Winter food favorites

themuffinman16

I decided to make my mom potato leek soup, since I am feeling better and can visit her, now.  She is doing great after her surgery.  I am also making Chicken gruyere sauteed mushroom grilled sandwiches.  (I will let you know how those turn out.)  The soup is really easy to make and absolutely delicious.  What's your favorite winter comfort foods, ladies?

Chili served with sour cream and rice. I'm so making that this weekend.

Chili... YUM! I have never had it with sour cream and rice, before. Definitely going to try this

Cocoa and Toast

Chili

Soup in general

Venison, not that I get it often since neither I nor H hunt, but yay farm to table restaurants.

Anything in the slow cooker. ANYTHING.

Oh man we had the best grilled venison loin the other night. BIL and FIL got I think three deer between them this past season.

Otherwise... anything with butternut squash. Pasta, lasagna, soup, just roasted, yum.

A pot roast with carrots, onions, and potatoes over mashed potatoes or rice. I crave comfort food in the winter.

Plus, I love making sandwiches with the leftover meat.

Lamb stew, chicken pot pie, beef stroganoff, or smothered pork chops in homemade gravy with mashed potatoes and green beans. Pretty much any comfort food that wouldn't be too good to eat in the summer when it's hot outside.

That's my favorite leftovers! I toast bread, caramelize some onions, and put some cheddar cheese on top of the heated up pot roast to melt it. Best sandwich EVER!

I don't much care for gourds or legumes, so that X's out a lot of classic winter stuff.

But I do like potatoes and root vegetables.
I like tomato soup and potato soups.
Meat chili is tasty.

I tend to really crave salads and BBQ though, so winter foods aren't really my thing.

Grilled cheese on either sourdough or my Mom's homemade bread (but I'm not that picky, just about any bread will do).

Cheesy Potato Soup

Does anyone have a recipe they like for beanless chili? Or regular recipe that I could omit beans. I hate beans but I'd love to try a chili sometime. I just googled but there were so many with varying ingredients so I have no idea which ones are good.

I never use a recipe... just throw shit in a pot. More chili powder than you think is reasonable.

I've never made it and I'm a novice. So I literally don't even know what would go in it or what chili powder even is.... Haa

pinkcow13

...oh. Lol.

Go to the spice aisle and look for a premixed chili kit. That'll be easier. Then just use more meat in place of the beans it calls for.
