Spring is just around the corner but cozy days remain on order in Maine.

Most of us are familiar with the humble chestnut, sung about and roasted around the holidays, but did you know you can enjoy it as a flour or a frangipane-style crème? Moreover, did you know that once a common tree in the US, now most chestnuts found the US are imported? The Great Chestnut Experiment is on a quest to bring chestnuts back to the table, supporting farmers and their sustainable little forests in the process.
The kids and I have really enjoyed this ever so tasty spreadable crème - in cocoas, on toast, in cakes, and if weâre being completely honest.. by a little spoonful here and there. We officially love chestnuts! đ°â¨
Nothing says snow day like cuddling up with a warm chestnut latte. Just add 2 tbs of spiced chestnut crème to hot milk, espresso, and top with whipped cream + a sprinkle of cinnamon! Stay warm out there! âď¸âď¸đ°
