Summer meals in Brooten

The Tri-Valley summer meal program's hours of operation for breakfast, lunch and snack at the elementary school were published on page three of the May 30 issue of the Bonanza Valley Voice (under Ramblings). This program is free to all children ages 0 to 18. (Yes, 18-year olds who just graduated are able to come and eat!)

I finally got my hands on the menu.

This is the lunch menu for today (Monday, June 10): kicken' chicken, brown rice, baked sweet potato, apple slices, milk.

Snack today: pineapple, whole grain goldfish, water.

Unfortunately, they serve just skim milk for kids ages two and older. I guess the adage holds, "beggars can't be choosers"

Menu for Tuesday, June 11:
*Breakfast: whole grain cereal, banana, milk
*Lunch: lasagna, vegetable, fruit, milk
*Snack: veggies (carrots & cauliflower) with hummus or cool cucumber dip, milk

Menu for Wednesday, June 12:

*Breakfast: whole grain toast w/ butter or WOW butter, peach halves, milk

*Lunch: bean taco, baby carrots, strawberry, milk

*Snack: low fat cheddar cheese, whole wheat Ritz crackers, water

...the menu for Thursday, June 13 and later will be published in this week's issue.
