Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 150
I have a choice: sulk about the winter cold or rise above and embrace it. Admittedly, I’m not the bravest soul in chilly weather, which is partly why Northern California is home for us. Yet, we do get our share of frosty mornings and evenings, and you’ll often find me all wrapped up and shivering.
However, winter also brings with it the joy of warm, comforting meals. So, let’s toast to the winter season. And to capture the spirit, here’s a fun little quote that says it all!
“Chilly nights, sumptuous feasts, the essence of winter’s charm.”
Happy Winter to you my friends!
Personal Note from Janine
I’m constantly freezing come winter, bundled up like the little brother in A Christmas Story!
So you can imagine that whenever my husband says he’s whipping up his killer chicken soup, you bet I’m all in for that dinner plan.
The funny thing is that a pot of soup broth is almost always bubbling away on our stove. The guy’s obsessed with making these chunky, veggie-packed soups.
Thanks to his soul-warming soups and my collection of fuzzy socks, I’ve started to enjoy winter a bit.
There’s something really special about snuggling indoors and making our place the ultimate cozy retreat.
So try out some of these delicious dinner recipes. They’re sure to make winter a whole lot cozier.
Cheers,
