Just because it’s cold and snowy outside, doesn’t mean you have to only entertain indoors.  Light the outdoor fire pit, put out some foods that do well in the cold, such as the cheese board above.  Drape some throws and wraps on the outdoor seating and serve some piping hot bowls of chili, or a hearty soup.  Winter can be long, but this can be a perfect end to a day of cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or just mixing up the routine, by getting outside.
