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
If you love to cook (or are just learning!), you can check out more recipes like these, as well as kitchen tips and tricks, in the VT Fresh section of our site. From the VT Fresh webpages, you can also become a Recipe Tester and sign up to get monthly recipes delivered straight to your inbox.
Wishing you a bright and tasty new year!
Vermont Foodbank Team
VT Fresh is funded in part by the USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. In Vermont, SNAP is called 3SquaresVT. It can help low-income people buy foods for a better diet. To find out more, contact Vermont Foodbank toll-free at 1-800-585-2265.
As we turn the page to a new year, we have the opportunity to reflect. To think about the goals and dreams we wish to pursue, the practices we want to continue, and the changes we’d like to embrace.
Across the state, the Foodbank is sharing recipes and cooking demonstrations with visitors at fresh produce distributions. Together, we’re making sure more people in Vermont can bring home the fresh food they want and need, along with information on how to prepare and enjoy it.
