While we love our squashes, our root vegetables, our sturdy greens, let's face it: by the beginning of March, winter produce is feeling a bit tired. A bit old. A bit, well, boring.
Citrus -- especially citrus desserts -- are the brightest spots of winter, the things that brighten up our eyes, our plates, our meals. Soon, we'll trade our squashes for strawberries -- but for now we'll gladly hold onto our citrus.
