The start of a new year offers us a chance to pause and reflect. It is a time to consider goals and dreams, practices we wish to continue, changes we’d like to make, and accomplishments we want to work toward.
Whether you are kicking off 2024 with a full reset or a gentle refresh, we hope the calendar will inspire you in the kitchen and bring joy to your table, all year long.
Each month features a fruit or vegetable that grows in Vermont, matched with one of our favorite recipes for preparing it. Every recipe is simple to make, delicious, and uses just one fruit or vegetable as the primary ingredient. Download all 12 recipes below.
Sharing recipes is one of the many ways Vermont Foodbank works toward our vision of a Vermont where everyone:
- has equitable access to enough nourishing food every day
- takes action to eliminate hunger and poverty
- has what they need to thrive
