Tuesday, June 30, 2009.
It's warm and slightly humid outside with a chance of rain. But it's cool inside and I went straight comfort food.
Today's plate includes:
Hershey Farm's own slow roasted pot roast (with carrots and celery and tender chunks of roast)
Green Beans (again, I try to be good!)
Mashed Potatoes (what do you eat with your pot roast?)
I also splurged today and picked up two oatmeal raisin cookies. Soft and chewy they finished off my meal perfectly. In fact, I could go for another one...

It's Monday, June 29, 2009.
Today's plate includes:
Garden Salad (from the salad bar, I combined lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, purple cabbage, hard boiled egg, cheddar and mozz cheese, and croutons, YUM)
Roast Turkey with gravy
Brown Buttered Noodles
All in all I say this plate is a perfect way to say HI to Monday!

Plate A Day for Thursday, June 25, 2009.
Our Bakery Manager, Krystal, shares her lunch with us for today's Plate a Day.
Krystal's Plate Includes:
Garden Salad with Ranch Dressing (her favorite)
Hershey Farm's Famous Fried Chicken

Macaroni Salad
Cold Coca Cola

Today's Plate A Day for Wednesday, June 24, 2009.
Meat loaf
Real Mashed Potatoes (I just noticed that my helping of mashed potatoes takes up 1/3 of the plate. What can I say? I like potatoes)
Fresh Broccoli (I try to be good!)
Roll
As you can see I added a bit of butter to the potatoes. I could have saved my time though, they didnt need any. The broccoli was perfect and not over cooked. I havent enjoyed our meatloaf in a while but I know I will soon. It was juicy with tons of flavor. Yum.

As an employee I eat lunch at Hershey Farm Restaurant 5 times a week. While filling my plate one day last week I wondered how many different lunches it is possible to make from the more than 100 delicious items featured on the Grand Smorgasbord, Soup, Salad and Bread Bar, not forgetting the Full Dessert Bar.
I invite suggestions and comments as I begin what I feel will be a lengthy (and tasty) endeavor.
Starting Tuesday, June 23, 2009, I chose all of my personal favorites that could fit on one plate (as good a place to start as any, I think).
Here is what I came up with:
A crisp and juicy piece of Hershey Farm's Famous Fried Chicken
Fresh green beans
Sweet corn
Baked sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping (who needs dessert? I'll take a second helping of these please)
Stay Tuned for the next 'Plate A Day' Lunch!

At the Bakery at Hershey Farm you can find freshly baked breads (here is a picture of freshly baked white loaves. you wouldn't believe how fantastic they smell!) including cheese, iced apple, and white and whole wheat loaves.
The Bakery's quickbreads are delicious as a dessert with a side of ice cream or griddled with melted butter for a breakfast treat. Quickbreads are available in a variety of flavors including (but not limited to) Triple Berry, Zucchini, Shoofly, and my personal favorite, Cinnamon.
The Bakery at Hershey Farm also boasts the best whoopie pies in the area. Really, these whoopie pies were voted the #1 Whoopie Pies in Lancaster County. Available in chocolate, red velvet (shown) and pumpkin.
Hershey Farm offers a selection of their freshly baked Bakery items on the dessert bar including soft cookies (chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, sugar) and a wide selection of pies and cakes.
Favorites, including apple pie and Lancaster Co's traditional wet bottom shoofly pie (shown), are available for purchase in the Bakery as well as online.
Visit the Bakery at Hershey Farm and you'll be smiling on your way home!
