MENUS

My menus must follow the meal pattern requirements for children set by the USDA program.

This is an example of one of my menus. When I first started doing daycare I had very complicated menus. I now make my menus as simple as possible. Since I am on the USDA food program certain foods are required and Milk must always be served with each meal. I keep my menus very general for example by only having ground beef written in my menu, it leaves me with the option of fixing it anyway I want to, the same goes for chicken.
