In New England and across the country, winter has arrived. With it comes warm socks, extra blankets, and comfort foods to keep our bodies warm inside and out.
The daylight is shorter and the temperatures are cooler but that doesn’t mean there isn’t an abundant amount of fresh and ripe produce hitting the markets. There’s no better reason to fire up the oven for a healthy, hearty dish than a cold winter day!
Here are nine of our favorite winter vegetables and fruits, with recipes to match.
Winter Vegetables
Sweet Potatoes (Sweet Potato Hash with Egg)
