Big Ol' Bag of Veggies

The Flavour Savour, C. Kernick

The Flavor Savour fills up a big ol' bag with winter veggies...and cooks! It's called Winter in a Bowl...oh yeah! 

 

Here's a stick-to-your-ribs meal, or side dish if you desire, that uses all of the Winter Market bounty to create a heart and belly warming mid-winter treat.

 

 Find the recipe here.
