New Year - New You

4. Try a New Winter Veggie



We often post about seasonal fruits and veggies for several reasons: Because fresh fruits and vegetables taste better when they are bought in-season, because if you are shopping seasonally, you are most likely shopping at your local Farmer's Market and supporting the local economy, and because when you appreciate growing seasons you appreciate your food more.

 In the fall we ate pomegranates and apples every chance we got! Now with the colder weather, comforting winter vegetables are on our menus. Veggies like butternut squash, potatoes and carrots taste best at this time of year. Take advantage of the season!
