New snack basket
Taste the real-fruit goodness of Newton Mixed Berry Fruit Crisps or crunch on something salty like Late July Bite Size Cheddar Cheese Crackers. Have a sweet tooth? How about some gourmet cookies like Immaculate Baking Company Chocobillys.
Breakfast (5 AM - 9 AM)
Start the day off right with a choice of two hot entrees like a spinach tomato strata served with roasted potatoes and turkey sausage or cheese blintzes with blueberry sauce. Or, choose something on the light side like granola and yogurt. Either way, we'll serve your breakfast with a warm biscuit and fresh fruit.
Lunch (9:01 AM - 3 PM)
It's time to recharge! Your midday meal includes a fresh salad and appetizer like a Mediterranean bruchetta with mozzarella. For your entree, choose a hot meal like roasted teriyaki chicken breast with sugar snap peas and jasmine rice or something lighter like a classic cobb salad with Italian herb vinaigrette. To finish, indulge in a red velvet square with chocolate sauce or another delicious dessert.
Dinner (3:01 PM - 8 PM)
Feeling hungry? Dine on a fresh salad and an appetizer like beef and lentil salad with hummus. You'll be delighted with an entree like braised beef short rib topped with stone ground mustard sauce and served with red skin mashed potatoes and haricot vert. Make it a sweet ending with dessert, such as turtle cheesecake with caramel sauce.
