Lunchbox magic
With labour day weekend in mind, this week's special includes our chef prepared party size Summerhill beef lasagna. It's saucy and cheesy and so good, you'll be hard pressed to find a better lasagna in the city. Just garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmigiano Reggiano and you've got dinner for a crowd. Also on special this week is our Rainbow trout, and Sirloin steak value pack, and our 4-pack Breakfast cinnamon buns because every long weekend deserves them.
With September's impending back to school arrival, deciding what to pack in those lunchboxes isn't easy. So we created a healthy and delicious prep list for you, 10 Ways To Make A Lunch Box Magic, (see below).

Top 10 Ways To Make A Lunch Box Magic.
1. Sandwiches or Wraps: Use whole grain bread or wraps and fill with lean proteins like sliced turkey, cheese slices, hummus, along with fresh veggies and avocado spread.
2. Bento Boxes: These are a great way to offer a balanced meal. Include compartments with fruits, vegetables, whole grain crackers or bread, cheese or yogurt, and a small treat like dark chocolate or our superfood granola.
3. Salad Jars: Layer a mason jar with your favourite salad ingredients like mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and cooked chicken or chickpeas. Use any of our yummy dressings and add first to bottom of jar, to keep veggies fresh, and teach them to shake the jar just before eating.
4. Pasta Salad: Use any of our prepared pasta salads with colourful vegetables like bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese. Toss it with our honey vinaigrette or creamy Greek dressing.
5. Snack Boxes: Pack a variety of healthy snacks like carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper slices, grapes, cheese cubes, and whole grain crackers. This allows your child to munch on different items throughout the day.
6. Homemade Soup or Stew: Invest in a good thermos and fill it up with any of our delicious homemade soup. This is great for cooler days and provides a warm and comforting meal option.
7. Quesadillas: Make nutritious quesadillas with soft tortillas, shredded cheese, and added vegetables like bell peppers, or mushrooms. Serve with Mad Mexican salsa.
8. Homemade Sushi Rolls: Our veggie sushi rolls are perfect, or make your own with cooked chicken, avocado, cucumber, and our prepared brown rice. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and pack with Tamari soy sauce.
Pack reusable containers and water bottles and involve your child in the packing process to ensure they enjoy their lunch and make healthy choices throughout the day.
