Winter isn't over yet!
Winter is far from over—where I live at least! We had the biggest snowstorm of the season just two days ago and I know we've got lots more to come (and shovel!) If it's cold where you are too, I bet you're in no rush to put away the hearty cold-weather dishes just yet. I know I'm still enjoying piping hot soups, spicy meatballs, comforting risottos, and hand-warming hot drinks!
Can a dessert warm you up, too? Of course, it can! If we get to hibernate a bit longer, I am definitely making that Chocolate Meringue Pie once more.
Curried squash soup with lamb meatballs
This Curried Squash Soup with Lamb Meatballs sure is a tummy-warming dish. With its Indian-inspired spicing and chunky meatballs, it will fill you up and keep you warm. You can serve it with crusty bread or warm naan and a light side salad for a complete dinner.
This is a big recipe—it makes 12 servings of soup and freezes like a dream. So this weekend, make a big pot and put aside a few meals for busy nights where you have a lot on your plate. Any variety of squash will work: pumpkin, butternut, or acorn all work great! | | Share your creations with me!

| | | Wild Mushroom Risotto is an ultra-creamy, comforting dish that delightfully highlights the earthy flavor of mushrooms. While my mushroom of choice for this dish is chanterelles, I certainly have no patience to wait for chanterelle season to roll around to make this risotto. In this risotto, any mushroom will do and the dish actually benefits from a mix of varieties. The secret is in dry cooking the mushrooms: it really brings out the nutty flavor in a way you won't experience with normal sauteeing in oil or butter. You'll definitely want to give this cheesy, gooey dish a try! | | | Greek Meatballs in Spiced Tomato Sauce | | | | Meatballs are a family favorite. Most kids really love them and these Greek Meatballs are hearty, tender, and moist. They're textbook perfect meatballs! They're served in an aromatic tomato sauce inspired by a Greek recipe. I like to top the dish with feta cheese for the perfect salty finish. Serve it with steamed rice and a salad and you'll have a delicious meal sure to warm you up! | | This creamy, dreamy Chocolate Meringue Pie is a chocolate lover's delight. It's so incredibly fluffy and offers a beautiful flavor contrast between the sweet meringue and the bittersweet chocolate filling. This pie truly is a wonderful treat and it would also make a perfect Easter dessert if you want to file it away for a special occasion!
| | | I can't leave you in this cold snap without a hot drink! Hot drinks not only warm you up but they serve double duty as a hand warmers in freezing weather. This Mulled Citrus is no exception. It's a mix of apple cider, fresh citrus juices, and spices. Serve it hot with or without a little spike of something extra from the adult beverage cabinet! | | | Don't let citrus season slip away! | | | Citrus season isn't over yet! Don't let it slip away without making some fresh and bright citrus dishes to make the most of it. Yes, you can get lemons, limes, and oranges year round—but this is the time of year where they're at their very best. Now is also when you can find some of those more unique varieties that aren't available the rest of the year!
My Simply Citrus cookbook has 60 recipes from savory to sweet that celebrate citrus fruits in all their glory! It's beautifully photographed by my long-time collaborator Catherine Côté and is available in English and French! | | That's it for today but I'd love to hear from you! If there's something you'd like to see me tackle or you'd simply like to connect, all you have to do is hit "reply" to this email and say hello!
Until next time—take care and stay safe!
