It does snow in Arizona. In fact, there's a big ski area just above Flagstaff, AZ. Most of us don't think about snow when we think of AZ, but it's part of the landscape in the northern reaches of the state.
But we are gearing up for snow in the Phoenix area, in my neighborhood in Scottsdale on Sunday. I'm really quite excited about it. The last time we had snow was 3 Christmases ago, when all the relatives were here and it snowed for about 5 minutes. Before that, on the day that my friend Ann flew in from Massachusetts to enjoy sunny Scottsdale, it snowed! Yes, it was embarrassing but fun to see kids snowboarding around cactus plants!
So what's going to taste good on a cold, snowy day that isn't loaded with calories?

I'm not a cold weather eater and really find myself out in the weather more when it's colder (here it means less humidity so I tend to workout outside more then).
Good options for fake creamy: lentil soup pureed (obviously not with sausage pureed in but you could add sautéd chicken sausage afterward. No cream yet creamy! Also good is sweet potato or butternut squash soup puréed. I like spicy winter greens too. We made a great beef, leeks, and wild mushroom stew the other day and refrigerated it to skim off the fat before eating the next day. You could do that today!
