Here we are again; in the land of delicious, seasonal vegetables! Sunchokes are definitely not commonly used, at least not where I'm from, and I actually hadn't heard of one until a few weeks ago. I've gathered a few recipes for you, as I do, and all of them make me glad that I know of the vegetable.

It took me a long time, but here I am: finally enjoying broccoli almost every way it's served. Although it's easy to get broccoli all year round, it actually tastes best in the fall/winter (it's more sweet, less bitter). Broccoli does a lot of great things for you, so here are some recipes to test drive if maybe the ol' raw broccoli thing isn't doing it for you!

Usually when you think of winter foods, fresh fruit isn't exactly the first thing to pop into your mind. Cold weather tends to put the kibosh on a lot of the fresh, seasonal fruits that grace our tables and restaurant menus when the weather is warmer... Fortunately for all you fresh food lovers out there, wintertime has its own crop of delicious fruits for the picking!

One of the best parts of winter is getting to indulge in hot beverages of all kinds, and especially this winter, I've become convinced that just about everything tastes better when you can drink it out of a mug.

In the U.S. where so many vegetables and fruits can be found all year round, it's easy to forget that these foods actually have seasons, for the most part. Since I don't want to show you the usual suspects (Broccoli!), I thought I'd share a few vegetables with you that you may never have heard of or seen!

If you're like me, you're a bear and hibernation is... no, wait, that's not right. Let me try again: If you're like me, you love bread and you'd love for your home to be filled with the scent of freshly baked something-or-other. I don't have a bread machine, myself, so I've looked around the internet to try and find some tasty sounding recipes that will be easy for anyone to throw together!

I love hot chocolate all year round, but this time of year is the best for this delicious drink. So I got to thinking... why stick with the same ole' same ole' hot chocolate? Why not experiment a little? I've collected a few different recipes that may replace the usual for you and your family!

Fans of Middle Earth rejoice! Last night heralded the premiere of the long-awaited first installment of The Hobbit trilogy in Wellington, New Zealand, and what better way to celebrate the release of the film than to do what hobbits (and dwarves) do best? Feast!
