We are definitely in the thick of it now that these first snow storms (for the east coast) are really starting to become a reality. While you're at the store stocking up on the necessities, grab some fruits and vegetables that are delicious and inexpensive this time of year. Remember, purchasing produce based on when it is 'in-season' can save money and give you the best nutrition. Here are some in-season items to stock up on:
Fruit
Kiwi
Grapefruit
Oranges (clementines, tangerines, etc.)
Pomegranates
Vegetables
Winter squash
Broccoli
Beets
Brussel Sprouts

There are many more that are in-season right now, but these few will give you enough to work with while the weather is frightful. Steam 'em, roast 'em, eat them raw or even try them in a soup (butternut squash soup is a favorite of mine).
