Happy first day of winter! ❄️ PCN dietitians have put together winter meal ideas to help you make the most of the cozy winter months! 🍲 Warm and nourishing soups: On a cold winter day there is nothing quite like a warm pot of homemade soup. Our dietitians suggest trying a butternut squash soup or vegetarian chili. 🍲 Cozy comfort dishes: Casseroles are great for incorporating seasonal vegetables. Some options include sweet potato shepherd’s pie or stuffed spaghetti squash. 🍲 Mindful indulgences: Cozy treats are in abundance this time of year. While these delights are tempting, it’s important to enjoy in moderation. Some of our dietitians’ favourite recipes include apple crumble or a gingerbread smoothie. By incorporating these dietitian-approved tips into your winter eating habits you can stay warm, healthy, and satisfied. #firstdayofwinter #food #wintermealideas
