You have probably heard me talk about the benefits of eating seasonally, and locally when possible.
As the days get shorter and the nights get cooler, it is a great time to start rotating winter vegetables into your meal plan.
Most of us think of root vegetables, like parsnips, turnips, carrots, and celeriac, in the winter. And these are a great addition to our winter meals.
But there are plenty of vegetables that grow through the winter months.
Favorite standbys like broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts, thrive this time of year.
And don't discount your leafy greens (and colors) either!
Kale, escarole, chard, endive, and radicchio are abundant in cooler weather.
There are many more options to add to your plate as the weather changes.
Get creative!
I like to keep things simple, yet delicious, in the kitchen.
One of my favorite things to do is make pans of mixed roasted vegetables.
It is simple.
It is delicious.
It provides variety.
I can use whatever I have on hand!
Take Action
