Which Dishes Do You Want In Cold Weather???

ECBG — Wed, 19 Jan 2022 01:31:05 GMT

In the winter I am drawn to tomato, garlic, oregano, and basil!

I am especially fond of spaghetti meat sauce and a salad!

@ECBG - I went to a restaurant that I had never been to before, on Sunday, and there, on the menu was sirloin tip stew over noodles. I knew that I had to order it on such a cold day. That stew was so wonderful with its intense, spicy flavors and celery, carrots and lots of tomato. I haven't had stew for easily two decades, and I discovered that I sure do miss it. I guess it is time to break out that old Crock Pot of mine and have some fun!

Hi again @ECBG

I know what you mean.... winter and cold weather is all about comfy, slow cooked delish in dish!

I make a big pot of vegetable soup every week. I start with dried beans soaked and boiled in aromatics, my own homemade stock, tons of veggies and herbs... It's like a pot of love. LOL! Then I make barley, rice or pasta to put with it.

Winter is my "comfort food" time. I love chili. (regular chili, white bean chicken chili, turkey chili, mexican/taco chili) and I love soup/grilled sandwich combos. Always with a salad.

@ECBG I was never crazy about pasta/red sauce, but recently I have been liking it. I made mozarella stuffed meatballs last night and served with a Garlic/Basil tomato sauce.

Meatloaf with potatoes and carrots roasted with the meatloaf. Yummy.

Around here we talk about "gumbo weather" when the temperatures cool down.

I love gumbo but it's the meal which caused me to have a gall bladder attack that was so severe, I had to go to ER and then into surgery. Had zero idea I had any gall bladder issue and now I can't even think of cooking or eating gumbo. No reason I couldn't eat gumbo now, just the association of the worst pain I have ever felt.

I don't really cook according to the weather unless we're grilling outdoors, but since we got our ninja gril we haven't even taken the cover off the Weber. I recently made some chicken vegetable soup that really hit the spot. I also tried a new recipe for a small pot roast that was very good. A couple of weeks ago, I made keto lasagna and we had leftovers for days, but we didn't mind a bit.

I don't really cook regarding the weather. We bbq all year round. The only thing is in summer I don't want anything that heats up the kitchen.

Anything in the crock pot! It just smells so good and makes the house feel more cozy and warm. Our outdoor grilling season is limited in the northeast, while we really enjoy it there is no way I'm shoveling the deck to get to the grill when I can set and forget the crockpot and not even take off my slippers! LOL

We have been experiencing cold and yucky weather and it jump started me back to cooking mode. It has been meatloaf, pasta, corned beef and cabbage, chili. Expecting more weather in the next few days and I have a new soup recipe to try and heaven knows what else I will be cooking. Honestly, I need to get rid of some of the leftovers.

I haven't had meatloaf in a long time. I think it's time to make it again.

Soups are satisfying to me in cold weather. I would make stew but I never get it the way my mother made it.

Some of our cold weather dinner favorites are beef barley vegetable soup, chicken vegetable soup, tortellini vegetable soup, beef stew, shrimp gumbo, chili, spaghetti & meatballs. We also like crockpot steel-cut oatmeal with chopped apples & dried cherries for breakfast on a cold morning. Just set it up before going to bed and you've got a delicious, hot breakfast when you wake up.
