Got the Winter blues already?
With the excitement of the New Year behind us, winter and cold temperatures settling in, short days, resolutions waning and so on, it’s easy to feel down or stuck in a rut.
So why not bring some more color into your life with one of our produce baskets? Heat up that kitchen with some warming, seasonal dishes that will comfort and rejuvenate you!
Although we may not have as much local produce to offer compared to the summer and fall months, this is a great time of the year to experiment with some of the wonderful crops that are still available to us from our local farms. Root crops such as sweet potato, turnip, beets, carrots, and celeriac are quite versatile and can be enjoyed in many delicious ways.
Check out our sale and recipes below on some of these items.
Last week we discussed starting your day with warm lemon water and maybe even an immunity boosting elixir. This week we want to take it a step further, and offer encouraging suggestions to get you through these cold days. For instance, how about following your lemon water with a healthy, homemade fruit and/or vegetable smoothie? Using a traditional or handheld blender, you can easily create our own smoothies to boost immunity and fill you up with fiber and nutrients. As you’ll see below, we’ve included some yummy smoothie suggestions to inspire you.
If you're craving something warm and soothing, why not fill up a thermos to sip on some tea or an elixir through the morning? For lunch, there’s nothing quite like a comforting soup, and many of the root veggies mentioned above can be used to fill your bowls with something hot and tasty. We know that making through the day without a snack can be hard, so we’ve included a terrific recipe below that is sure to spice up your daily routine. Finally, whipping up a simple homemade dish made with local produce is a grounding and satisfying way to end your day.
This is an ideal time of the year to take care of yourself and make changes in your daily food routine. We hope you'll stay warm and inspired in your kitchen!

Cauliflower tastes delicious when roasted whole, grilled as a steak, or mashed like potatoes, but the cruciferous and protein-packed vegetable (11 grams per head!) really wins style points when it’s chopped up into tiny nutritious morsels.
