Get the latest Wintery recipes from Group Recipes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/tag/wintery I had sweet potatoes left-over from Thanksgiving and wanted to make something yummy. Found a few soup recipes to give me an idea and then I put my own spin into action. http://www.grouprecipes.com/81058/sweet-comfort-soup.html Adapted from Anna Olson, these are very much the Christmas cookie - studded throughout with gorgeously bright and clear candied cherries. You can't use maraschinos in syrup for this - look for the dry-packed glace kind. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months. http://www.grouprecipes.com/65668/glace-cherry-shortbreads.html Whole Foods take on Italian wedding soup. It's fun to make and fun to eat. Really satisfying cold weather fair. A favorite. http://www.grouprecipes.com/48618/italian-wedding-soup-with-carrots-orzo-and-meatballs.html Another recipe I found in the newspaper; going to try this week (originally from "Joy of Cooking") http://www.grouprecipes.com/35926/kale-with-garlic-and-cranberries.html I adapted this recipe from Cooking Light. This is a great vegetarian, lowfat and healthy version of potpie. Add chickpeas or tofu for a complete main dish. http://www.grouprecipes.com/22817/root-vegetable-potpie.html This recipe was one I got in NPR's 'The Splendid Table' Weeknight Kitchen e-newsletter. I can no longer find it on their site, which is too bad because we used this as a side for some herb crusted rack of lamb and it turned out very successful. It is definately a backseat sort of dish and I wouldn't reccommend serving it with anything too heavy. While it is creamy and rich feeling on the palate, the flavour is delicate and light. http://www.grouprecipes.com/1884/spaghetti-with-creamy-egg-proscuitto-and-arugula.html
