Frugal Luxuries - the art of eating by the season

[homesteadmamma]

Have any of you mastered this - eating by the seasons and making it an art.

Tracey has a Harvest Calendar on pg 70/71 but in looking at it, it is very hard for me to do this. I have tried, but in the winter here, the only thing in season is snow!!

I do this during the summer months though with great success. We eat veggies out of our garden and fruit that is grown right here in Manitoba. We can also do this a bit in the fall.

But in the winter and spring months, we are at the mercy of grocery stores and we eat what is at a good price, not what is in season. So we eat lots of apples, bananas and then we purchase frozen veggies if I run out of ones from our freezer.

How about you. Do you eat in season?

I eat in season as much as I can, but we too, seem to be at the mercy of the stores. We eat whatever is on sale. Right now, chicken and pork have been cheap, so guess what we have in the freezer and on the table?
