Kitchen Newsletter January 2013

Happy New Year to the students, staff and families of Wolfville School! We hope everyone had a relaxing and funfilled holiday. In January we will be offering Billy Bobs Pizza on Mondays. For only $1.50 you can get an elementary slice of cheese, veggie or Hawaiian pizza with milk. Add some Veggies and Dip or a Fruit Cup for only $1.00 more to make it a balanced meal. Tuesdays soup offering for January will be Chilly Weather Chili with crackers. Our vegetarian chili is chock full of delicious vegetables and beans, and topped off with a dash of cheddar cheese. Crackers will come with the chili. Wednesdays will be Creamy Mac & Cheez day! This perennial favourite is coming with a serving of veggies on the side to make this a complete meal. Baked Potato with Ham and Cheese will be the offering on Thursdays. If you would like to make this a vegetarian option it is possible to place your order in the morning and request no ham. Fridays are Sandwich Day and this month I am serving up Chicken Salad Sandwich, served with fresh veggies. We hope everyone enjoys our menu choices for the rest of the school year. If you have a great recipe that could work for our program we would love to see it! Drop by the kitchen or email us at:
