Day Twenty Four: Whole Wheat Corn Dog

So as you know, we ate in our room today.  The corn dogs actually came with ketchup, thank goodness!  Otherwise I don't know if I could have eaten it.  The kids in my class kept getting up to get more ketchup, it was funny.  I have fun serving them, and don't like anyone's help.  So if someone tries to come in, I always say, I got it.  I'm kind of a perfectionist, and like to do things my way.  Anyway, the corndogs had whole wheat breading, and were actually turkey dogs.  They tasted so good, just like a real corndog.  Not as good as a Krusty Pup though.  I had some grapes and chocolate milk with my corndog.  The kids did too, and some celery and carrots.  One of my kids dipped his carrot in the ketchup, another one dipped his celery into his chocolate milk!  What a crazy class.  Another exciting day eating lunch in our classroom.

Day Twenty Three: Bean and Cheese Burrito

Today was a half day, so lucky me, we got to eat in our classrooms.  The students, of course, were so excited.  Me, I think it would be better if they didn't make such a mess when eating.  The burritos were piping hot, and guess who got to serve them? Me!  I don't mind serving the kids lunch, but those burritos were very hot!  I don't know how they expect kids to eat something so hot.  But, one of my students told the class, "If you wrap it in a paper towel, it's not too hot on the inside".  So smart!  Why didn't I think of that? The kids also got chocolate milk, carrots, and an apple.  I didn't eat any carrots.  It was nice to hear what my kids talk about during lunch.  We get to eat lunch in the classroom for the rest of the week.  Hooray for conferences!  I have to say, there was one downside to eating in our room, there was no sour cream or salsa!

Day Twenty Two: Whole Wheat Spaghetti and Meat Sauce

The spaghetti sauce was delicious, but I'm not a big fan of whole wheat noodles.  I was served a huge amount of noodles and sauce.  It was more than a normal person can eat, but of course, I did eat it all.  Even though I didn't like the noodles, and I had some coleslaw.  Needless to say, I was very full after lunch, and pretty much for the rest of the day.  But, that didn't stop me from eating dinner.  I really can't say no to food. It's amazing I've actually lost weight, just goes to show that the school lunch is healthy.

Amazing!

I came into the cafeteria this morning, and what did they have?  Spoons and forks! No more sporks!  It's weird that this happened right after I complained about sporks!  Yesterday was pretty tough eating soup with a spork!  I'm beyond excited!

Day Twenty One: Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

This is one of my favorite lunches!  They started serving it last year, and it was so exciting.  There's just something about grilled cheese and tomato soup.  It's weird because I had never tried it until last year, but it  reminds of growing up.  The students were served a prepackaged grilled cheese, on white bread.  It wasn't an uncrustable, some other brand.  It looked good, but the teachers got a fresh grilled cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread.  It was good, especially dipped into the hot tomato soup.  Well it was hot when I got it, but after walking to the staff room, it was just warm.  I also had some coleslaw, and it was so good!  I also didn't start eating coleslaw until recently, but now I can't get enough of it!  Today's lunch was very yummy!

Weigh In

Good news!  I've lost 5 pounds, this could be because of all of the walking I do at school.  However, the school lunch hasn't made me gain weight, so that means it's not bad for you!  I'm more than halfway through my experiment, and so far I'd say it's been a success!

Day Twenty: Pizza Friday!

It's about time!  Finally we had a different pizza flavor, Canadian bacon and pineapple.  Usually we only have cheese or pepperoni. The pineapple was amazing on the pizza, and I also got a side of pineapple.  Today I added a little bit of salad with ranch.  It was so good to have a different option for pizza Friday.  Although, I swear the "Canadian bacon" was really cut up hot dog!  It was still good!
