School lunch leaves families desiring more.

I received my Milwaukee Public Schools - School Nutrition Services Calendar today and I am appalled at the lack of choices.  They have literally come up with an even smaller list of repeating items for their lunch menu.  Pizza, hot dogs, cheese garlic bread, diced chicken, and a handful of other items make up the menu.  I am not happy and it leaves me desiring more for my children. I can't wait for Jaime Oliver to come to Milwaukee and start a Food Revolution. Therefore, I am starting this blog at the request of a friend.

I will post recipes, tips, and ideas for creating healthier lunches for our children.  We can no longer send our children to school and trust that they will receive the nutrition they need to keep their bodies fueled for learning.  Remember parents, Charity starts at home.  Let's show our kids how much we love them.

  3. Yes, Ms. Vikki it is such a shame that we can't count on the school system to feed their minds nor their bodies with nutrition.

    Food for thought, Literally!!!
