To begin my challenge of cooking with seasonal and best priced fruits and veggies I thought it best to use a chart that has that information available. On http://www.dvo.com/newsletter/monthly/2004/august/remedy2.html this chart was handy so I decided to pull it and use it as a guide.
Fall provides many great choices to use for meals, and I love to cook, especially in the cool of the day, not to mention that if I want to use my oven, I don’t have to roast myself in the process of fixing a meal.
The autumn list of fresh produce made available locally include: apples, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, collards, grapes, kale, pears, persimmons, pumpkins ( yum!), winter squash and yams. Of course, other produce is available at the grocery store and I’ll certainly make good use of all I can get.
Rabbit trail: What is with the mosquitoes this year!!!??? I am sitting outside and have been gnawed on by at least ten of those little creeps in less than 3 minutes. Time to spray down………. Ok, back to the work at hand.
