Serious Winter Cooking: Root Vegetables

During my holiday grocery shopping earlier this week (at The Wedge Co-op in Minneapolis) I came across one farm's clever marketing idea that I just had to share with all of you. Harmony Valley Farm in Wisconsin is packaging a selection of root vegetables and selling them as "soup mix." I thought it was a nice bit of up-marketing on their part, and a good reminder that people in even the chilliest climates can access locally grown foods. In honor of hearty pioneers and people who seek out local foods where eating locally isn't always easy, I put together 10 Great Ways to Use Root Vegetables. Enjoy!
