Snowy nights change the pace of dinner. We keep soup pots and stew pots working when the cold settles in and the house needs something steady on the stove. Slow simmering builds rich broth, tender bites, and warmth that carries through the evening. These bowls make staying in feel like the right call once the snow starts falling.
