Express & Organized Menu Week of April 14 to 18, 2025

This week's menu

Pulled pork kicks off a week full of Tex-Mex and Asian flavours! Made in a generous batch in the slow cooker, it turns into tempting nachos and tops a hearty poutine (fries with cheese curds and gravy). The spicy honey chicken ramen adds an Asian touch, while the sheet-pan cheeseburgers offer a reinvented family classic. A varied week that makes the most of base proteins for a different meal every day!
