I've volunteered for the daycare nutrition committee to review and change some of their less-than-ideal menu items (um, Hot Pockets???)
They are unable to change the vendor with whom they contract, so we have to work with what we can get.
I'd love any suggestions of really healthy "institutional" food items for kids through age 6 that can be prepared in serious mass quantities. We've already planned to chang to whole wheat items, add more fresh fruit, less juice, less refined grains, but need more good alternatives.
TIA!
