Marvelous Monday Morning!☀️❤️ From our cafeteria manager, Cindy Elizondo: Today, Patricia is making Migas con Huevo for the first time on our menu, and it brought back such a beautiful memory for me—my grandma making migas for my siblings and me. 🥹❤️ There’s just something special about scratch cooking. When we cook from the heart, with love and care, we’re not just preparing a meal—we’re creating memories and bringing a little taste of home to our students. 👩‍🍳🍳 I’m so happy our little Rayburn Rockets get to enjoy a delicious breakfast made with love today! 🚀💙🧡 Thank you, Patricia, for putting your heart into the meal! ❤️
