Are we really putting black beans in our brownies?

It’s not even 4:00 pm yet and students have begun to arrive.  They’ve gone through their usual routine of signing in, putting bags away, and immediately checking the agenda for the day. All of a sudden, faces turn and questions fly. “Are we really putting black beans in our brownies?” “Do we really have to use vegetables today?”                                                                                                    
I couldn’t helpbut smile. No, none of th e recipes were a shock to me and I personally enjoy each one. But I realized just how nuts the recipes seemed. The confused looks of our Brainfoodians gave me insight to the new challenge they were being presented with. 

Welcome to Brainfood, Ricki!

Hi there! My name is Ricki. I am one of the newest members of the Brainfood team. Part of our mission is to use food as a tool to build life skills. This is exactly what drew me to Brainfood. Food is a universal language that connects people from all backgrounds and walks of life. It is not only essential to us for nourishment but it is also a way to explore cultures and take healthy risks.
