Winter's Forgotten Veggies (and how to actually use them)

What marrying an Englishman taught me about seasonal eating.

In this episode, I’m sharing how British food culture, yes even beans on toast, completely reshaped the way I approach fall and winter cooking. From growing up on Midwest comfort food to learning how to actually cook root vegetables, winter squash, and hearty greens, this is a story about expanding our food horizons, honoring seasonal produce, and building confidence in the kitchen.

We talk cozy UK food traditions, why some “weird” foods make more sense than we think, and how learning to cook unfamiliar ingredients helped me connect more deeply to food, culture, and family life. I also walk through a list of lesser-loved fall produce and share simple, realistic ways to work them into your weekly meals without a culinary degree required.

If you’ve ever felt stuck cooking the same things on repeat or unsure how to use seasonal produce, this episode is for you. It’s an invitation to try something new, let food be a source of connection, and enjoy this season one meal at a time.

PINTEREST SEARCH TERMS: ("x vegetable" dinners) aka, "Beets Dinners", "Leeks Dinners", "Winter Squash Dinners", and so forth. You can also search "Winter Produce Meal Ideas" and be less specific, but I believe that specificity yields better, more targeted results while leaving you space to get creative.
