    Winter Recipes

    When the weather starts getting cold, the way we cook changes drastically. When I think of Winter Recipes, I think of warming, cozy, hearty foods. Soups start making their way into the weekly rotation and Sunday Pastas with red sauce are on the menu every week. I start spending more time cooking inside on the stove and the grill gets shut down for the season. 

    Want to warm up the winter chill? Try some of our hearty winter recipes likeย White Bean Lentil Soup,ย Authentic Italian Braciole, or Zuppa Toscana.
