NBFA Chef and Food Service Supervisor Todd Daigle in the renovated NBFA kitchen.

Each month, NBFA Chef and Food Service Supervisor Todd Daigle will provide healthy tips on the recipe to give more options for taste or dietary restrictions. 

  • Don't like spicy? Substitute the jalapeño pepper for a green bell pepper.
  • Don't have black beans? Try using pinto beans.
  • Don't have sea salt? You can use table salt.

We encourage you to share your experiences making the Recipe of the Month. Please share photos, videos, and suggestions on FacebookTwitter, and Instagram @NBFAcademy.
