AM Snack: grapes, homemade baked good banana bread, oatmeal cookie, muffin or toast and jam, or dry cereal mix (cheerios, corn bran, life), milk - amount served varies by arrival time - ie how long since breakfast. Snack is served at 8:30.
Lunch: served 11:30 milk to drink
Mon: grilled cheese, deli meat, apple slices/strawberry sliced on top, cucumber
Tues: fish sticks, sweet potatoe fries/ketchup for dipping, mixed veggies, apple slices/strawberry sliced on top
Wed: hamburg, noodles, mixed veggies, cucumber, apple slices/strawberry sliced on top
Thurs: chicken warmed with sweet and sour sauce, mac n cheese, peas and corn, apple slices/strawberries
Fri would normally be pancakes, scrambled egg
(IF you finish your plate of food and you are still hungry you have a choice of apple sauce or yogurt and a cookie - usually the strawberry newton kind)
PM Snack: served 3:30 banana and cracker (graham cracker, arrowroot biscuit, digestive biscuit - they each have a choice), juice - as soon as nap is over and diapers changed we go to our outdoor picnic table and eat snack outside, when done they go to play.
Note: I often used frozen mixed veggies with the idea then everyone gets to pick out the kinds of veggies they like and leave behind the ones they don't so I don't have to remember who likes what. They are also ideal finger foods for the toddlers.
