The holiday season, for many of us, is the busiest time of the year. Managing the food, the family, the stress, and the shopping, the holidays can be an extremely difficult time to stay on top of your to-do list. Holidays are meant for cozy nights by the fire, spending time with family, and eating delicious food. Check one thing off the holiday to-do list by saving and cooking some of the in-season holiday recipes below instead of frantically trying to hunt for holiday recipes.
Foods eaten in season contain peak nutrients and generally put less of a dent in your budget than if purchased out of season. Eating the most nutritious and freshest ingredients can make or break your holiday budget. Whether you want to grow your own fresh produce, stop by a farmers’ market, or shop at your local grocery or co-op, the following hints and tips will lead you to the freshest produce and where to find it in order to stay healthy and budget friendly this holiday season.
