5 Foods for the “Snowpocalypsed”

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.

Curried Vegetables and Chickpea Stew, from "15 Braises from the Kitchn"

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.
