Gratitude is at the top of our minds during November, and we want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your support to improve children's nutrition and wellness. Spread the attitude of gratitude this month with a variety of activities including a monthly gratitude calendar, writing a quick greeting card and more.
This comforting recipe features a hallmark flavor of fall — pumpkin! — and incorporates cashews, which are a good source of protein. Raw (not roasted) cashews are mild in flavor and become “milky” once soaked, so they can be blended into a creamy and rich sauce. Looking to boost nutrition? Experiment with vegetable add-ins like sautéed kale or spinach, steamed broccoli florets or peas.
Cooked farro has a nutty flavor and slightly chewy texture, both of which are particularly delicious in salads like this one. Use your favorite variety of apple to make this late summer and early fall salad. Sliced pears are a perfect match, too.

Expressing gratitude and consciously finding reasons to feel thankful are a mental health practice that can and should be introduced to kids at an early age.
