As a parent, is it important to you to: 

 

 

Well, the Kid's Kitchen hot lunch program delivers all this and more. As busy and health-conscious mothers ourselves, we want all our children - the seven biological children between the two of us, as well as the thousands served daily by Kid's Kitchen - to eat a healthy and balanced diet. When developing our menu, we realized that we needed to provide choices that satisfied not only the moms in us, but also the selective tastes of kids. With this in mind, our menu is filled with fresh, home-cooked and nutritious meals (including daily vegetarian options) along with many tried-and-true kid favourites.

 

Since we started in 2001, we have tried many different options with our menus - different dishes, weekly menu rotations, daily specials, you name it! However, with valued customer feedback we have developed an à-la-carte menu with a large variety of entrées, healthy side dishes and drinks to choose from every day. This provides the most choice and flexibility to our customers, and healthy meals the kids love.

 

And remember, our menu is 100% PPM-150 compliant.  All items meet Ontario government guidelines for restrictions on fat and sodium, and recommendations for protein and fibre, so you can feel good about ordering anything on our menu.  

 

A-la-carte Menu:

Our menus are designed to provide maximum choice and flexibility to parents when ordering. Our menus include:

 

• Lunch combo of the day complete with entrée, side item and drink 
• A large variety of entrees
• A healthy selection of side items, snacks, desserts and drinks to complement any meal

Our portion sizes are pretty generous and suitable for most children, and even satisfy an adult-sized appetite! Older children can simply order more items to suit their needs.  Just as our food choices themselves, our portion sizes are also developed within the guidelines of the government's PPM-150 regulations.

Menu Development

We spend a great deal of time researching and testing all items on our menu, which must meet various criteria before it is added to the list:

 

• Products must be available in food service.
• All recipes must be developed in our test kitchen.
• Items must pass taste tests.
• Items must be compliant with PPM-150 guidelines.
• Appropriate packaging must be available for safe storage and transport.
• Items are tested to see how the product holds and serves after packaging.

 

We are always looking for new menu ideas. If there is an item you would like to see on our menu please send us an email at information@kidskitchen.ca.
