Introducing Our New Lunch Entrees

When it comes to providing delicious and nutritious meals for students, CKC Good Food has always been at the forefront. This season, we're thrilled to unveil a range of new on-trend entrees that will tantalize taste buds and offer a diverse culinary exploration. We realize the importance of updating our menus regularly to ensure happy eaters year after year and to tap into the latest flavors and dishes. Once again this year, Asian and Indian-inspired entrees were well received in our spring taste tests and brought forth for our fall menus. Our commitment to quality and flavor comes through in these delightful new meals, which conform to USDA guidelines for the National School Lunch Program and the Child and Adult Care Food Program.

Kudos to Recipe Development & Menu Coordinator Brandon Porter for bringing these new entrees to fruition!
