Storm Food?
I made a Chicken Pot Pie yesterday, keeping the kitchen warm and cozy. What do you make as storm food?

Yellow pea soup - typical scandinavian fare. Sometimes with pancakes, sometimes without. It cooks for hours and smells delicious.

We got hit with a huge snow storm. I made chili and a big loaf of bread. Whie we have many "comfort foods" in our house. This is the one that was most appealing to warm us up on a cold winters day.

Carne Guisada. Not quite chili, not quite just beef stew. With homemade flour tortillas.

Either a soup/stew I can let go all day long or a roasted bird of some sort. Or pancakes. Straight-up-no-tricks pancakes (yeah, I don't know either. I'm weird).
Of course, the snow storms usually hit when my fridge/freezer/cupboards are all but bare. In that case it's a lot of "hmm..what can I make with Dijon, a bottle of Guinness, and some Boursin?"

After my boss called to tell me to stay home, I made waffles for my husband and daughter. It's their favorite breakfast and I figured it would give hubby lots of nergy for shoveling. :)
Later, since it was still Valentine's Day, he made me chicken parm (my favorite) and I made chocolate mousse for dessert. A delicious snowy day.

One big 'ole hotpot for everyone to huddle around and dunk into communally.

Eggs on sourdough toast (all fried in lots of butter), oatmeal with maple syrup and brown sugar, mac 'n' cheese (embarrassingly, I only like it out of a box, especially if it's storming out), spinach lasagna, tea with lots of sugar whiskey.

*sugar and whiskey. I knew there was a "preview" button for a reason!
Oh, and my mother's vegetarian chili. Anything hot with lots of lentils and/or beans often sounds good when the weather's bad.

My stormy weather foods are usually big pots of soups or stews and breads. Yesterday's menu was ham and split pea soup made with homemade ham stock and corn bread. The day before was stuffed cabbage rolls and the day before that was homemade clam chowder and sour dough bread. The leftovers are a real perk to this sort of cooking.

Recently I made lentil & sausage soup, but I also like macaroni & cheese for those cold, wintry days. We get long, cold winters here in WNY...so I make alot of 'comfort' foods all winter long!
