If this title didn’t make you grin and say, Awwwwww, are you even ready for cuddle-by-the-fireplace season? Okay, a little corny, admittedly, but doesn’t this time of year bring out the cheesy sentimentality in all of us? This is the time of year for scarves and snuggles, hot cocoa, bright, crunchy leaves, and (finally) knee-high boots. And, in terms of meals, if it doesn’t fill you up and make you just the slightest bit snoozy, is it even worth your woolen-hat wearing time?

Can fresh berries fit into this cozy vision of autumnal bliss? Well, Well•Pict Berries strawberries and raspberries certainly can. Well•Pict offers strawberries every single month of the year and their raspberries and organic strawberries most months of the year, so temps that dip low enough to make you rub your arms and blow into your hands don’t have to mean the end of one of the best things summer ever gave us: berries.

You might be surprised (but not if you’re a regular reader of this blog, of course) at how many warming recipes put sweet, juicy strawberries and raspberries front and center. The Well•Pict recipe page has a wide variety of delicious meal (and snack and appetizer and dessert) options from all over the world. Be sure to check it out on your own, but this list of our cold-weather favorites is a great place to start. Here’s to sweaters, rosy red cheeks, and plentiful post-dinner naps!
