Eating seasonally and locally are two great ways to stretch your food budget and be environmentally friendly. Here, we've compiled several healthy recipes using fall and winter ingredients.
Squash
Health benefits: Squash is high in vitamins A and C, which aid your body's metabolic functioning and help ward off chronic illnesses. However, some winter varieties, like butternut squash, contain more sugar than others, such as acorn and spaghetti squashes, so be knowledgeable about which kind you're buying if you're watching your calorie count.
Nutrition: Acorn squash (1 cup, raw): 56 calories, 0.1g fat, 14.6g carbohydrates, 2.1g fiber, 1.1g protein. Butternut squash (1 cup, raw): 63 calories, 0.1g fat, 16.4g carbohydrates, 2.8g fiber, 1.4g protein
