Many people are feeling the post-holiday slump, which can lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Fortunately, spending time in your kitchen can actually help and now therapists are embracing what home cooks have known for a while: cooking helps.
Did I mention I enjoy soup and other great comfort food in January? The holidays are in our rear view mirrors and Old Man Winter has us in his clutches. Fight back with lots of wonderful soups, including a creamy parsnip bisque with super crunchy kettle chip croutons!
Continuing my quest to keep warm and fill your kitchen with great soup recipes, we come to a great classic: French Onion Soup. But this one has an effort-saving secret to make this a great mid-week meal option: your trusty slow cooker!
For me, January is all about soups, chowders, and stews. There is no better way for me to ward off chills on a cold winter evening than a bowl of steaming soup, a good pair of warm socks, and a good book to curl up with.
When the holidays have gone and we're left with the cold embrace of winter, it's time to fight back with our best. It's time to turn to chicken soup and give it a spicy warmth that comes from Thailand.
If you're finding yourself at a loss for how to up the festivity of mornings in the post-Christmas lull, try making a batch of decadent eggnog waffles for breakfast and watch the sparkle return in a flash!
Thinking about eating healthier in the New Year? Maybe spending more time with your family and friends? How about trying not to get too stressed about things? We've got the perfect dish to celebrate the New Year for any and all of those resolutions!
As we get a little lull between Christmas and New Year's Day, it makes sense to fill it with a comforting casual dinner featuring spicy meatball subs on rolls that are more like garlic bread than sub sandwich rolls.
For me, the holidays are steeped in the tradition of making amazing cookies, bars, and candies. If you feel like that's been a little thin for you so far, fear not! We've got a quick, simple, amazing bar recipe that features a layer of peanut butter fudge.
Lest you think quick food during the holidays has to be loaded with fat and calories, check out this fantastic vegetarian dish that doesn't remind you it's healthy and can be whipped up in about a half hour. It's just what you need during this busy time.
