Applegate Hotdog
Whole Wheat Bun
Homemade Red Smashed Potatoes
Cucumbers with Dip
Warm Apple Crisp
The hot dogs are from Applegate Farms - so they are far better than many
hot dogs but are hot dogs nonetheless. The ingredients are just:
beef, water, sea salt, less than 2% of the following: celery
juice, sodium lactate (from beets), lactic acid starter
culture (not from milk), onion powder, spices, garlic powder,
paprika. They have 6g of fat(2.5g saturated) and 380 mg
of sodium. They are dairy-, casein- and gluten-free. They
promote it as nitrate-free but this NYT article indicates the nitrate issue is tricky - and cites the company saying their bacon has the same level (naturally) of cancer-causing nitrates as conventional brands. You may also not want your kids growing up thinking hot dogs are a good lunch given the potential link between processed meats and cancer. The bun is whole wheat.
I do not know how they make the potatoes.
Cucumbers are fresh with an organic, full-fat ranch dressing as the dip. Apple crisp is a dessert.
I could try the new alternate entree for June:
Hummus with Toasted Pita Strips
Mozzarella Stick
Black Olives
Pears in Fruit Juice
Cheese is part-skim.. Pears are canned. Pita is not whole grain.
