A Note from Kim
Snow Day = Comfort Food
These snow day recipes are made for the kind of cold that has you cranking the heater a little higher than usual and turning a dreary day into something to savor. When the weather turns chilly, comfort food is a must, warm, cozy recipes that fill you up and feel hearty, satisfying, creamy, and steaming hot. I love making dishes like my cheeseburger casserole, spaghetti and meatballs, beef stew or classic potato soup when everyone’s home and the kitchen becomes the hangout. They’re easy, flavorful, and perfect for snowed-in afternoons!
With love (and lots of good eats),
