Food

A typical day's menu for a kid would be waffles and eggs for breakfast. a sandwich for lunch. And meat or pasta for dinner. Here's a recipe from my state:

CONNECTICUT Yankee Doodle Noodle Salad

12 ounces ziti rigati macaroni, cooked (about 4 1/4 cups)
2 1-ounce packages turkey jerky, cut into small bite size pieces
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1 large bunch red radishes, trimmed and sliced
1 cup fresh corn kernels, blanched (or 1 cup canned kernel corn, drained)
2/3 cup Ranch style dressing
1/2 7-ounce package puffed cheese snacks (about 1-1/2 cups)
1/2 6-ounce package sour cream and onion-flavored potato chips (or BBQ)
flavor, slightly crushed. 6 servings.
12 cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered (depending on size)

Toss together cooked macaroni, turkey jerky, onion, radishes and corn. Mix
with 1/2 cup of the ranch dressing. Fold in puffed cheese snacks. Scoop into
an attractive salad bowl or into individual salad bowls. Drizzle with
remaining ranch dressing. Top with potato chips. Garnish with a ring of
cherry tomatoes. Reserve remaining puffed cheese snacks and potato chips.
