A guide to a winter ski weekend, or any winter get away...
Both of our families love to ski, and taking weekend ski trips helps get us through the chilly winter weekends! It’s actually one of our favorite times of year to make family memories, and we have learned so much over the past few years about how to navigate a weekend away with ease. Not a skier? These recipes and tips are perfect for any winter getaway weekend or just making fun winter memories at home! If two Southerners living in New England can have fun in these frigid temperatures then you can too!

HOSTING TIPS:
If traveling with other families, plan out all meals and who is in charge of what meal before leaving. That way everyone can bring the groceries, or prep their grocery list for the meal they are in charge of. We also suggest picking meals with minimal ingredients.
If you are planning to make a meal while away, measure out the spices you will need and pack them in small ziplock bags so you don’t have to bring or buy spice jars.
Bring a meal for the first night you are there. Our Sausage and Spinach lasagna is the perfect thing to make ahead and pop in the oven upon arrival and is a one pan cleanup! Also, invest in a pyrex with a lid like the one listed in our essentials - it makes traveling with food a breeze. Pop it in your Yeti and you are ready to travel!
Breakfast casseroles are the perfect thing to feed a crowd and fuel everyone up for a day on the slopes!
Fondue by the fire is a special moment that will make fun memories for everyone involved!
Winter getaways and family games go hand in hand! We love fun games like Left Right Center and Qwixx to get the whole family having fun together! Scrabble anyone? Make and bring a batch of our Chex for game night snacking ;)
If staying in a rental house make sure to message the owner to see what kitchen equipment they have before arriving so you know what to expect.
We also pack a bag with our favorite olive oil, flaky salt a sharp knife, and other kitchen essentials we can’t live without.
