Truth time: winter is not my favorite season of the year. But with layers to keep me warm plus delicious food that I can whip up in my kitchen all season long, there really are some great reasons to actually love and embrace winter. So even if it’s not your favorite season of the year, it’s still one to love, especially if you’re a food lover like me.
In this post, I have put together 25 awesome winter recipes, including from breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts and drinks. I’ve got you covered all season long from everything from breakfast casseroles and porridges in the morning to delicious soups and chili recipes for lunches, hearty shepherd’s pie and rice bowls for dinner, and amazing gingerbread cookies and paleo mug cakes for dessert. Finally, what would winter be without some cozy warm drinks? I’m sharing five delicious gluten and dairy-free drinks that you’ll want to indulge in all winter long.
With all these seasonal, delicious, healthy recipes, I hope you find a few favorites to get you through these chilly months. I encourage you to try some of them out and get inspired to keep creating awesome gluten and dairy-free meals all season long.

Pam Colby says
I follow you as I was diagnosed last March as having Celiac disease and lactose intolerance. I read on your website
you used a Quick Pot to cook with. Would you kindly tell me which Quick Pot you use?
Rachael Roehmholdt says
Hi Pam, thanks for asking! Yes, I love my Instant Pot! I use it multiple times a week and it has really been a game-changer in my kitchen! So easy and so much less mess with having to only clean one pot.
This isn’t the exact one that I have, because when I went to look for it, it looks like they’ve updated it since I got it a year ago. I have the 7-in-1 6 quart, and now they make a 9-in-1. Either way, it’s the Duo60 version. Here’s a link on Amazon if you’re looking to buy online: https://amzn.to/2BlCPtn
