Favorite winter comfort foods

Note to self: if I ever visit Holly, remember to have my own food shipped in advance from US or hire Gordon Ramsay. :eek:nthego:

Oh dear AC...Gordon Ramsey??..lol..lol..our food is delicous and Gordon ramsey is a rubbish cook compared to most of our chefs and home cooks., but never fear you don't have to bring your own food, there's a Maccy dees not far from here
 

Oh my, Holly.....those vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. I am drooling. As a child, even though I never ate meat, I loved Yorkshire pudding. I have no explanation how it became a frequent meal in a Italian family though.

Nona. if truth be told it probably originated in Italy...just like Pasta originated in China..etc.:D...it's deeelicious isn't it..
 
I'm too impatient when it comes to the browning of the meat, that's partly my problem, but, I'm going to give it another try using the ingredients you laid out. There was a time, I was a pretty good cook. I woke this morning to a request from my daughter for a couple of my old recipes mainly the succotash one, funny how these things happen, it can't be getting cool where she is, not like she's in Alaska somewhere, but, I guess these types of meals are on a number of people's minds already being fall temps are around the corner for some. I forget that living here in FL.

Kadee, thanks for the recipe non-recipe. :) I will be sure to let you know how it turns out as soon as I give it a try.



PS, Have I ever mention right out of HS, I attended a culinary school, I was actually studying to be a dietician at that time but had to take hours and hours of cooking classes which included turning radishes and other veggies into floral designs, I hated every minute of those classes couldn't get out of that school fast enough. The tips of my fingers hurt every time I recall those radishes.
April I forgot to mention , I also add potatoes, Swede And a few frozen peas when I put the veg back in
 
Chicken chili, roasted chicken thighs with carrots and celery and cassoulet. Not all at the same meal though.

Beyond delicious. Holly. I will have to cook some sort of beef, even if I do not eat it, just for some Yorkshire Pudding. Think if I just cook down some chopped beef...for the drippings, it will work?
Capt'n Lightening...oh, Scotch Broth. One of my favorite soups as a child. The more tripe in it, the better I liked it. I shall have to find a recipe to make it. I never have. Hope I like it as well now.
 
Tripe!! Never.

The principal ingredients are usually barley, stewing or braising cuts of mutton or lamb and vegetables such as carrots and swede. Cabbage or leeks are often added shortly before serving to preserve their texture.

Of course there are national variations of similar dishes such as Irish Stew or Lancashire Hotpot.
 
Really. Neighbors, when I was growing up, were from Scotland. So I thought it was authentic Scotch Broth. Had lamb, barley and lots of vegetables also. And lots of tripe and was peppery. They would always invite me for lunch when they cooked it.
 
Homemade soup, tuna casserole..which I haven't made in years...I used the cream of celery and cream of mushroom soups, chopped olives...oh, all the good stuff, with crushed potato chips on top, oh and egg noodles. It was a salt and calorie bomb I kind of gave up, but I might make it sometime. Baked Rigatoni. I love baked chicken and dressing.pot roast with veggies cooking all day. Rice, ground beef, and peppers skillet. I love zucchini squash and mushrooms sautéed with onion in olive oil and served over rice for meatless meal.

Breakfast for dinner is nice. Scrambled eggs or an omelette..with fresh fruit.
