All the children that were brave enough to choose , really enjoyed it and asked when they could have it again! 😁 See pictures for details.

To help you reduce your food waste, keep an organised fridge and an eye on those use-by dates; especially the meat, dairy and other fresh produce.
Don't forget, if you can't eat it in time, check to see if you can freeze it. If you can, keep a record of the dates you froze any goods in a book, or label the food; this help with freezer rotation.

Do you need inspiration for what to do with all those Christmas and Boxing Day leftovers this weekend? Well, we have lots of great suggestions on the recipe page of our website, but we'd love you to share your ideas and traditions to reduce with our community. https://bit.ly/3K8PUth

Here's why having parsnips on your roast this month is more than just a 'tradition'. No matter how you love to serve them, this root veg is high in folic acid which contributes towards mental alertness and reduces tiredness.
So, if the kids have you up early over the next week, eating these should help you stay awake! More info about parsnips can be found courtesy of our friends at VegPowerUK https://bit.ly/3NBpN03

Did you know that each time you open the oven door, the temperature inside the oven can drop by as much as 120 degrees Celsius? So this if you need to check on the cooking progress of the food inside, try to resist the urge to open the door, and use the oven’s lamps or use timers.

World Vegan Day - Plant Power
World Vegan Day - Plant Power

As it's #WorldVeganDay we thought it would be a good idea to highlight the #PlantPower dishes that feature on our #New primary menu that starts on Monday in the majority of our schools in #Hampshire. If your child follows a #Vegan lifestyle, ask your school to request our vegan #schoollunch menu from our special diet team. Find our standard primary menu resources here https://bit.ly/3VZYJfQ

This week Hampshire Fostering celebrate the incredible journey of fostering and the beautiful memories it creates. Fostering is more than just providing a home; it’s about offering love, stability, and a sense of belonging to children who need it most. Throughout this week, they will be sharing heartwarming stories that highlight the profound impact fostering has on children and families. These stories are a testament to the dedication and compassion of Hampshire foster carers, who open their hearts and homes to make a difference.

Year R parents and carers - A wide vocabulary sets your child up for life. Children with a good vocabulary at the age of five are more likely to read well as adults. So practice new words used for lunch from our menus using phonics. https://bit.ly/3VZYJfQ #GetSchoolReady #StartingSchool #TopTip

Vegetable Wellington
Vegetable Wellington

On tomorrow's #schoollunch menu is our vegetable wellington. This dish is bursting with three of the #EatThemToDefeatThem veg; butternut squash, courgettes and peppers. Plus red onions, garlic and chickpeas. The dish provides your child with a range of vitamins and minerals from a ‘rainbow’ of vegetables whilst the chickpeas, a legume, are a great plant-based source of protein, carbohydrates and fibre. Has your child tried this tasty non-meat option yet? #SustainableThinking #FoodToFlourish

Chicken Nuggets are back!
Chicken Nuggets are back!

Chicken nuggets are back tomorrow on our classics #schoollunch menu. We know children enjoy them but here's what you as a parent or carer need to know: they aren't just ANY chicken nuggets! They're high in protein and contain not only chicken breast but cauliflower too! This means they are also high in fibre and have vitamin C and K for healthy skin and bones. As this dish is a returning favourite, we have previously received comments comparing our meal to a 'happy' fast food chain that offers four nuggets as part of their meal. But did you know our nuggets comply with the School Food Plan and are in fact 4g larger? Which as an overall means our meal only has 4g less 'chicken nugget' yet in addtion we serve vegetables of the day, additional salad and handmade bread; not to mention dessert! #Week3Monday #FoodToFlourish

Katsu curry is back!
Katsu curry is back!

Back tomorrow on our classics #schoolunch menu is our #Katsu chicken curry. This mild, coconut milk-based curry was a real winner with pupils of all ages when it featured on our menu before. The oven baked chicken escalope is low in saturated fat, high in protein with extra hidden cauliflower that's high in fibre. #PlantPower #FoodToFlourish LACA

Hear from the Chief Executive of VegPowerUK, who attended our launch event in February, as to why we all need to encourage kids to eat more vegetables. What are you doing in your household? And are you sending your child for a #schoolunch so we can help them defeat the veg? Hampshire County Council #EatThemToDefeatThem 🥦🫑🥕🥬
