It's cold outside and you're looking for ways to warm up. I've got four ways you can heat things up to help you get through the worst of winter. Here we go ...

2.) Salted Caramel Latte: On a cold day you can treat yourself to a Salted Carmel Mocha with extra whip and toppings. Yum!

3.) Johnny G's Stew: Gasperetti's is known as one of the valley's nicest restaurants for a fancy three-course meal, but they also have an affordable lunch menu that includes John's famous homemade stew. Fresh potatoes, parsnips, carrots and heart beef make this the perfect dish for a cold day.
