Welcome to another freezing Friday in Chicago. I work 4 blocks from home, and still – the commute dread is REAL. My California blood ain’t made for this arctic weather.
But I know too well that complaining about the cold only makes it worse. So I turn to steamy eats and drinks to warm me up and improve my mood on these gloomy days when I have the shivers from my head to my toes. Healthifed comfort food to the rescue! I also wear an obnoxiously fuzzy scarf and fleece lined leggings just about every day 😉
Below are some of my favorite ways to nourish myself and defeat cope with arctic winter temperatures!
