👀 Guess what’s back?! Returning from the recipe archives is our flavour-packed Mumbai Chicken! Taking inspiration from the Western region of India, we’re thinking global while eating local. 🌍❤️
Using juicy Ontario chicken thighs and a handful of aromatic seasonings that will ignite appetites, this is a delicious way to help raise adventurous eaters by introducing new herbs & spices while still staying mild enough for young palates.

The excitement of the FIFA World Cup may be over, but the celebration of cultures from around the world continues every day on our menu. 🌍⚽❤️
The tournament brought people together through the universal language of sport, and we're reminded of how RFRK celebrates that same spirit at the lunch table through food.
Every month, our menu features plenty of globally inspired meals, introducing new foods and encouraging food exploration through flavours and traditions from around the world. Inspired by cuisines from different countries & regions, we adapt these recipes thoughtfully with young palates in mind.
✈️ If lunchtime came with a passport, here's where our little foodies would've collected stamps this past month:
🇲🇦 Morocco/North Africa – Garbanzo Bean Tajine
🇵🇭 Philippines – Filipino Beef Giniling
🇮🇹 Italy – Pollo Cacciatore
🇲🇽 Mexico/Latin America – Tomato-Spinach Frijoles
🇫🇷 France – Ratatouille w/Organic Tofu
🇨🇳 China – Gong Bao Chicken

These step counts are absolutely WILD! 🤯
Throughout the entire month of June, our team laced up for RFRK's annual Step Challenge, turning everyday walks into some seriously impressive numbers. Together, our staff logged millions of steps, with our top three finishers setting the pace:
🥇 Richmond – 657,330 steps
🥈 Suraj – 639,345 steps
🥉 Tommy – 505,484 steps
To put that into perspective, Richmond alone walked the equivalent of around 500 kilometres over the month. That's some serious dedication. 👏
And while we're all about kids eating real food, this challenge was an awesome reminder that healthy habits like walking & staying active are another important way to help fuel healthy futures. 💚

How one request became a menu must-try! 💥⭐Our Gong Bao Chicken* hits those craveable flavour notes every time.
We created this recipe after one of our partner child care centres asked for more Chinese inspiration on the menu, and it's been a beloved real food favourite ever since. It’s made with organic Ontario chicken and a blend of seasonings including ginger & garlic. It’s served with Canadian quinoa or a whole wheat roll, bell pepper and seasonal stone fruit. All in all, this lunch is proof that introducing new foods & worldly cuisines is one of the best ways to encourage food exploration in kids.

Wishing everyone a fun, safe, and happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦❤️
While today is a chance to enjoy ourselves, it’s also a great opportunity to slow down & celebrate what makes Canada special: our diversity & inclusivity, the strength of our communities, and the beautiful land we all share.
Friendly reminder: with the heat sticking around across the GTA, don't forget to stay cool (take breaks in the shade whenever you can!) and drink lots of water. 💧

We're about to start a food fight... is it Curry Beef or Beef Curry? ⚔️🍛
Our Trinidadian Curry Beef is one of our recipes that causes the most friendly fiction, but it isn't dividing people because of how it tastes, it's because of what to call it. While you debate the name, we've taken care of the rest: the recipe is now live!
AND there's a plant-based version too, our Trinidadian Curry Tofu, because no one should miss out.
Created alongside an ECE from the RFRK community whose Trinidadian heritage inspired the dish, it's loaded with kid-friendly spices, hearty root vegetables, and a rich curry sauce. We know this one's been on a lot of wish lists, and we're so excited to finally share it.
Visit rfrk.com/real-food-recipes/trinidadian-curry-beef to make the beef version. Visit rfrk.com/real-food-recipes/trinidadian-curry-tofu to make the tofu version.

Swipe to see RFRK’s Pride Party! From games to music and scrumptious food, it was a great day.
🏳️‍🌈 No red flags here! 🌈 Our Pride Flag Matching Game encouraged us to look beyond the beautiful colours and learn what each flag represents. Add in a staff room dance party led by our very own DJ Tommy, and delicious Argentinian & Venezuelan food from LGBTQ+ owned restaurant Bar Bacan, the day was filled with moments that celebrated inclusivity & allyship while reminding us how we can create welcoming spaces for everyone in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
The assignment? Keep showing up for one another. How did you celebrate Pride this month? Let us know in the comments!

Our Banana-Spinach Sauce is bringing more green to the morning, and it comes with a super simple ingredient list: made with just apples, banana, spinach, and lemon juice!
It tastes like a fruit-forward sauce with the natural sweetness of the apples & bananas, with spinach joining in as a great way to add more dark leafy greens to snack time (Canada’s Food Guide recommends eating dark green veggies daily!). 🌱🍌🍎

Cool beans! 😎✨Our Tomato-Spinach Frijoles is a vegetarian lunch that delights omnivores too.
