Crazy Carrots



Well it's been a while. Time has passed, the season has changed and here we are at the beginning of winter. Thanks to the greenhouses and root cellars at many a local farm, Erica's Kitchen is full of hardy winter greens, lettuce mixes, micro greens and root vegetables, like these beautiful carrots! They are a deep, dark purple on the outside and then bright yellow or lighter purple with beautiful markings on the inside, I'm in love! The Hudson Valley is full of wonderful sustainable farms and food producers, who are helping those of us on a mission to eat locally to continue on our paths, even when they are covered with snow and ice. No farms, no food, it's that simple and simply how it should be.
