Here's what's in season, what's flavorful, and how to make the most of it this month.

And be sure to check out the whole blog post here for allllll the details on what's in season (and on sale) in February.

🍠 This month, I'm focusing on citrus and root veggies.

They're at their peak right now, and they're perfect for adding brightness (hello, The Pop!) and depth (that's The Oomph!) to your cooking.

Have you seen the viral cheese stuffed sweet potatoes making the rounds on social media? I regret to inform you that they're delicious and here's why:

Roasting the potatoes caramelizes the sugars which helps to sweeten and deepen their flavor, and using a sharp cheddar cheese or mild gouda makes a cheesy, unctuous, and satisfying snack (or girl dinner 💁🏻‍♀️).

If you're new to thinking about flavor this way, check out The Flavor Factors. It's my framework for making food taste incredible without overthinking it.

👩🏻‍🍳 Here are a few ways to use what's in season right now:

• Citrus: Squeeze it over roasted veggies, zest it into baked goods, or make a simple syrup for drinks
  ​
• Root vegetables: Roast them with olive oil and flaky salt, or mash them for a cozy side dish
  ​
• Winter greens: Sauté with garlic and finish with lemon juice for instant brightness
