Happy Monday!
I'm hoping to start regularly blogging about school lunch and share some of the details that often go unnoticed or in general people have questions about. I'm planning on sharing some of my most used resources so that as a community we can support each other. If you're interested in general about the school lunch program check this article out, its about a 4 minute read.

Recently it occurred to me that there aren't a lot of common places to find resources that pertain to school nutrition. I thought it would be potentially helpfu

Purple cabbage, have you tried it? It’s a great way to add color to your plate. We roared some last night with oil and some coconut amino acids. Roasting the cabbage softened it, but still kept a little crunch.
What are some fun ways you prepare cabbage?

School lunch can be for foodies too! A fun idea that my co-worker designed for school lunch is the bahn mi hot dog!
My goal is to share what fun ideas schools can provide a variety of foods for kids. Often people have a picture of what school lunch looks like. It’s changed a lot, and I hope to share more ideas here soon!

For those of you looking for ideas in the winter, have you looked into frozen produce?
*
We often defrost berries, mango and peaches just enough to where they are soft but still firm. They are a great treat for the kids and a great way to help get some fruit in while there isn’t much in season.
*
Apples are currently in season and a great way to also encourage fruit consumption. Offering them sliced can also increase variety for kids and more accessible for kids. Kids that are missing teeth are excited about options!

What winter fruits do you offer kids?!

Voting has started!
Those of you apart of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, in the SNS DPG, I would be honored for your vote this week!
I’ve been in school nutrition for the past 4.5 years and love it! I’m passionate about feeding kids, providing excellent customer service, quality recipes, menus that meet the guidelines and make parents happy. I think kitchen atmospheres truly affect sales and am always working on ways to make kitchens a better working environment and fun atmosphere for kids.
A little about my education - I just finished my RD internship with Iowa state university and will be taking my RDN test this spring. I’ve had my SNS since 2016. I’m planning on finishing my masters in 2020.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

My goal is to help people see school lunch in a different way. Maybe share an idea or a thought that might change the way you view just a little about school lunch.
Some schools when they’ve been able to make all meals free have seen this exact statement. The stigma is taken away and kids just eat.
