat!!
When all else fails, serve Chicken Nuggets!
Mmmm…broccoli!
Milk count today: 13 white, 5 chocolate…getting better!!
Today they were serving Lasagna or Toasted Cheese Sandwich. There seemed to be a definite revolt against the lasagna today….lots of kids were not eating it….it’s actually pretty good, comparable to a Lean Cuisine.
Pile of unwanted lasagna….
Excess toasted cheese and pears.
Cheesy goodness!
Ahhh…fresh fruit!
Student clutching a bag of Takis…
Milk count for today: 6 white, 11 chocolate
Chalupa or Bean & Cheese Burrito?……Chalupa wins! Although in my classroom, the choice was overwhelmingly for the burrito!
This cheese just does not melt!!
“My burrito broke!”
Real and frozen!
Surplus food….
Milk count today: 5 white, 11 chocolate
Well…we haven’t seen the Cheese Ravioli in a while….but it was back today! I understand it is not a very popular item! But I did see 2 kids who had it today!
Oh, that dreaded breaded Chicken Patty Sandwich….
Make lunch happy!
Almost forgot about the calzone today…..
Baked Apples!
Two types of pears!!
I am impressed that they offered 2 kinds of fresh fruit today….looks like a Bartlett and a Bosc Pear?!
Random lunch from home….
Milk count today: 6 white, 12 chocolate
PB & J and corn on the cob!! Yum! My favorite today was the student who took the “crust” off the Uncrustable!! Awesome!
Yum…raw broccoli with peanut butter and jelly!
Meatball on a spork!
Milk count today: 5 white, 12 chocolate ….But the GREAT news for today is: Strawberry milk is GONE!! Our lunch staff said NO to strawberry milk!! The district says the kids need a choice between two kinds of milk, and so it is lowfat white and chocolate.
Ugh….I think I would feel different about these nuggets if they were “real” chicken strips, but they aren’t and they just don’t look very appetizing!! The kids seem to like them, it was the choice over pizza, but it seems like we just had both of these items last week…it is supposed to alternate every other week but I think it gets offered more than what is on the menu!
Pizza and Nuggets….
Choices…
Drinking spilled milk.
Our milk count today was 7 white milk, 10 chocolate milk.
Breaded Fish Nuggets with Green Beans or Macaroni au Gratin…..I guess if you make anything into a “nugget”, kids will eat it….or not. The popular choice for today was the Macaroni au Gratin, aka Mac and Cheese!
Crunchy celery
Lot’s of orange!
That darn strawberry milk was back…and it was quite popular today 😦
Big,supplemental orange drink brought from home.
More fruit and vegetable choices today: oranges, pears, celery, green beans, and what is called “strawberry cup”…
Milk count: 6 white, 12 chocolate.
Chicken Nuggets took over for Vegetarian Sweet and Sour with Brown Rice today. Pepperoni Pizza was present, as usual.
Wow…two chocolate cups!
New packaging on the pizza….
Good ol’ Chocolate Launch…..Frozen Chocolate Treat….
First thing eaten, of course!!
1 vote for the Bean and Cheese Burrito, 16 votes for Nachos (Deluxe Meat and Cheese). It’s a crowd pleaser…..
Chips and crayons…..
Fresh Fruit!!
Last but not least, the Bean and Cheese Burrito….
Today’s Milk Count:
6 votes for white milk, 11 votes for chocolate milk. The good news is is that we haven’t seen strawberry milk lately….maybe it won’t be back!
Hamburger (Charbroiled Beef Patty) and Tater Tots (Crispy Baked Potato Rounds) were the popular choice for today! Only one student chose the Toasted Cheese Sandwich, which by the way, made an appearance just last Friday, but it seems like yesterday!
Could this be why it wasn’t so popular……
Maybe we need a break from the Toasted Cheese!
Who doesn’t love a burger with tots?!
Love the ketchup!
This student took a bite of apple and then put it on the burger along with the tots.
Yum!

Today’s milk count: 6 white, 11 chocolate….we need to do better!
