Here in MN, winters are filled with 'hotdish' suppers and soups and stews and other comfort foods. In summer it's all grilled hamburgers or cold sandwiches and salads and produce, tailored to how hot it is. Chili is also year-round here, my mother always made huge batches and we all looked forward to many bowls of it. I don't cook like that though, I usually find whatever looks good at the time, LOL!
