CINCINNATI, Feb. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) is sharing cozy mid-winter meal solutions to help customers through the last weeks of winter weather. With low-maintenance slow cooker recipes and soups to keep you warm on those final cold days of the season, meal prep has never been easier and even more delicious.

“Warm weather and grilling season are just around the corner, but first, we have to make it through the remaining chilly days of winter,” said Dan De La Rosa, Kroger’ group vice president of Fresh Merchandising. “Until then, we’re serving up more fresh inspiration for cozy meal solutions that are easy and affordable to get us to Springtime.”
