Salad Bar Lunch!
Fresh Grapes

The ziti is a white flour pasta with some protein by Barilla Plus. The ingredients are:  Semolina, Grain and Legume Flour, Blend (Lentils, Chickpeas, Egg Whites, Spelt, Barley, Flaxseed, Oat Fiber, Oats), Durum Flour, Niacin, Iron (Ferrous Sulfate), Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid.

The sauce is a Red Pack vitamin enhanced tomato sauce. The sodium at 140mg is much lower than we previously used.  Here are the ingredients: Tomato Concentrate (Water, Tomato Paste), Sugar, Soybean Oil, Potassium Chloride, Onion Powder, Salt, Citric Acid, Spice, Garlic Powder, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Black Pepper, Vitamin E (DL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate), Natural Flavor, Vitamin A (Retinol Palmitate).

Here's what they can probably expect from the salad:  The bar will have two kinds of cheese, chic peas, romaine lettuce, and raw vegetables among other things - including croutons. At Sea Cliff at least, the salad is put together by the cafeteria workers to order for the kids.  The dressings are Balsamic Vinegar, Ranch and Caesar.

Read about Balsamic Vinegar here: filtered water, organic soybean oil, organic balsamic vinegar, organic sugar, salt, organic white vinegar, organic minced garlic, organic garlic powder, organic onion powder, organic black pepper, organic red bell pepper granules, xantham gum.

This week's soup: Tomato and Rice


Plus, the alternate entree for January is a 1/2 wrap with the soup and sides. The wrap changes each day. Thursday are Roast Beef.  Wraps have romaine lettuce, white flour tortilla and  Boar's Head meats. (See below in case they are using the Friday schedule for the wraps.)

We are canceling the original Friday menu because the snow made the fresh food harder to get. It was:

BBQ Roast Chicken
Herb Baked Potato Wedges
Cucumber Rounds
Watermelon!

This is frozen chicken to which we add BBQ sauce.  The potato wedges are plain, frozen potatoes quarters - a USDA commodity food. We season and bake them.  Cucumber rounds and watermelon sounds like great, fresh options.
