It's said that the kitchen is the heart of the home, and I certainly want everyone to feel at home in the Wilson Kitchen. We've made some changes in the prep areas and dining room, so here is a mini culinary GPS to help you navigate Cheffie's Cafe. The 2 cupboards next to the dining room door are still being tidied, and by next Monday 12/15 they will house coffee cups, papergoods and all items used for decorating and entertaining for birthdays and other occasions like parents night. Space will be left to accomodate any items brought in for events. Also in these cupboards will be pens, markers, and scissors. The shelves above Cheffie's desk are where all the snack items live. The milk and juice reside in the double decker fridge next to the stove. Plastic utensils, napkins and such are on the shelves directly across from the steam table and salad bar. Take out containers and food storage bags are located under the tray table. Every Monday a basket of coffee packets, sweetener, and a qt. of 1/2 and 1/2 are placed in the faculty room. Saltines and apples are available from snack through all lunch periods in the dining room. Should you require any item not mentioned above, please ask JR or myself and we'll be happy to oblige. As always we welcome requests and suggestions, and will keep you posted as the sauce thickens at Cheffie Central.
Have A Delicious Day!

Healthy Holidays
Below is a link to an intersting study on school lunches:
http://www.childtrends.org/Files//Child_Trends-2008_11_17_RB_SchoolFoodPolicy.
Christmas cookies, pieces of pie, so many temptations! Not wanting to be a grinch, Cheffie suggests having your favourite traditional treats, and creating balance by making healthy meal choices, especially at lunch. Fresh fruit is available at snack and lunch daily. Choose carrot or celery sticks if you need some "crunch" on your tray. Craving something sweet? 1% chocolate milk can satisfy the sweet tooth, and makes a great dessert with a crisp apple or ripe banana. New low fat, low sodium snacks and menu items will be appearing soon, and please send in suggestions and request and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Speaking of Christmas Cookies..."Hearth to Heart" is our project that will bake
cookies for several area charities, see the Weekly News for details.
Watch this space to keep up with our kitchen capers.
