As the days grow shorter and the nights turn colder, hearty stews, soups, sausages, squash and casseroles appear on the menu. It is also the time of year for new seasonal adventures like snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and even ice fishing!
Although the weather has changed, you can still enjoy fruits and vegetables like crisp apples, elegant pears, sweet potatoes, hearty potatoes, and savory squashes. Walking is also an activity for all seasonsÂ…enjoy a bird-watching hike, an evening stroll as snow gently falls, or perhaps a scenic trek. Even chores like scooping snow or chipping ice can help keep you active this winter.
When you come in from the cold, try a new flavor to fit the season--like sweet potato chips, candied butternut squash with maple syrup, or herb-crusted pork chops with cinnamon applesauce. Or, try one of Healthy Choice's traditional home-style meals such as Grilled Turkey Breast made with lean turkey tenders, and covered in a sweet cranberry-apple sauce. Another cool-weather favorite is Healthy Choice Traditional Turkey Breast made with an herb stuffing.
