Launching the Kidco Kitchen Menu!

I cannot believe that the moment has arrived! I am out West this week at the Vancouver, Richmond and North Vancouver sites launching the new Kidco Kitchen menu! At the Kidco Kitchen we believe in “building healthy bodies and minds.” I have been creating this new menu since the summer, working closely with our dietitian, ensuring that our food is nothing but healthy for your little ones. The entire new Kidco Kitchen menu is made from scratch.

 

On Monday, I landed in Vancouver and it’s been go, go, go ever since. I made sure to pack my chef whites as I’ve been working directly with Shelly and Jenny, our Vancouver chefs, on cooking up this brand new menu.  I’ll make sure to take some delicious pictures. I’ll be available at the Richmond, Vancouver and North Vancouver sites this week for a question & answer session for our parents. If you have any questions, or just want to see what’s on the new menu, feel free to stop in! Ask your site directors for more information.

 

This week in Vancouver, we will be serving many delicious foods like Tofu Mac & Cheese, a Rootin’ Tootin’ Roast Beef Sandwich and one of my favourites, Butter Chicken! Yum! Want to try making some of our new menu at home with your children? Try this recipe!
