January is the month when winter really starts to settle in. All those snowy days and cold nights call for serious comfort: the creamy, cheesy, hearty kind. \u201cJanuary days are short, cold, and gray. There\u2019s nothing better at the end of them than a comforting meal,\u201d says Kitchn\u2019s Editor-in-Chief Faith Durand. \u201cThe warmer, cozier, ooier, and gooier, the better!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

When the forecast calls for just that, Faith turns to Target\u2019s<\/a> grocery line, Good & Gather<\/a>. With mouthwatering recipes and high-quality ingredients, Good & Gather makes rich and nourishing meals easier. Here are five items Faith is buying on repeat this month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1. Creamy Tomato Basil Soup<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

For snow days and cold nights, tomato soup<\/a> is just required eating. (We don\u2019t make the rules.) \u201cMy kids\u2019 absolute favorite dinner is grilled cheese with tomato soup,\u201d Faith says. \u201cThis creamy soup is a favorite in our house.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It doesn\u2019t need to be Taco Tuesday to break out this party-in-a-jar. \u201cOn super cold days, my kids request a queso board,\u201d Faith says. \u201cWe heat up this gooey cheese<\/a> and dip everything in it, from chips to veggies to pretzels.\u201d The mild spice blend is flavorful and kid-friendly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3. Vegan Ranch & Avocado with Corn Flaxseed Chips Salad Kit<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

OK, sometimes<\/em> we\u2019re just craving salad<\/a>, even in the dead of winter. This one is hearty and nutritious \u2014\u00a0and deliciously dairy-free! \u201cThis kit has everything I like in a salad: good greens, lots of veggies, creamy dressing, and a little something crunchy on top,\u201d Faith says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

4. Frozen Beef & Jalape\u00f1o Corn Mini Empanadas<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

For a snack, lunch, or light dinner, these savory pockets<\/a> hit the spot with just the right amount of spice. \u201cThis is one of my favorite two-bite appetizers,\u201d Faith says. \u201cThese empanadas are hearty, filling, and delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

5. Tomato, Basil & Mozzarella Ravioli<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

More cheese, please! A bowl of this classic ravioli<\/a> is perfect for a snuggly dinner-and-a-movie on the couch. \u201cSome winter evenings, you just need a little taste of a sunny summer day,\u201d Faith says. Bonus: The basil adds a kiss of freshness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
