Not consciously, but I do eat more "heavy" foods/comfort foods in the winter. It gets dark early and it's cold and all I want to do is sit on the couch and watch TV and eat something warm and filling.
In the summer, it's light till 9:00 or later and the TV is rarely on. It's hot and we eat later dinners/lighter dinners, cook on the grill, eat more salads and less filling foods and are more active.
In the winter I am tired and falling asleep by early evening. In the summer I'm still going strong late into the evening.
I live on the coast in the summer and at a ski resort in the winter. My summer diet is things like swordfish on the grill, lobster rolls, steamed clams, and Portuguese/Azores foods available locally. I use the grill more than the stovetop and hardly ever use the oven. In the winter, my Le Creuset is my most commonly used cooking item.
Nothing changes no matter the season, if we are hungry for whatever it is we eat it.
