Going to get cold this week! What are you making to keep everyone cozy?

I want to do chili one night, but need some more good ideas.

Slow cooker beef bourgignon. Or lamb stew. Or curry.

Shepherd's pie. Pot pie. Apple pie.

Lots of slow cooker recipes.
I have pork posole cooking right now. Beef stew will be made later this week.
Hearty soups: minestrone, cioppino, kale and potato soup, chicken noodle soup and chicken tortilla soup ( I use rotisserie chicken as a shortcut)

Butternut or acorn or kombucha squash, roasted with some butter and maple syrup! Yum!

I routinely make curry, boeuf bourguignon and shepherd's pie. Tried chicken pot pie yesterday and it was delicious!
The kids also love lentils and sausages.

Also love to make chili with cornbread, or cheesy chili mac when it's cold.

I love beef bourgignon too. Also french onion soup, chili, potato leek soup. I don't use a crock pot but these work well in a dutch oven as well. Also a baked potato makes a nice side in the winter and keeps the oven on. Regular potato or sweet.

I made this tonight, and thought it had a good cold-weather comfort food feel to it:

S/l b/l chicken breast, cut crosswise into 1/2" thick medallions

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet, brown the chicken medallions on both sides

Cover with black beans (I used a 1.5 cup container of frozen home-cooked beans, but canned would work with a sprinkle of cumin added), simmer until the chicken is cooked through.

Serve over brown rice, top with salsa and sour cream if desired.

Other winter favorites: any kind of soup, beef stroganoff, Mac n cheese, scalloped potatoes, Swedish meatballs, pot roast.

We are having chicken tortilla soup tonight and had chicken tortellini sout the other day. I also like roasted chicken for an easy yet hearty meal.
