Let’s face it: This time of year can put us in a slump. The holidays are officially over, the weather is dreadfully cold and it still gets dark out so early. Luckily, there’s always comfort food to get us through the dreary days of winter — and this week we have an especially cozy menu to celebrate the halfway point of January.
Who can resist a casserole dish filled to the brim with cheesy chicken enchiladas? These are covered in a decadent white sauce that will help you defrost on frigid nights. Of course, you can’t go wrong with a hearty bowl of turkey chili, either. This hands-off recipe cooks low and slow for two hours, or up to six for maximum flavor. Stuffed peppers are another staple this time of year, and we’re spicing things up with chili powder and cayenne pepper. You can easily freeze any extra for a comforting option when you need dinner in a pinch. Pair any of these meals with a serving of warm butternut squash salad or a slice of buttery coffee cake babka and watch winter fly by just like that.
