You all want in on a little TRUTH BOMB: Today I received a phone call from a coworker asking me to go check out a school because lunch was NASTY they were serving shredded cheese (instead of queso) with pork nachos and it was dry and again NASTY. I said lets check the recipe before I go talk to them, sure enough it called for shredded cheese, not our beloved queso. I still went to the school and had Nachos topped with Pork Carnitas, shredded cheese, mexican rice, black beans, shredded lettuce, jalapenos, and red onions! It was every bit of MOIST & DELICIOUS, and totally blew my mind how different our experience was despite going down the exact SAME serving line! #honestyisthebestpolicy #schoollunch #truthbomb #chefsmovetoschools #spartanburg #district6 #realschoolfood #buildyourown #nachos #mexican

I kind of feel like Monday morning snuck up on me this week! I was hustling to get my crew up and out the door on time, all while packing lunches and drinking my ☕️. Thank goodness for Sunday food prep and healthy pantry staples, like @paleovalley’ NEW turkey sticks 🦃 . These turkey sticks are so delicious that I have to hide our stash from my family (they will plow through them before I know it!). A great alternative for people looking to skip on red meat and made with super simple clean ingredients, these turkey sticks are one of my favorite proteins to keep on hand for mornings like today 🙌🏻. Want to try out the awesome turkey sticks too? @paleovalley is giving the TNN community an awesome 30% OFF at checkout when you use the code NURTURE from NOW until May 14th! Visit @paleovalley to order! . Curious what I threw into the lunch boxes with the @paleovalley turkey sticks? Alice and I will be nomming on kale salad (that I made last night and that she loves 💚). Berries, plantain chips and a few cashews! Thanks to my prep and pantry stash, lunch packing took me 7 minutes flat! (Yes, I timed myself!) #paleovalley #paleovalleypartner . . . #glutenfree #healthyfamily #nutrition #jerf #wholefood #instafood #realfood #healthykid #ig_motherhood #cleaneating #realnaturalkids #healthyfoodshare #momlife #motherhoodrising #healthyeah #parenthood #healthykids #todayfood #healthy #momblogger #kaleyeah #huffposttaste #pbsfood #lunchbox #realschoolfood #healthylunchbox

Hands down my absolute favorite school food meal..... Wild Caught Alaskan Pollock Fish & Grits with perfectly cooked vegetables and fresh fruit. This is a great example of the high quality, innovative meals served every day to the more than 76,000 students in Greenville County Schools. Outstanding job today by Training Manager Julie Smith and her rock star team at NW Middle school. #seafood2xwk #omega3s #schoolfoodrocks #realschoolfood #yeahwedothattoo

Did you know that you can turn your nachos into a taco salad? They are a great way to add more veggies to your #LCPSLunch option. Students and teachers love them!
Did you know that if all hamburgers eaten by Americans in just one year were set side by side, they would circle the Earth more than 32 times?! We've got locally raised, hormone- and antibiotic-free, gluten-free burgers and cheeseburgers in all #BVSD schools today. Or for those looking for something vegetarian, try the Pepper Popper Panini, with just the right amount of spice. See you at lunch! #realschoolfood #eatlocal #localfood

Gluten is the most common food allergy and intolerance we have to accommodate. We created a recipe for Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies so almost every kid can enjoy a dessert the day it’s served! 🍪 What’s your favorite gluten-free dessert? #SchoolNutritionPlus
Pictures say 1000 words....this was my response to someone who said school nutrition programs deprive children of adequate nutrition and lack access to fruits and vegetables. These photos are not staged, this is what school meal options look like not just in @lcpscafe but in districts across the country. Thousands of school nutrition professionals work tirelessly each day to serve millions of meals to students across the country. April 30th kicks off School Nutrition Professionals Appreciation Week. Take time to thank your school Nutrition heroes!

Happy birthday CACFP!! Feeding those growing bodies the right way should not be overlooked. Good nutrition = less challenging behaviors = a greater ability to focus & learn. Hungry children can’t learn. But neither can children who are not nourished. Here’s to real home-cooked foods, that are simple, cost-effective, and delicious. Let’s develop those palates from early on. #cacfp50 #childnutrition #earlychildhood #foodmatters #letscook #realschoolfood #salmonidaho #headstart #realfoodpreschool #preschool #localfood #nutrientdense
