It's Citrus Time!!
There is nothing better than eating a big, juicy orange...
while the snow is falling outside!

During the Holiday season,
we tend to over indulge in candy,
cookies, chips and dips.
We forget about all the lovely citrus fruits that abound this time of year.
Next time your at the grocery store,
pick up a bag of oranges, tangerines, grapefruit and
place a big bowl of citrus fruit on your Holiday Table!
