Winter in Niagara brings crisp mornings, early sunsets, and a natural pull toward comfort. January is the perfect time to slow down, stay warm, and enjoy meals that make the season feel a little easier. And when cooking feels like too much? Antipastos is here with homemade-style comfort food — without the work.
Whether you're feeding the family or looking for simple weeknight solutions, consider this your Cozy Season Survival Guide for winter.
