Heron's Nest Updates and Information - November 2023

Need breakfast in the morning? No problem! The Heron’s Nest has Breakfast options available for students and faculty. Breakfast and lunch are available daily.

We are introducing delicious quick breads for breakfast on Wednesdays.  Currently we are serving Banana Coconut Chocolate Chip bread with fruit and milk.  (Gluten free banana bread and non-dairy milk options available).  Quick bread flavors may vary with the season and chefs’ inclination.

–We are also introducing a hot breakfast on Thursdays:  Oatmeal with Cinnamon-Maple Syrup and Craisin on the side.  Milk and non-dairy milk are always available.  Oatmeal toppings may vary, but we invite our students and community members to try a warm breakfast on these brisk Fall mornings.

–Shout out to Chef Tess for creating a wonderful new hot sauce that we have been pleased to serve at lunch.  We’ve dubbed it “Peachy Heat”:  a not-too-hot sauce made from peaches and peppers harvested from our very own garden. It’s great on wraps, rice and beans, and heck, just about anything.

–Get ready for a menu change after the Fall break!   There will be some old favorites (Turkey Italian sandwich, anyone?) and some new recipes as well.  Check the Nutrition page on the Great River School website soon for updated menu information.  Quarter 2 menu will be available starting Monday, November 27.

We look forward to serving you!

Your friends in the Great River kitchen, Dan, Tess and Julie
