What is your comfort food for a cold, cozy day?

[kimblebee]

Spaghetti and meat sauce with garlic bread. Or, if I have everything on hand, lasagna.

If we ate this heavy food on every snow day (about five months on average) we’d need to hibernate through the summer lol

Yum! Wondering if you have a recipe you’d like to share? I’ve been looking for a good one!

I usually make chicken and noodles, beef stew, chili or stuffed pepper soup. I should really use my crock pot more because I love the way the house smells as things cook, but I don’t often plan that well.

It's on the Damn Delicious website. Slow cooker chicken and wild rice soup.

 

[Planogirl]

Chicken and noodles or split pea soup. Also, jambalaya or red beans & rice when in the mood.

 

[marthachick]

Chili or homemade vegetable beef soup with grilled cheese sandwiches made with butter. And I got a new KitchenAid mixer so I have to bake something too.

 

[RedAngie]

Made chili during the bomb cyclone on Thursday.
Friday was tuna melts and tomato florentine soup.
I'm planning beef stew for Saturday.

Senate navy bean soup or gumbo

Chili or pot roast

I make a pot roast that everyone raves about. One of my secrets is to add a splash of red wine and another secret is to sear and Brown the outside of the meat in the enameled cast iron Dutch oven I cook it in before I add the other ingredients so that I lock in the juices. A good set of tongs is invaluable for turning the meat to Brown it on all sides. Sometimes I’ll sprinkle a little bit of freshly ground black pepper on the meat before I sear it. The leftover roast, broth and vegetables (I cook mine with chunks of celery, carrots, onions and unpeeled red potatoes) make a great base for a stew or shepherds style pie.

Congratulations on the new mixer. I recommend making muffins (You can freeze the extras for later. Just pop one in the microwave to defrost it and make it nice and warm right before you eat it.), cookies (I double my batch and freeze half or three quarters into logs for slice and bake cookies so I can later have a fresh cookie whenever I want) or brownies.

I don’t use nutmeg because I don’t like it. I also use a potato ricer to make the spaetzle instead of a colander, best tip I ever found. Less mess and so much easier

Anything warm and cheesy consisted of my comfort food for a long time. But last year I found out I'm lactose intolerant. So now I'll order pho from my local vietnamese restaurant down the street. It's the best.

What's your favorite comfort food on a cold, snowy weekend?

Probably lasagna. I made one the other day, and we had leftovers after shoveling Friday. It hit the spot perfectly!


ETA - Oh, and cookies - made those last night!

beef stroganoff

 

[loves to dive]

Chicken and dumplings. I liked my Mama's better than honey's but since I don't have to make them I'll eat them. Mama made hers with big round dumplings, honey does the strips.

 

[AnnaFloridaLover]

Spinach and lentil soup with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of cilantro.

 

[Hannahinwonderland]
