What's for lunch 11/28/12

FROM THE RANCH TO YOU
Antibiotic /Hormone-free
(Local NY State beef)
Beef Burger/Cheeseburger
Whole Grain Bun
Oven-baked potato wedges
Carrot slaw -Fresh fruit
GF if taken without the bun 


After much work, discussion and research, our district has discontinued the use of most USDA commodity beef for a variety of health reasons and contracted with a New York State farm to provide beef raised without antibiotics and hormones. It is more expensive and there is less beef on the menu as a result but it is a huge improvement in the quality of our lunches. So, enjoy your hamburger on a whole grain bun. 

The potato wedges are from McCain. The ingredients are: Sweet Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Contains One Or More Of The Following Oils: Canola, Soybean, Cottonseed, Sunflower, Corn), Corn Starch - Modified.  Corn Starch, Dehydrated  Potatoes, Leavening (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Natural Flavor (Contains Wheat), Rice Flour, Salt, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate Added To Maintain Natural Color, Sugar, Tapioca Dextrin, Xanthan Gum. 

The carrots and fruit are fresh.  

Our district's own Letizia Barbetta ( and co chair of the nutrition committee at he MS) recently wrote this "Food Allergy Fairy Tale" which looks terrific. Read more on Amazon's website.
