What's for Lunch - Wednesday, February 27th
BRUNCH FOR LUNCH
Cinnamon Challah French Toast (Order Entree #1)
w/Orange Rounds
Applegate® Turkey Bacon
OR
Scrambled Egg & Cheese Wrap (Order Entree #2)
w/Orange Rounds
Sweet Potato Crinkles
Fruit/Veggies at Salad Bar
The salad bar is back....and just in time.
We were using whole wheat bread for this but went back to the Challah bread. I don't know why. . The syrup is basically HFCS. They are looking for an affordable maple syrup but do not have one yet - but they will be limiting the serving size this year in the meantime. Actual lunch from our schools above. This meal has a lot of sugar, simple carbohydrates -- no whole grains.
The turkey bacon is by Applegate. Here are the ingredients: Turkey (Turkey Used Never Administered Antibiotics, Growth Promotants or Animal By-products), Water, Sea Salt, Maple Sugar, Celery Juice, Onion Powder, Spices, Lactic Acid Starter Culture (not From Milk.) They promote it as nitrate-free but this NYT article indicates otherwise - and cites the company saying their products have the same level (naturally) of cancer-causing nitrates as conventional brands. Read more about nitrates here.
I do not believe the wrap used for the egg and cheese is whole grain.
Fresh oranges
The Crinkles are fries by McCains that are flash fried and then frozen with 190mg of sodium and 7g of fat (one is saturated). The ingredients are: Sweet Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Contains One Or More Of The Following Oils: Canola, Soybean, Cottonseed, Sunflower, Corn), Corn Starch - Modified. Contains 2% or less of Annatto (color), Beta Carotene (color), Caramel Color, Corn Starch, Dehydrated Sweet Potatoes, Leavening (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Natural Flavor (Contains Wheat), Rice Flour, Salt, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate Added To Maintain Natural Color, Sugar, Tapioca Dextrin, Xanthan Gum.
