For those of you – like us – trapped inside your homes (fast becoming igloos, at this rate), now is the perfect time to get in the kitchen and whip up some slow-cooking, hearty meals.
The Kitchn suggests these 5 blizzard-worthy foods: (1) yummy artisan bread, (2) braises and stews (like the curried vegetable and chickpea stew featured left), (3/5) the rustic Italian goodness of gnocchi and risotto, (4) and marvelous macarons to finish.
Maybe it’s just our dreams of a Tuscan vacation talking (sunshine, where art thou?), but we’re seriously crushing on that hearty Italian potato gnocchi. Plus – there’s no need to brave a blizzard for the grocery store! All you need is:
2 lbs starchy potatoes
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 – 1 cup flour
three-fingered pinch of salt
And, of course, some time & patience. Way more productive than spending your snow day watching re-runs of Jersey Shore. Trust us.
