MAC AND CHEESE

                                    MACARONI AND CHEESE TODAY!

PLAIN PASTA IS ALWAYS AN OPTON.  ROASTED BRUSSEL SPROUTS  WERE SERVED AS A SIDE OPTON.  THIS SAUCE  I  MAKE MYSELF AND IT IS YUMMY.  

spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce sicilain

Home made fresh tomato sauce sicilian style was served on the spaghetti today. Katherine made chocolate cake from scratch.
We believe that a treat should be just that, a treat. At McGillis we do not serve sweets very often (about once a month), but when we do they are home made and wonderful.

An interesting tidbit about the salad bar, we use a spring mix and romaine blend with spinach. Lots of students pile the lettuces on to their tray and a student recently asked me for arugula ! It made my day.

Roasted Veggie Pasta

Today we an awesome roasted vegetable pasta. The pasta was tossed with a little goat cheese. The veggies were roasted with a little olive oil and salt. It was broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, brussel sprouts, butternut squash, mushrooms and onions. The pasta was served with oranges and salad (not pictured because we ran out).

We also gave the option of plain pasta, which most kids chose.

Unfortunately.

For them.

Tortellini

Today we sort of a mixture of things. The littles kids had ravioli, oranges, carrots and celery and as the day things changed and we ended up with tortellini, apples and celery.

macaroni and cheese

Today was macaroni and cheese day! The macaroni was served with fresh steamed broccoli cooked in our friend Dane Cook, and grapes.


And to leave you with something fun to look at....

Spaghetti

Today we had spaghetti. We have found it's easier to use these smaller noodles this year instead of spaghetti noodles. They're easier to mix with sauce and serve in the limited time we have.
The spaghetti was served with ice cream (lunch hero request), strawberries and a spring mix salad with cucumber, tomato, carrot, croutons and a little parmesan cheese and ranch dressing.
