“Cozy Food”
Depending on where you live, it may or may not be getting a little chilly by now. Here in Southern California, mid-October can sometimes deliver the hottest days of the year, which we definitely have just endured. We still love to celebrate the Fall, though! Cozy food is food that makes you feel good. Right about this time of year, people start getting in a festive mood. Adorable fall colors are decorating houses, and we are desperate for a cold day to give us an excuse to enjoy some “Cozy Food”. Delicious, cozy food is the perfect way to bring the family together to warm our hearts and souls with the festivities of dinnertime. This week features things like butternut squash, maple syrup, apples, and raspberries. There are quite a few traditional food preparations to learn this week, meaning they enhance nutritional value, so read through the directions and get cooking!
