Hope everyone is hungry -- here's what Healthy World Cafe has planned for lunch from 11:30 to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27:
  • Chicken and rice soup
  • Carrot and ginger soup
  • Vegetable and cheese quiche or strata
  • Carrot and cabbage slaw
  • Twice-baked potato topped with corn beef hash
  • French dip sandwich
  • Dried fruit cookies
Of course, our menu is always based on whatever is available from our farmer friends, so stay tuned for updates!

At Healthy World Cafe, we always feature our "eat what you want, pay how you can" philosophy.  The ability to pay should never be a barrier to accessing delicious, unprocessed, healthy food.  Take out orders are available by emailing your selections (by 10 a.m. Feb. 27) to healthyworldcafe(at)gmail(dot)com.
