Dinkazoo is part of the State Food Program.  We eat fresh, homemade healthy meals at Dinkazoo.  I only serve fresh or frozen fruit and vegetables, whole wheat grains and limited processed foods (mainly snack crackers).  I also incorporate some of the "Sneaky Chef" techniques to get more proteins and vegetables into the meals I serve by sneaking in purees (chick peas, squash, mixed veggies, sweet potatoes).  I do not serve juice (except for special occassions) and serve water or milk with every meal and snack.  Here are some examples of the meals we eat at Dinkazoo.
