What's everyone having (or had) for lunch today?
I've only got the 14mo olds (2) today due to a sickness that's going around our area so we're having an easy day!
We're having:
Corn dog cupcakes (small turkey hot dogs pieces in corn bread, cooked in muffin tins), edamame, HM applesauce, and milk.

I wish my menu was more flexible, they give me a list with around 20 items for each meal. I have to follow them, so today was white rice, corn, corned beef and apples.

We have a LOT of rice in my menu, like a lot and they don't like for us to get creative and go outside of the menu. Almost everyday my kids have rice, think is a cultural thing. My food program was sponsored at first with a Hispanic organization, then they switched to be part of the Capitol City's Food program but kept the same menu.
And example of what is in the menu and sorry that I am going in another direction here,
Milk, hamburguer, bun, green salad, corn
Milk, corned beef canned, rice, corn, apple
Milk, meat loaf, yucca, wheat bread, fruit or ice cream
Milk, rice, chicken,tomato, papaya
Milk, meat loaf, green peas, bread, butter, applesauce
Milk, rice, beans, carrots, canned peaches
Milk, stewed beef, rice, green beans, cantaloupe
Milk, rice, dried peas, sausage, bread, squash, strawberries
Milk, macaroni with cooked ground beef, carrots, papaya
If i keep going through my menu i will probably find more than 10 more items with rice. I know we can do better, but they want us to stick to it even though we've been asking for a while now.

I made ravioli using wonton wrappers and a mixture of cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, oregano and garlic. We had spaghetti sauce with the ravioli and mango for a fruit. I completely forgot the veggie. I'll have to throw that in this afternoon.

I like lots of variety and my menus don't repeat for weeks and weeks. I have about 3 months of menus and I am still looking for new recipes. I'd be sad with your limitations! You do have a good variety of food, I just really like tons of options.We have a LOT of rice in my menu, like a lot and they don't like for us to get creative and go outside of the menu.
