Eating in season
A food blog dedicated to using fruits & vegetables when they are in season.
New year, new recipes.
Produce currently in season: January
After indulging over the holidays, a good soup or salad is a nice change of pace. January is the perfect time to use root vegetables, mushrooms, and citrus fruit.
Available fruits & vegetables for January 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
