During this time of year, life seems to be moving at lightning speed. This seems to be the nature of the season- a gradual build-up to the holidays. The days become shorter and colder, and our appetites change as well. Our body craves heartier, nourishing, comfort food recipes which make us feel good on the inside and out. Fall soup is the best way to keep you warm & full.
In addition to feeling good, many of these comfort food recipes can be made ahead, which makes them ideal for fall gatherings (or, as I say – the official guests hosting season).In keeping with that, I have compiled a list of my favorite comfort food recipes for fall and winter, which are hearty, cozy, and delicious. Hope you enjoy it!
