As I type this, it’s snowing fluffy white snow outside and it just couldn’t be cozier Christmas vacation weather. This is such a special week. Things have finally slowed. Everyone is relaxing and forced to take somewhat of a holiday break, as most of the world shuts down. It’s always so nice after such a busy season. With family here and the snow falling, I’ve been making a lot of soups, chilis, and slow-cooked, simple dinners that everyone will enjoy. Some of my coziest recipes! And even though the weather is leaving me craving the coziest food, I’m excited to start the week off with a list of wholesome, vegetable-filled recipes. I’m actually craving it! This is the 7th Healthy January and it’s become a month that I think everyone really enjoys. Here’s the thing, I use the word “healthy” lightly because everyone’s view on healthy is different. My goal is to create nutrient-rich recipes to keep the sicknesses away and our energy levels high. I’m not the type of person to ever go carb free, skimp on butter, or share a cheeseless pizza. Nope. I believe in balance and I do think that high-quality, European-style organic butter is indeed GOOD for us. I focus on using only real food in the recipes I share. Take the recipes you love, adjust them how you like, and leave behind what you don’t care for. And with the cold winter days upon us, we still want cozy food. Thankfully, cozy and healthy can work together. This month I’m excited to share bright colorful recipes that are full of flavor and nutrients. Are there any recipes you’d be especially excited to see? Cozy favorites made healthy? I always love hearing from your guys!
