What’s In Season |by Louise Goldberg RD CSP LD CNSC While hearty veggies, such as cabbage, are still in season, fresh fruits are a little harder to come by. This is a chance to make use of frozen, canned, or dried fruits, which can be just as nutritious and easy to find. Rolled Apricot and Almond Butter Balls Sweet as a dessert, but this recipe is fiber rich for a protein-packed snack. You can substitute any dried or dehydrated sulfitefree fruit for the apricots and any ‘nut’ butter (even sunflower seed butter for an allergic child) for the almond butter. Lentil Stuffed Cabbage Rolls When it’s cold outside, these cabbage rolls are just the meal to warm up your in sides. They feel like a lot of work but you can make enough to freeze for another meal and are worth it. 61
