Warm and Tasty Winter Vegetables!
There are many great vegetables we enjoy during the winter months. While the foods we probably most think about during that time are the turkey, the ham, and the desserts, the vegetables really play an important role – both in that holiday meal and for the rest of the winter.
Everyone has their must-have vegetable at the dinner table. Here is a list of all of the warm and tasty winter vegetables you should really be taking advantage of this year when they are in season.
* Beets
This is a great vegetable to enjoy all winter long. Fall to spring these is in season. They are sweet, especially when roasted and make a great addition to a salad. So enjoy that garden salad all winter long with some fresh roasted beets on top.
* Broccoli
While this is a vegetable enjoyed year-round, the winter months are really the season for broccoli. It tastes its best when harvested in the cooler temperatures because it is sweeter and less bitter. Broccoli is great added to casseroles or just steamed as a side dish.
You don’t have to do much to it for this vegetable to taste delicious. And if you get fresh broccoli in the winter when it is sweeter, the kids are more apt to like it. No need to cover in cheese and gravy when you have fresh winter broccoli.
* Cabbage
