Greek Seasonal Eating for Winter

[acamp7]

I am trying to be mindful of seasonality. I am on a quest to be healthier for the new year, and seasonality seems to be a positive step in the right direction. The Greek diet is very healthy, and the people eat seasonally in Greece. It's more practical, seasonal foods have more flavor, and I have noticed that seasonal foods are also less expensive. My grocery bills have gone up! Do you guys have any advice? So far, I have come up with cabbage (Greek cabbage rolls, cabbage salad) and I tend to love stifado and dishes like that this time of year. I feel like I am missing a lot of possibilities.

Hi acamp7
There are many options for your winter cooking. Spanakorizo (spinach rice) is a beautiful dish, gigantes or fasolada anre also great hearty dishes for the winter. Fakies, Kotosoupa augolemono, arni frikase, xoriono me patates sto fourno to name a few.

Seasonality can help save money for sure! Unfortunately seasonality is different depending on where you life. If you life in Florida, for example, there could be more than one growing season. If you live in a northern, colder climate, there might only be one growing season and it could be short. It all depends! Where do you live?
