When I shop Brookshire Brothers' produce, one of the things I always pick up is bananas - the ultimate healthy on-the-go snack with just enough carbohydrate to give you a boost. But I always seem to end up with an extra overripe banana here and there. Am I the only one who has a ridiculous number of overripe bananas squirreled away in my freezer? Other than using those bananas in smoothies, a fantastic way to use an abundance of overripe bananas is in banana bread.

Who doesn't love February? After all, this oddly spelled month is synonymous with romance, flowers, butterflies in the stomach - and a groundhog for some reason. I would venture to guess that more couples get engaged or married in February than any other time of year. And although I can't back that up with real statistics, we all know that February and our hearts are forever linked.    

Organizations that lay the foundation for stronger communities will have more resources to help them help others thanks to Brookshire Brothers.

The grants give organizations the resources they need to continue living out their mission of serving those in need.

Eat better. That’s what we all plan to do at the start of every year after coming off the holiday binge on all things delicious. If we could just eat better, then we might fit into that pair of jeans we’ve been keeping around just in case. And with all that extra energy we might even get around to finishing those Pinterest projects — all 3,674 of them.
