There are really few things more lovely than the aroma of a roasting chicken or a loaf of bread wafting throughout the house. Recoiling at the idea of cooking?

1. Grilled cheese is always a winter winner. Team it up with soup A, B, C or stew X, Y, or Z and you're set. Looking to take a baby step off the beaten path? Try a tuna melt. Grumpy's has great one, made with pepper cheese on caraway bread.
