10 Recipes to Help Escape the Winter

Winter is coming and we’re not ready!  What to do when it’s freezing outside and you want to warm up inside and dream about spring and summer?

Even on the coldest days and snowiest storms you can find solace in food. Sometimes you might just want to hunker down with some cozy and hearty comfort food. But when you want to escape to the warmer seasons in your mind and in your food here are 10 recipes to help you out. 

WINGS

Wings are my ideal summer go-to, anytime I get to try a different type of buffalo wing I am one happy camper.  For the adventurous there’s the Strawberry Jalapeño BBQ Chicken Wings.  If you like something with minimal prep time, go for the Slow Cooker Mole Chicken Wings which take so little work for such a delicious result.  And if you’re looking for an update on a classic recipe, try the Buffalo Turkey Wings with Non Dairy Ranch.

SPICY SOUPS

Soup may not be the first thing that crosses one’s mind when they think “paradise”, but to each their own.  Spicy soup is always welcome in my home, no matter what the weather, the spice helps put the life back into things.  Fish Soup and Vegetarian Hot and Sour Soup are both loaded with flavor and healthy ingredients to keep your energy up despite whatever weather you may have to face.  Or try a stew such as the Brazilian Feijoada to transport you the colorful (and warm!) streets of Brazil.

COCKTAILS

What’s that you say..paradise requires a drink in hand?  Have no fear, a cold, hard drink provides for a delightful escape in any and all temperatures.  Have some fun with a Pomegranate Cosmo, a Fall Bourbon Cocktail or a Cider Rye Cocktail.
