With back-to-school season in full swing, you may find yourself and your kids tiring of your usual lunch rotation. That\u2019s why grade 12 student and eco-advocate, Lacia Paige Cummings has created a sustainable back-to-school menu that will elevate lunch hour with a healthy and sustainable twist! <\/span><\/p>\n

Lacia was a winner of Tre Stelle\u2019s Cheese4Change<\/a> sustainable food youth program which encourages Canadian teachers and students to submit their sustainable recipes. With hundreds of entries from coast-to-coast, winning students received $500 and winning schools received $5,000!<\/span><\/p>\n

Canadian students got creative with recipes like \u2018Canadiana\u2019 Poutine made with organic potatoes and Canadian Mozzarella, and Paneer Bhurji with Tre Stelle Paneer and seasonal vegetables. Many students integrated fresh produce grown in their school or home gardens!<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspired by the recipes of her fellow Cheese4Change winners, Lacia created a kid-friendly menu featuring her winning pizza along with Caprese Skewers and a Ricotta Raspberry Smoothie to highlight kids\u2019 commitment to the planet and the importance of sustainability for her generation and those to come. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lacia chose Cheese4Change winner, Summer McPhee\u2019s caprese skewers for her menu because she knows everyone loves a fresh Caprese Salad.  She loved Summer\u2019s decision to make everything bite sized on a skewer as that made it irresistible to kids and adults alike.  Shake some olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a cup and let everyone dip at their leisure.   <\/span><\/p>\n
