Winterfest 2021: Holiday Fare

In years past at this time Miller’s Fresh Foods would be gearing up and looking forward to their annual Taste of the Season Extravaganza!! Unfortunately this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Miller’s Fresh Foods will not be able to host the 2021 Taste of the Season event. So sadly, there will be no tasting and sipping…but on a brighter note, we will have a 2021 Taste of the Season “Blast from the Past #3” Recipe Book, filled with a collection of lots of our favorite recipes from the past 12 years!!

Below are just two of the many delicious holiday meals and treats featured in the Miller’s Fresh Foods Taste of the Season cookbook! For a free will donation to the Community Ambulance Service of New Rockford, you can pick up your own copy on Dec. 15!
