If one of your new year’s resolutions was to eat more fruits and veggies but you’re not really sure where to begin, we are here to help! For the next month, we will be taking common, in-season, fruits and veggies and giving you lots of fun and easy ways to integrate them into your meals! We’ll teach you how to store them to make them last longer, how to use them in different meals, and what kind of health benefits they can offer.

Here are some fun and easy ways to eat carrots this month:
