Food At Child Care

[paradise lost]

Is that a CMOT Dubbler reference there Ryn?! It's what i thought of immediately

Is the menu for the parents to read or the kids to have read to them? I wondered if maybe there will be veggies on the plate that they don't mention on the board as kids can be so picky and might have convinced themselves by lunchtime that it's all yukky because they don't like salad/peas/carrots and thus they don't put it up so it's a surprise instead?

I'd be annoyed if that represented the usual standard, but snags once in a while wouldn't be a problem ( i gave DD pizza tonight too! I circumnavigated guilt and scurvy by putting peas, sugarsnaps and brocolli on the side...) LOL.

hmmmm eeek. At FDC sometimes they have one item lunchs, last week Jovie had:

Monday: Corn cobs Day
Tuesday: Pea and Ham soup

So they aren't necessarily balanced. Lizzie has heaps of kids with allergies, so wheat is one and my girls are allergic to dairy so they have another one. It makes things hard, but the kids love corn cob days.

ours has fruit for morning tea, sandwiches for afternoon tea (unless there is a special homemade slice or muffin or birthday cake). they have had the odd "sausage sizzle day "which my 4 yr old informs me they have salad stuff to go on your bread as well on those days - its usually when they are celebrating something. (most days are things that either have veges in them or veges with them eg quiche, sheperds pie, sausages mash and veges, spaghetti and occasionally chicken nuggets and veges, stirfry etc)
