I am going to challenge my family to buy more vegetables and fruits that are in season this month. I buy in season now because that is the only option when buying organic produce and vegetables. It was really startling when there was an item that was not available because it was not in season. We shouldn't see a summer crop in the winter. It gives you a greater appreciation of food and you look forward to your favorite fruit or vegetable coming into season. When these fruits and vegetables come into season, they are usually on sale.
This is also challenging me to try new recipes. I want to switch things up a little because I am getting in a little bit of a rut, with the same vegetables and fruits. I don't want to go a whole year with missing out on a certain fruit or vegetable. There is nothing better than an in season fresh vegetable or fruit.
