{Video!} Cold Weather Pantry Essentials
With just under one month of winter remaining (in theory), I'm anxiously waiting for the brighter, warmer spring days to arrive. But until then, I'm putting my favorite cold weather pantry staples to work in the kitchen to keep me out of a cooking rut and to beat the winter blues.
It's easy to get stuck in a cooking and emotional rut at the end of any season, but especially in winter. The cold, dark days can take a toll on our energy, immunity, and mood. When we moved to Madrid from Switzerland, I noticed what a difference having sun in the winter made, especially in my mood.
So whether you're in a winter cooking rut or you live somewhere lacking sun for much of the winter, this video is for you! We can use the edible tools in our kitchen to combat these less-than-desirable winter side effects. And in the video I share four pantry and fridge staples I reach for weekly to help me do just that.
Below I've linked to several recipes that feature the pantry essentials mentioned in the video. I hope there's a recipe in the lineup that helps you get through the rest of the winter! And comment below letting me know what your favorite cold weather pantry staple is!
