January is the peak season for citrus fruits, bringing a much-needed boost of juicy freshness, vivid color and powerhouse nutrition. You will find plenty of fresh citrus in the stores, on sale, at this time of year.
Two of my favorite ways to use these bundles of sunshine include an orange chia pudding and a cardamom-dusted brûlée. They look and taste special but are quick and easy for kids to make. Though they could be served as a snack or breakfast, call them desserts if the small cooks need further persuasion.
