The beginning of the year means that right now, we’re smack dab in the middle of winter. ❄️The cold temperatures are upon us, but even colder ones may be headed our way. In Chicago this week, we’ve already hit negative numbers with the wind chill. Brrr! 🥶 Right about now we could all use a nice warm hug to give us those warm fuzzies as we settle in for some blustery weather. We’re talking about Biscuits and Gravy, Cream of Celery Soup, and Creamy Red Pepper Ziti. |

| Cream of Celery Soup Celery soup? I wouldn’t have thought to make a soup out of an entire stalk of celery, but a few years ago my mom mentioned that she made Celery Soup, and loved it, so it’s been on my mind ever since. I think of celery as a flavor enhancer, or as a crunchy addition to dishes—not the main attraction. So, I was very surprised when I gave this soup a whirl—it’s delicious! The celery gives it great flavor and freshness, and the creaminess from our beloved cashews is perfect. It’s light, yet comforting, and couldn’t be easier to make. |

| Creamy Red Pepper Ziti Who knew easy and simple could also mean beautiful and super tasty as well? First, we make a smoky roasted red pepper cream sauce, and then toss it with ziti pasta and fresh basil ribbons. Done! This dreamy pasta dish will have you wondering how you didn’t spend the whole day in the kitchen, and everyone will love it. |

| Drop Biscuits When we were kids our mom would make these quite a bit. Whether it was for a Sunday morning breakfast, to go alongside a stew, or just so my dad could put butter and jelly on them as a quick late-night snack or desert at night. They were a bit of a throw back from her youth and we all loved them. |
