Baby, it’s cold outside. Time to fluff up the duvet, gather the pillows, and crawl back into bed. Or…warm up with a delicious and healthy bowl of winter granola (or both, if that’s an option!). This seasonal episode of The Dish is in with another heaping dose of feel-good food paired with smart, complementary table settings that’ll satisfy both your hunger and your sense of style. Living the Healthy Choice’s wintertime spin on granola, true to its name, is a hearty and mindful take on the well-loved camping classic, with bonus crunch. The mix is packed with nutritious seasonal nuts, delicious cold-weather staples like cranberries, cinnamon, and maple syrup, and a pleasant tropical hint of coconut. Get the full recipe below, plus the bowl I recommend pairing with it. Because, what you serve food in matters just as much as what you’re serving.

For absolutely charming, Instagram-worthy results, this down-to-earth dish begs to be paired with minimalist, pared-down plating. My pick for transforming those chilly mornings into cozy cabin scenes: Tina Frey Design’s extra-large wide bowl. It’s hand-sculpted from matte-black resin, and is designed to last forever.
