Hola! Vianney from sweetlifebake.com here to share with you a hearty bowl of comfort that is sure to hit the spot when the temperatures drop. Enjoy!

When the temperatures begin to drop I find myself craving a hearty bowl of deliciousness from stews to soups anything that wraps me in warmth. This recipe is my go-to on Sunday’s when I want to curl up on the couch with a steamy bowl of goodness paired with a crisp glass of Kendall-Jackson Sauvignon Blanc.

Braised Chicken with Cauliflower and Kale

This braised dish is not only delicious but versatile.  Feel free to replace the chicken for pork or kale for spinach and you can easily add a garbanzo, black beans or brown rice for a complete meal in a bowl.  A few sprinkles of grated parmesan cheese would be amazing.
