If you are anything like me come winter and my bear-like hibernation habits sets in. Are you a sun chaser? I spread out from room to room chasing the patches of sun so I de-thaw and warm up. Cold feet and getting out of a warm bed are the things I dislike most come winter. I cannot survive without fluffy socks, hot water bottles and food that warms the cockles of my heart.
I am sharing a few dishes and recipes that are my winter warmers. The way I cook is somewhat by taste and feel. So if you want to add more salt, by all means, draw outside the lines! There are no rules to adding a touch of this and that to get the mouthwatering result.
