Every winter, I feel like I rediscover how much I actually like to cook. During the warmer months, I’m usually throwing something together as quickly as possible so I can get on with whatever I have planned for the rest of the evening. But my plans when the sun sets by 5:00 p.m. and it’s a whopping 11 degrees outside? Heading to the kitchen, popping on a Spotify playlist, and whipping up something elaborate and cozy for dinner. There’s truly nothing better than a hearty homecooked meal to warm your bones on a winter evening, so allow me to share some of my favorite cozy recipes with you. From French onion soup to chicken pot pie, these cozy recipes are the perfect cure for cold, dreary days.
