When it starts getting chilly, we begin to hibernate. Nobody wants to go outside and trek through the icy snow and cold winds. Class attendance is weak and morale is even weaker. It seems as if it should be a movie day every day.
If this is all sounding like you, I have the perfect solution. FOOD. Isn’t that the answer to almost all your problems? Here are comfort food recipes that are sure to brighten your day, and maybe even inspire you to venture outside of that warm house of yours.
