Applegate Hotdog w/ Whole Wheat Bun
Long Island Garlicky-Smashed Potatoes
Salad Bar Veggie Sides
Strawberry-Yogurt Smoothie (Fat-Free Yogurt)
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.
The potatoes should be fresh and local.
The smoothie will be made with either plain yogurt to which we add
honey or vanilla yogurt (no honey) if we can't get plain plus 1% milk
and frozen strawberries.
