We love winter here on Canada’s Food Island. There’s SO much to do in the great outdoors and we also embrace hygge like nobody’s business! But regardless of whether you live on PEI or somewhere else in the world where winter is a real season (with snow and wind chills), we think you’ll agree that the best thing to pair with your chosen winter activities is a warming meal. In the interest of helping you stay cozy and satiated, we’ve rounded up 9 of our ‘hottest’ PEI recipes – enjoy!
