Of Vegetables And Oats

Hello from the kitchen! I’ve got a break while my oatmeal batch cooks 🙂

My morning flew by with more design projects and an in-service photo shoot on the assembly, use and safety while using the newly purchased Robo-Coupe choppers for the high schools. Some photos to come!

We unpacked yesterday’s lunch buffet leftovers for our midday sustenance today

:mrgreen: this !
And we had even more roasted squash to add!

I brought in some Great Harvest bread to share for the sandwiches along with my kalamta olive hummus on its last days. And a few red peppers and a carrot to enjoy with lunch.

Talk about a rainbow!!!

I put some hummus on Dakota bread with pickles and red pepper and a thin slice if Swiss cheese. Plus sides of root veggies, roasted squash, a pickle, my carrot and a few fruit bites.

Totally loved this lunch!!

Gotta run – the Quaker man and I have work to do 😉

    I think that your school cafeteria rotation is SO cool! I wish I had paid more attention to what I was eating back in high school. More often than not, I skipped breakfast and ate pizza, chips, and a brownie for lunch. Ugh. Your oatmeal breakfasts and veggie packed lunches set a great example!

    Haha here in England, cos of all the snow, oat sales have gone up masses, so the people at Quaker oats are having to work round the clock to meet demand (according to the newspaper) lol! Have a good afternoon 🙂

    I’m really enjoying reading about your internship. I just tried a new recipe for overnight oats that I thought I’d share. A friend suggested it. A half cup oats with one cup apple juice. I topped it with a bit of cinnamon in the morning. The apple juice makes the oats very sweet. I found it too liquidy so I’ll cut back on the juice next time.

    Why use the quick oats? Old Fashion rolled oat take just a couple more minutes AND they have a way higher nutrition content. I mean as long as your improving diet, you might as well go all out!

    “Instant Oatmeal, however, while handy at times, pales in comparison nutritionally to cooked varieties. Quaker Instant Oatmeal with Maple & Brown Sugar scores a 25 and the High Fiber version only brings the score up to a 27.

    Fast forward to my life as a Mom and you find me making Quaker Old Fashioned Oats. They cook in 5 minutes and I’m lucky that my schedule allows me to do this for my daughter. They score a 57 on the NuVal scale. Sometimes I make a big batch ahead and reheat during the week.”

      Agreed. Quick oats are no less nutritionally sound. They just have more surface area than rolled oats, causing them to cook quicker. This does result in a slightly less glycemic index. but the nutrients are the same.

    Just cause it was brought up above – Quick oats are not the same as instant oats. Quick oats have the same nutritional content as old fashioned oats! They just roll um up and break up a couple more times so they cook faster. Yay for nutritional breakfast in schools!

    I’m not going to lie, Kath. Your foodservice rotation sounds about 1000x better than mine! I love all your fun projects! I think mine was a little different because it was hospital foodservice, and I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off all day. 🙂 Love seeing everything you’re doing, though!

    Just wanted to note: not ALL of these super healthy veggies are on the school lunch menu. Some are in the experimental stages, and this lunch buffet was catered. So while my district is amazingly ahead of the game, this lunch isn’t cafeteria style.
