Eating in season
A food blog dedicated to using fruits & vegetables when they are in season.
It's holiday season!
Produce currently in season: December
December is for hearty root-vegetable soups and stews, but it's also the start of citrus season. Available fruits & vegetables for December will vary based on your location.
Vegetable of the month: winter squash
A bunch of types of winter squash are available all winter long, like butternut squash and spaghetti squash. They store well, even in your own pantry. The ones I've harvested in fall from my garden easily last all winter - through March.
Plan ahead for your 2025 garden
