We are required to have a menu posted for the state now as well as the food program. I always try to plan a month of main dishes ahead and then fill in veg and fruit depending on what is on sale/ on hand etc.Comment

I don't either! I make extra dinner food and always have a few backups in case something comes up. Like I always have chili, soup, bread, meat & cheese for sandwiches, and lots of different vegg is cut up and ready. I always use it up by the end of the week. I hate waste!Comment

I don't understand how you guys get your kids to eat all this stuff! OR where you find the time to make it all!?? I make meals, but nothing this fancy! No one would eat it if I did. I know it's not our job to make them eat; only to serve, but it kills me to throw food away.Comment

And here we are, onto another week. So soon???
It looks like Tuesday will be:
Pork chops, brown rice, applesauce, green beans, grapes
Wednesday:
Turkey and provolone wraps, lettuce and tomato, fresh pineapple, red peppers
Thursday:
Cheeseburgers on buns, cauliflower, peaches
Friday:
Pizza and try to finish up whatever fruits/veggies we need to
And AuntTami, I pretty much know who will eat what but I still serve the teeniest portion of everything to everybody. Then designate a day and use up leftover veggies/fruits. Or redo them as something else. I have many kids who appear to have never had a veggie in their lives 
and if they eat it or try it great, if not, either the dogs will get it or the garbage will. I hate wasting food too. 
But I've gone from serving the required amounts(why if you know they're not going to eat it :confusedto giving them a miniscule serving.
Someone told us at a training it takes 19 times of serving something before it is accepted. Not sure if I agree with that or not.Comment
