Though summer produce may be more colorful, the winter months bring heartier vegetables to center stage, such as hard squashes and cabbages. If you have a farmers’ market in your area this time of year, put fresh finds to good use by preparing one of the entrees below, each starring a different seasonal ingredient.
![]() You can’t go wrong with soup and a sandwich, and this one features nutritious winter broccoli at its best. Pair the soup with a Sausage and Cheese Panini to create a meal suited for a cozy night in. |
![]() In this hearty entree, double-cut pork chops are filled with a savory stuffing that includes butternut squash, celery and Granny Smith apples. Serve with roasted potatoes and Swiss chard for a farmers’ market inspired feast. |

These recipes all look great! I think I’d like to try the chicken with root vegetables and mushrooms and tofu in the next week or so, especially since they don’t need too much prep time. Thanks for keeping the seasons in mind!
