BRUNCH FOR LUNCH
Cinnamon Challah French Toast
Applegate® Sunday Bacon
Sweet Potato Wedges
Apple Crisp
I have to say that I love the direction of the food in the MS cafeteria and completely appreciate all the women's efforts who work so hard in providing meals from scratch for our children. HOWEVER, I simply can not wrap by brain around this lunch. It is basically cake. I know the kids love it , but they do because of the amount of sugar. As I say a lot in this blog, HEAD STRAIGHT FOR THE SALAD BAR !!!
The syrup is basically HFCS. They are looking for an affordable maple syrup but do not have one yet - but they will be limiting the serving size this year in the meantime. Actual lunch from our schools above. This meal has a lot of sugar, simple carbohydrates -- no whole grains.
The turkey bacon is by Applegate. Here are the ingredients: Turkey (Turkey Used Never Administered Antibiotics, Growth Promotants or Animal By-products), Water, Sea Salt, Maple Sugar, Celery Juice, Onion Powder, Spices, Lactic Acid Starter Culture (not From Milk.) They promote it as nitrate-free but this NYT article indicates otherwise - and cites the company saying their products have the same level (naturally) of cancer-causing nitrates as conventional brands.
