Feeling chilly? Need a snuggle? Maybe some lovin’? I am unfortunately much too Scandinavian to give you either, but here’s my compensation, a warm pear salad. Composed of kale, mushrooms, white cheddar and those lovely pears, it’s an antidote to the frightfully cold day that’s got you down. What’s that, you say? Why yes, this is how I roll.

Sweet, Kind Oatmeal

Oatmeal is my favorite breakfast to make. There is something unendingly pleasing about plunging raw oats into boiling water, waiting five minutes and, oh wait bam–dish is done. Easy! Versatile, too; my standby is to mix in vanilla, cinnamon and butter, with cream and coconut syrup drizzled on top. Careful, you may not want to do anything else all day.
