Cozy Eats for CHILLY NIGHTS

Feel warm, comfortable and full in the best way with these easy-to-make, winter-perfect delights

On days when we need our food to warm us up, we often turn to our comfort food favorites. The only problem with those is that we usually end up sleepy and too full. So we were thrilled to find the new cookbook Warm Your Bones, which is filled with cold-weather recipes that won’t leave us feeling run-down. “The fare in this book is designed to allow eaters to continue functioning well, post-repast,” says author Vanessa Seder. “Many recipes are chock full of ingredients rich in iron, healthy fats, vitamin C and complex carbohydrates — all of which, studies show, help us to not just warm up but also stay warm longer.” Try one tonight!
