Oh, yes, stews, chili, stick-to-the-guts food. All Canadians (well, many) gain weight during the winter months.
And a few tipples don't hurt, mine is single malt.

We get through the toughest part of winter with a lime rickey or a dry martini on the rocks, Gnu. It eases the pain of so much 'shine.

Soup/stew! One-pot meals are great and soup really warms me up. It's low-cal and if I make my own, I control the salt and carbs and everything else. I usually make a huge vat of it and it humidifies the house too.

...and some SOB turned me on to grilled Velveeta sammiches. I need to find a gym.

-20C daytime high... under -30 windchill. A tad colder come dark.

For supper, I have macaroni and old cheddar cheese, tea biscuits, fresh bread, sausages, molasses. There is a turkey stew in the larder for lunch and snacks.

What do you do up in the cold weather?
