Summer has its own specialties, but winter can definitely give it a run for its money. You can’t lose with winners like roasted brussels sprouts, collards served with a holiday ham, or pecan and date filled cookies. Casserole ideas are endless.
While flavors and prices are their best, take advantage of the season to literally warm the kitchen with your oven while cooking up foods that will serve more than just one meal. And while you’re at it, these healthy options are great for keeping the immune system active to naturally ward off colds and flu. Instead, spend those doctor visit fees on enjoying winters bounty!
As festive as chestnuts over an open fire can be, it isn’t all about the holidays. Whether your need is a simple meal for one, healthy snacking or setting a festive atmosphere with decorative winter squash, rely on these fruits and veggies to get you through the season.
