Confession: I am wholeheartedly and utterly obsessive with everything pumpkin. In fact, ever since I was a little girl I had pumpkin pie as my “birthday cake” every November. I guess when you know, you know. There is zero shame in my pumpkin game. As much as I could go on and on about pumpkin, there are so many other fresh fruit and vegetable gems that are now in season. I can’t wait to bring you some new Fall recipes and meal ideas so that you can learn how utilize these amazing in season fruits and vegetables.
Remember that the key to smart grocery shopping is to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season so that you never spend more than you should. The produce will also be at their peak in regards to taste, look and feel. If you want to preserve them to last all year round you can freeze, can, or turn them into a jam! Expert tip for freezing: cut up/prepare the fruit or vegetable in the way that you would use them to allow for easier consumption and use when you thaw them out.
