It’s absolutely freezing in Saskatchewan right now.

It dumped snowed a couple of days ago, and the temperature dropped dramatically with it. But I actually love it it when it snows! It’s so beautiful outside and makes you want to cozy up by the fire and have some hot chocolate! Although, we tried to start a fire last night, and there was so much snow on the roof that the fire went out instantly with all the melting snow falling… hopefully that will change.

The one thing I don’t like about the cold weather is all I crave is cold weather foods… heavy foods, fatty foods, comfort foods, all that good stuff. So I’m in the process of finding new recipes that I can make that are good for you and comforting at the same time. Yesterday, I had this AMAZING spicy black bean soup from Earls that was delicious! I found a Vegan recipe online that I’m going to try: http://www.thenovicechefblog.com/2011/09/spicy-black-bean-soup/

If anyone is looking for great recipes, I’ve recently join Pinterest.com and there are great recipes on there! As well as crafting ideas, fashion, books, music, and anything in between. If anyone has any healthy-comforting recipes, feel free to pass them along!
