INGREDIENT OF THE MONTH: ORANGES

The monthly prix fixe menu features oranges, which are perfect for a healthy start to the new year.

* There are various types of oranges, some of which include clementines, kumquats, minneolas, satsumas and uglis.
* Choosing an orange as a snack instead of a serving of chips or cookies can save 200 calories a day, which can translate into increased weight loss - up to 21 lbs. a year.
