As we gear up for another fall season, it’s a fantastic time to incorporate Brussels sprouts into our meals. Like many veggies, Brussels sprouts are versatile and can be used in many different ways! Whether you like to shave them thinly as the base of a salad or roast them until golden brown, they have excellent flavor.⁠
⁠
This October we’re thrilled to celebrate our partnership with @churchbrothersfarms . We hope you’ll join us in making all the cozy fall recipes this season!⁠

Every child deserves the opportunity to begin the school year with confidence, prepared to learn, grow, and thrive. However, research consistently shows that food and nutrition insecurity create obstacles to learning. At Brighter Bites, our goal is to ensure children are nourished so they can flourish. That’s why Brighter Bites offers families more than fresh food. We provide the tools, knowledge, and support families need to build healthier futures both at home and in the classroom.⁠
⁠
Join us as we are transforming lives one bite at a time, one lesson at a time, one student at a time. Help ensure that more children walk into the classroom ready to learn and families have the resources they need to build brighter, healthier futures.⁠
