Chuck Hughes Serves up Great Kid Fare from Scratch!

Deep fried food has been a staple in schools across Canada for too long. Unfortunately, school administrations don’t always have the funds or the equipment to provide healthier options to their students.

Realizing that a drastic change needed to be made, the École Camille J. Lerouge School applied for, and received, a $25,000 Hellmann’s Real Food Movement Grant to refurbish their kitchen appliances to provide kids with healthy lunch items everyday.

To make the menu changes even more exciting, real food advocate Chuck Hughes created a “kid-friendly” nutritious and delicious recipe for this school.

Below is the Chuck Hughes original, made-from-scratch Chicken Finger recipe being added to the École Camille J. Lerouge School real food menu, as of Monday, February 13th. This custom recipe is sure to be a hit with kids and loved by parents too!
