More than half of your body is water! Feb 14: Valentines Day Treat On Feb 14, we will be offering a special valentines day treat. Students who purchase lunch will receive a freshly baked double chocolate cookie topped with a sweet tart heart! Wed, Feb 26: Celebrate Potato Lovers Month! On Feb 26, we will be celebrating our love of potatoes with a warm bowl of turkey & mashed potato soup. Mashed potatoes provide a thick broth without the high fat content in the typical creamy soup.
Feb 3: Celebrate Chinese New Year! The year of the horse! In the Chinese culture, each year of the lunar calendar is represented by a different animal cycling every 12 years. The animal representing the year in which you are born is thought to reflect similar character traits. Year 2014 is believed to be a very positive and prosperous year for horses born in years: 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014 Active and energetic, horses are very stylish and love being in a crowd. They are also very quickwitted and often finish peoples sentences. Horses are very independent, love to travel, and are not afraid to march to their own drum! Sounds like horses make good friends!

Nutrition Intuition
In 1987, Registered Dietitian Karen Fynan built a company based on the principles of Nutrition & Service naming her company Nutri-Serve Food Management to reflect these beliefs. Nutrition has always been at the forefront of menu planning with the goal of creating a serving line that teaches our customers about healthy meals. We believe our exponential growth to 83 districts over the last 25+ years is a result of our commitment to serve tasty and healthy meals to our customers. Nutri-Serves Corporate Dietitian, Kristen Mueller, RD, works collaboratively with our leadership team to plan our monthly menus and provides nutrition support and education to students, athletes & school staff.
Why is chocolate so addicting?

This delicious treat melts in your mouth while leading to the release of a mood boosting chemical called serotonin. Reap benefits of this indulgent treat by choosing dark chocolate which is higher in antioxidants which help prevent cell damage!
Dark Chocolate is lower in sugar resulting in a more bitter flavor. Heres some ideas to counter the bitterness!

Balloons for a
Balanced Lunch
Our nutrition education involves the healthy marketing of our serving line. To teach the concept of balance to our elementary-aged customers we use the concept of Balloons for a Balanced Lunch. Each balloon represents a different food group. Blue is milk, Red is fruits, Green is vegetables, Yellow is grain, Purple is protein. A lunch tray with every color balloon is a healthy one!
St Mary School Menu Descriptions-page 4 Some Insight Into Our Menu Magic.
Oriental Chicken Salad
Look for these cool new menu items throughout the school year!!
Entre Descriptions
Its a perfect crunchy and sweet combination! Grilled chicken, mandarin oranges, purple cabbage and crunchy chow mein noodles over greens. The Oriental sesame salad dressing tastes amazing!
Turkey Club Salad

The turkey club sandwich has always been a hit so we made it into a salad to boost the serving of leafy greens. Any salad dressing tastes great on it.
Cheesy Pizza Pretzel

Pretzel buns are the trendy new way to make one awesome sandwich. Pretzel Looking Fresh! sandwiches are featured at some of the most popular food service establishments frequented by our young customers. Turkey pepperoni and mozzarella cheese on a whole grain sounds like the perfect healthy school lunch modification!
Grown-up Grilled Cheese

We take traditional grilled cheese to a new level! With American, mozzarella & cheddar cheeses all melted on whole grain white bread with a slice of turkey bacon you will be loving grilled cheese for years to come!
Chicken Quesadilla
A Mexican style entre featuring a slightly spicy Cajun chicken and cheddar cheese pressed in a wheat tortilla served with salsa and sour cream.
Buffalo Chicken Salad

Hot sauce is a hit across all age groups. Chicken tossed in buffalo sauce over greens is the perfect way to get students to eat their veggies! We love it with blue cheese or light ranch dressing.
* Cheesy Mac and Trees
Buffalo Chicken Salads are popular across the board!
A creative Rachael Ray idea to sneak in some extra veggies for our young customers. We add broccoli in with our traditional whole grain mac and cheese. All the kids notice is its cheesy delicious-ness! *Menu choices inspired by Rachael Ray Sides:
www.schools.healthiergeneration.org! Turkey Mashed Potato Soup Mashed potatoes add to the creamy texture without the added fat from the traditional heavy cream used in cream soups. Cauliflower Popcorn cauliflower baked in olive oil and topped with cheese Tangy Corn & Rice Salad Rice, corn and pineapple make for a delicious combination in this salad served cold.
