My Winter Essentials

On days like today when it is below freezing outside here in Ohio, there are a few things that I feel are essential to surviving the cold...

-C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve: This salve is my new favorite. I use it on my lips and have used it for my cuticles as well. It smells amazing and I have been using it constantly!

-Trader Joe's Sipping Hot Chocolate...just trust me, you need this. It is divine.

-Warm, cozy gloves and a matching hat (I got these arm warmers for Christmas and I'm obsessed!)

-Camellia Hand Cream: My hands have been getting so dry with this winter weather we've been having so I needed a nice lotion to lather on.

-A good book to curl up on the couch with. I just finished Divergent by Veronica Roth and started The Storyteller by Jodi Piccolt.

Here are a few of my favorite cold weather recipes:

-Sausage and Corn Chowder

-Lentil Chili

-Taco Pie

-PW's Meatloaf

-Skillet Cookie

Stay warm out there!
