So, our school district is giving out free foods. It is an honor system to keep people employed and hungry children fed. People didn't come and now they are giving out more than on the menu so they won't be wasted.
So far we have been able to consume and use them for our cooking as ingredients. We do have the "hospital grade" food and kids are getting sick of them, and parents I know aren't going there anymore. I still go but you cannot pick and choose what you get. So far I'm ok except raisin.
I normally don't eat raisin and I couldn't figure out what to cook them with. Now I have about 10 small boxes but the number is increasing. Any suggestion? I do not want to spend a lot of effort to consume a little, like making 2 lb of bread to use up 1 oz, I want to use them up efficiently.
What else have I made so far with school foods:
Apple pie (10 small apples per pie)
Roast baby carrots
Roast corns
Strawberry and banana smoothie
Turkey / Ham "BLT" sandwiches
Mac and cheese
Grilled chicken with cheese sticks
Apple "cider"
Fish ball with celery and shallot
Pepper Jack and breakfast sausage burritos
Grilled Ham and Cheese sandwich
Chicken nugget and pickle slider
Just don't know what to do with raisins.
