Lunches at Lupine Lane offer your child a wholesome, nutritious, hot meal each school day. Your child will have the experience of trying new foods and the opportunity to learn about food, culture and develop their palette!
Each meal is healthy and balanced, with a serving of protein, carbohydrate and vegetables every day.
To develop our menu, we begin each meal with child-friendly foods that are tried and true. We create combinations that are based on these familiar ingredients, even to the most discerning young palettes and add notes of flavor and new foods that encourage kids to branch out. We combine fresh vegetables with wholesome fan-favorites like pastas, brown rice, quinoa and other whole grain starches and add lean protein like chicken, beef, legumes and mild fish.
Lupine Lane began in 2008, offering cooking classes to children; we learned about and cooked from a different culture every month. Now, our monthly lunch menus and culture special (which all children receive whether they eat lunch or not) intertwine. Each month has a regional focus, zoning in on specific areas of the region weekly. The kids learn about each region’s culture while eating food from that particular place at lunch. Familiar items are combined with new ingredients and preparation methods to slowly integrate and introduce the exciting array of cuisines from different cultures.
This unique opportunity to grow, prepare and enjoy new foods encourages an open-mind to both food and cultures, while nurturing developing skills and knowledge and building relationships with fellow classmates of all ages and the adults involved. By giving your child a meal plan at Lupine Lane, you not only free yourself of preparing and packing lunch each day, knowing your child will have a hot, nutritious and delicious meal but, most importantly, you open the doors to a world of food and experience that encourages a sense of inquiry in a supportive learning environment.
