☆ Weekend Special: Build Your Own Omelette This weekend at Recess, you’re the teacher’s pet — because you get to make the rules. We’re letting you decide what you’d like in your special! Build your own omelette and choose from: green peppers, sautéed mushrooms, cheddar, sautéed spinach, ham & onion. Your omelette comes with a side of toast, because every good breakfast needs a little something on the side.

☆ Soup of the Week: Roasted Kabocha Squash Soup A subtly sweet soup with hints of ginger & celery. A smooth and subtle taste to warm us up from all the rain and get us in the fall spirit.

☆ Featured Treat: Pumpkin Cream-Cheese Muffins 🎃 We’re excited for fall (can you tell)! We’re bringing in the season with our pumpkin muffins, filled with a creamy cream-cheese centre. The perfect little treat to enjoy with your coffee and get you in the fall spirit.

We’ll have plenty of other treats ready for the weekend, so we look forward to seeing everyone who’s able to come out! That’s all for this week — class dismissed! 𓃬
