I have had a 6wk rotating menu for a few cycles. But due to the way our preschool center's set up I have been looking to make things easier for myself. (Second preschoolers room is a separate building and is taking about 30mns or more of my time just to deliver/pick-up their food and dishes.) So I have dropped to a 5wk, which I have read in a couple of places is a common schedule, in order to weed out some of the less popular and more time consuming meals. I believe our elementary school is doing a 5wk menu, too. I'd love to see what other menus look like. Currently, this is mine:

*Cheese ravioli w/marinara, green beans, peaches
*Chicken nuggets, baked tots, cooked carrots, vegetable sticks
*Taco pita pocket w/lettuce & tomato, bell pepper strips
*Hot dog w/bun, broccoli, mandarin oranges
*Quesadilla w/cheese & salsa, vegetable sticks, applesauce

*Grilled cheese, tomato soup, peaches
*Mashed potatoes w/gravy, fish sticks or wedges, corn, applesauce
*French toast sticks, sausage patty, strawberries, vegetable sticks
*English muffin pepperoni pizza, vegetable sticks, pears
*Ham/turkey & cheese sandwich, vegetable sticks, fruit cocktail

*Mac'n'cheese, baked beans, carrots & peas, honeydew
*Hamburger w/bun, lettuce & tomato, tots, vegetable sticks
*Chicken Alfredo, cooked carrots, mandarin oranges
*Tator-tot hotdish, dinner roll, cucumber slices, applesauce
*PB&J sandwich, broccoli & cauliflower, pears

*Bosco stick w/marinara, lettuce salad, fruit cocktail
*Sloppy joe w/bun, raw snap peas or green beans, pineapple coleslaw
*Pancakes, sausage links, citrus fruit salad, vegetable sticks
*Fish sticks, dinner roll, bell pepper strips, applesauce
*BBQ chicken quesadilla, corn & black beans salad, banana

*Cheese pizza, vegetable sticks, applesauce
*Hot ham'n'cheese sandwich, tortilla chips w/salsa, cantaloupe
*Goulash, cooked carrots, vegetable sticks
*Chicken patty w/bun, cooked green beans, pears
*Corn dog, vegetable sticks, peaches

All is served with milk everyday. I have been removing tots and fries and believe I am down to just one time, with the exception of tator-tot hotdish which I will keep. I've also been trying to remove fruit from lunches a little at a time as it opens up more snack options.
