I'm not in hospitals, but do industrial work at a food manufacturer. If you would like to pick my brain, send me a PM and I'll help if I can. |

Hi Kendra,
I've worked in the healthcare scene for almost three years now and have many friends that have been in it for quite some time.
What kind of info are you looking for? I started in 05 in a 375 bed hospital and am now in a 400 unit retirement center.  |

| |  What are you serving for lunch today?
We serve both patients and have a well known cafe and express store.
I was wondering, what is everyone serving for meals today and through the weekend?  |

| | just the sweets
Today is Peanut Butter Cake, Peach Cobbler, Carrot Cake and Chocolate Coffee Chiffon.
There is a spring roll (summer roll) with a peanut sauce here that would knock your socks off.
Patients sweet for the day is Sugar Cookie
I am working on Splenda replacement for sugar in several items for sugar restricted patients:
Angelfood
Sugar Cookie
Gingerbread Cookie
So far the Splenda Measure for Measure product is working out very well.
I may try out the Equal for baking too. | |
