Midwestern menu

Lauren Gold
Lauren is a master's student at Medill here in Chicago. She loves new media, exploring the city and collecting recipes for meals that she never makes.

The trees may be bare, but don’t think nature has completely abandoned us. There are still plenty of fresh produce and vegetables native to the Midwest to warm up your meals. The Midwest is home to grains, legumes and root vegetables this time of year. Take a look at the collage below to explore your winter options, and click on the plus signs for all the juicy details.

Taste it yourself:
