Cold Weather Cravings

I don’t know about you, but when the weather gets colder, I start craving lots of warm, comforting foods. For many people, that means UNHEALTHY. But, it really doesn’t have to be. There are tons of healthy meals that you can make to nourish yourself during the cold months.

This weekend I was craving oatmeal. I couldn’t find any steel-cut oats in the neighborhood I was in, so I just bought regular old-fashioned oats and heated them up with some yummy fixings: plums, toasted walnuts, cinnamon, and honey. Plus a few raspberries on top. It was warming and oh-so-comforting.

I also made a big batch of chili…but I forgot to take a picture of it before I scarfed it all down. (So use your imagination! haha)

Here’s a few other healthy recipes you can try to keep your body strong and warm during the cold months.

Butternut Squash Soup

Three Sisters Stew

Wishing you a great week,

UPDATE:
I made some more chili! I found a fun Turkey Pumpkin Chili recipe on the Whole Foods site and had to try it out. Yum! The pumpkin adds extra nutritional value and a beautiful orange color.

I stuck to the recipe, except I added a few extra cloves of garlic.
