On rainy days like today I crave a nice home cooked rainy day comfort meal.
What is your go to rainy day meal that everyone loves? |
|
Beef stew:
cubed beef round - coat lightly in flour and sautee until browned cook all day long in the crock pot with onion, carrots, celery, rosemary, garlic, basil, black pepper, 1 cup of beef stock and 1/4 cup red wine. serve with boiled potatoes or biscuits, maybe a salad? It is so nice to come home to a hot and delicious meal that cooks itself while I'm at work! |
| vegetarian chili, cornbread |
| We had homemade chicken pot pies tonight - individual size in ramekins. I roasted a chicken a few days ago and used the leftover meat + stock I made from the carcass. |
| If I have the day at home: a pot roast or chuck steak braised slowly in a low oven for hours. For a quick after-work meal: spaghetti with meat sauce, or chicken soup from the freezer. |
| I made pumpkin risotto today. |

| Chili or broccoli cheddar soup. We're having friends over for football tomorrow and I'll make the chili with cornbread then, and last night I made the broccoli cheddar soup which is also really easy- sautee a Vidalia onion in about 4-5 tbsp of butter til soft. Then add 1/4 cup flour and make a roux, followed by 1 cup of chicken broth, about 1 cup of milk, and 1/2 cup cream or half and half. Let that simmer and get thick while you steam 4 heads of broccoli and shred the cheddar cheese (you will need about 3 cups). When the broccoli is done and the soup is thick, add the broccoli and cheese in and let it get all hot and bubbly. Check for salt and pepper and add. I usually run my immersion blender through a few times to break up some of the broccoli and get it nice and creamy, but I leave some of the florets more whole because I like that texture. Serve with crusty baguette! |
