What's for lunch 1/15/13

Souvlaki Plate 

Marinated Chicken with Sweet Peppers & Onions in a Warm Pita
Tzatziki Sauce

Corn Cobbettes

 Fresh Fruit

The  chicken is a processed USDA commodity food from Tyson and described as "fully cooked boneless skinless chicken dark meat chicken fajita strips -smoke flavor added." Here are the ingredients: "Chicken dark meat, water, seasoning [salt, spices, dehydrated garlic, dehydrated onion, sugar, chili powder (chili pepper, cumin, oregano, salt, garlic powder), lemon juice powder (corn syrup solids, lemon juice, lemon oil), modified corn starch, natural mesquite smoke flavor (maltodextrin, natural smoke flavor), natural flavor (from partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oil)], modified food starch and sodium phosphates."  The "partially hydrogenated" oil is a source of trans fat.  Chicken has 7g of fat (2 of which are saturated) and 490 mg of sodium.  The tzatziki sauce made fresh. The corn is frozen and the fruit is fresh. This lunch item is a big hit. Would be even better without the Tyson Chicken.  

Have your kids take there sides from the salad bar. There are carrots, cucumbers, chickpeas, bell peppers and much more ! Soup and a half sandwich are available every day. I don't have a list of the soups or the ingredients.  Will get that asap. 

March is National Nutrition Month.  The nutrition committee will be sponsoring a poster contest to promote healthy eating. "Eat healthy, your way, everyday " is the theme for this year.  Details will follow. 

Enjoy the week !
