Just a pot of tired dandan noodles sauce simmering on the hob for lunch and all the beautiful, individual ways a group of toddlers hoover it down. 😂 there’s the pincer-grip-noodle-suck, the grasp-and-shove, the 🥄, the 🥄 in one hand while you grasp-and-shove with the other hand and of course, the bowl-slurp to get the last of the broth before refilling Recipe deets in comments
#BVSD is back to work! Meadow Gold driver Ricky made his first milk deliveries of the year today and got to see a lot of great friends along the way, like KSL Ann Korda at Creekside Elementary. Working together to get the job done! #backtoschool #backtoschool2018 #realschoolfood
Lots of hands-on training for our team yesterday. We invited @cuisinesolutions and @inharvest in to train our team on how to use the #sousvide items and new ancient grains we are adding to the #LCPSLunch menu this year!
It’s shoe day for our staff! All contracted employees get to shop the mobile shoe store and select a pair to kickoff the new year!

We have some changes coming to the #LCPSLunch menu in our elementary schools this fall. Students will be able to take unlimited fresh fruits and veggies from the garden bar at no extra cost. This model has been popular with our middle and high school students, so we decided to implement it district-wide this year. Our students can enjoy 1-2 servings of their favorite hot veggies that are served daily as well.
In an ideal school food world, we would all use milk dispensers to cut down on waste, but faced with cartons, not a bad idea. 👍Check out the carton2garden contest @kidsgardening 🥕

Roasted almonds are a satisfying snack full of healthy fats and protein perfect for growing bodies, but keep an eye out for artificially flavored varieties. If you see honey roasted, barbecue, or other specialty flavors, don’t forget to read your ingredient labels before buying. You may be surprised to find processed & artificial sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup, or artificial flavors on the list. Stick with raw, roasted, or salted almonds to be sure you’re skipping The Harmful 7! . . . . #LifeTimeFoundation #TheHarmful7 #TheGoodFoodFight #nonprofitorganization #healthykids #healthyfamily #toddlerfood #kidsfood #kidsmeal #toddlereats #philanthropy #socialgood #causes #dogood #nonprofit #givingback #fundraising #activism #donate #giving #giveback #volunteering #realschoolfood #truefood
