We don’t need to remind you that this winter has been particularly brutal, do we? All you need to do is look out the window, and you’ll have all of the proof you need. No matter where you are in Ontario, when you open your blinds, you’ll find piles and piles of snow that haven’t yet melted, frigid skies, and naked trees swaying in the wind. Unfortunately for many of us, braving this chilly weather is inevitable; we’ve got work, school, and other commitments of the like. That’s why, whenever the most-coveted Snow Day comes around – when there’s too much snow on the ground to feasibly leave our homes – we’ve got to cherish it with all we have!
The best thing that we can do to ensure our next Snow Day is the best one yet is prepare for it. And what better way to do that than to store much-needed ingredients in your freezer for when your food cravings hit. With that in mind, we’ve come up with the ultimate Snow Day menu courtesy of Stahlbush Island Farms for when you’re hunkered inside. These recipes are comforting, satisfying, warming, and best of all, easy to throw together if you have the right ingredients.
Stahlbush Island Farms’ frozen fruits and vegetables, in particular, make preparing for a Snow Day easy-peasy. Their colourful produce, frozen at peak freshness, are all Non-GMO Project Verified, sustainable, kosher, and ready to answer the call. You can shop a variety of their frozen goodies at The Sweet Potato in The Junction neighbourhood of Toronto.
