What's for lunch 12/6/13


 Better Than A Pizzeria
French Bread Pizza
Sautéed String Beans
w/ Garlic & Oil
Fresh Fruit


This is a white-flour pizza (not whole grain). The sauce is a Red Pack vitamin enhanced tomato sauce. The sodium at 140mg is much lower than we previously used.  Here are the ingredients: Tomato Concentrate (Water, Tomato Paste), Sugar, Soybean Oil, Potassium Chloride, Onion Powder, Salt, Citric Acid, Spice, Garlic Powder, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Black Pepper, Vitamin E (DL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate), Natural Flavor, Vitamin A (Retinol Palmitate).  The cheese is a USDA commodity part skim mozzarella.  Ingredients are cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes. The sodium is 240mg/oz - I think we use 2 ounces.

The string beans and fruit are fresh.  The Boar's head sandwich bar and salad bar are available. 

Do you ever run out of ideas for breakfast ?? I know I do.  I stumbled upon this recipe today and going to give it a go.  I know cookies for breakfast does not sound like something I would encourage but these have some nutritious ingredients.  You could substitute the chocolate chips with dried fruit or use GF dark chocolate chips.
