I loved the School Nutrition Association Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah! There two parts: the classes and the food expo. Food expos are awesome, but really overwhelming. You feel this need to sample everything and before you know it you’ve eaten an entire days worth of calories in just a couple hours. But, it’s great to sample different foods. This conference was much less overwhelming than FNCE, but it was still so much stuff. Vendors at this conference specifically dealt with school nutrition foodservice (but many of them are also involved in general foodservice, unlike FNCE which is products for the general population, however there are several of the same vendors. At the expo I sampled so.much.food. The food here meets the government guidelines mandated for school nutrition (like being whole grain rich).
I also went to several classes, I will talk more about those later! In the meantime here’s lots of photos from my time in Salt Lake City!
At the entrance of the food expo and what part of the food expo looks like from above
Barilla had lots of wonderful pasta samplings that could be done in schools
After day one of free snacks!
With the Mini Wheat and the Uncrustable!
An awesome yogurt bar
One of the booths was about making lunchrooms more fun. I would have loved to eat lunch in a place like this as a kid!
With some of the interns in a session and at the food expo!
GSU Dis with one of the awesome presenters! She calls herself MGM (her initials) Superstar!
We had one more open afternoon so we went on a little hike!
Loved this view! I will miss Salt Lake City.
