Breads
and Cereals
Breads
and cereals start from seeds
Of grasses farmers grow;
They’re all ground up and mixed with eggs
And other flavors for dough.
The crust of pies and dinner rolls,
And noodles of chicken soup,
Doughnuts, spaghetti, and Cream of Wheat
Are in the bread and cereals group.

Dairy
Products
Dairy
products are food from the farm
That came from pasture and coop;
Milk from cows and eggs from hens
Are part of the dairy group
We eat our
eggs cooked soft or hard,
Scrambled, poached, or steamed;
From milk we make our cottage cheese,
Our yogurt, and ice cream.

|
Vegetables
and Fruits
The food we
like to eat that grows
On vines and bushes and trees
Are vegetables and fruits, my friend,
Like cherries, grapes, and peas.
Apples and
oranges and peaches are fruits,
And so are tangerines.
Lettuce and carrots are vegetables,
Like
squash and lima beans.
|
Meat and
Alternates
Cows and
pigs and sheep make up
The meat that we eat.
Spare ribs, steak, or hamburgers,
We call this cooked food "meat"
"Poultry" refers to birds we eat,
Like chicken, duck, and turkey.
"Seafood" is fish and other things
That swim in water murky.

We're Going
To Make A Cake
(The Farmer
in the Dell)
We're
going to make a cake,
We're going to make a cake;
We're going to make it really big,
Because we all like cake.
Flour in
the bowl,
Flour in the bowl;
Stir it with a great big spoon,
Flour in the bowl.
(continue with sugar, salt, eggs, milk)
Put it in
the oven,
Put it in the oven;
Take care not to slam the door,
Until it's nicely cooked.
Icing on
the top,
Icing on the top;
Spread it with a big, flat knife,
Icing on the top.
We all have a piece,
We all have a piece;
Some for you and some for me,
We all have a piece. |

Egg-Thoughts
I do not
like the way you slide,
I do not like your soft inside,
I do not like your many ways,
And I could do for many days,
Without a soft-boiled egg.

Catch it if you can!

Before you eat,
A good health rule,
That's hard to beat.
For better work,
For better play,
Eat three good meals,
Every day. |

At cooked asparagus! |

Healthy
Habits
Be sure
to eat nutritious foods
To keep your body strong.
Too much candy, junk, and pop
Can do your body wrong.
Be sure
to get a lot of sleep
Each and every night.
You'll feel good in the morning
When your nighttime's right.
Be sure
to wash both your hands
And use a lot of soap.
Don't give cold and flu germs
Any kind of hope.

Carrots, beans, and broccoli -
They help us grow so healthily.

How do you
make a pizza grow?
How do you make a pizza grow?
You pound and you pull and you stretch the dough
And throw in tomatoes and oregano.
Pizza platter for twenty-two
Pour on the oil and soak it through.
Pizza slices for forty-four,
Chop up onions, make some more.
Pizza pie for sixty-six
With mozzarella cheese that melts and sticks.
Pizza, pizza for ninety-nine
With pepperoni sausage ground-up fine.
Pizza, pizza stretch the dough.
Pizza, pizza make it grow.

Oh. I wish I were a pepperoni pizza.
That is what I truly want to be.
But if I were a pepperoni pizza,
There would soon be nothing left of me!

M&M's
When we eat our M and M's
We eat the blue ones last.
We suck them very slowly,
We crunch them very fast.
We never eat the chocolate,
We always eat the shell.
When we eat our M and M's
We eat them very well. |

I thought I'd win the spelling bee
And get right to the top
But I started to spell "banana"
And I didn't know when to stop.

Lunch Box
Lunch box, lunch box
what's for lunch?
Peanut butter sandwich
and celery to crunch
Carrots and banana
and an apple to munch.
A bite and a bite

Now I'm heavy
and my lunchbox is light.

"Flip"...The
Pancake
My mom made
yummy pancakes
One cold wintry day.
I watched her mix and stir and whirl
The pancakes every way.
She spooned
some of the batter
Into the skillet hot.
It sizzled and it bubbled
Then out of the pan it shot!
Shed tossed my
pancake into the air!
It didn't even drip.
And when it landed on my plate,
I named my pancake "Flip."
