Cozy Snow Day Recipes

By Katrina Scott on
On chilly winter days, all we want to do is curl up in our pajamas with a candle and something delicious and warming to eat...anyone else?!
Today we’re sharing three of our favorite snow day recipes — a cozy crockpot soup, banana bread because we love to bake on chilly days, and hot cocoa (with a TIU twist!) because it reminds us of snow days as kids!
Enjoy and stay warm babe ❄️

Tofu, Mushroom, & Miso Soup Recipe

Makes 4 servings 


INGREDIENTS: 

Broth: 

3 oz. fresh shiitake mushrooms 

3 oz. fresh cremini mushrooms 

3 scallions 

8 cups water 

1 large carrot, cut crosswise into 4-5 pieces

¼ cup white miso paste 

1 brick (14 oz.) firm tofu, cut into ¼-inch cubes
