Your favourite winter comfort foods?

[MrsFabuloso]

*DROOOL* LOL, yum girls, might have to be getting some recipes and trying some of these

Right now, I'm getting me some hot tea and buttered toast....we don't have any yummy crusty bread and the bakery is closed this time on a Sunday but toast will do....oohh, I might have some crumpets in the freezer! Yum, buttery honey crumpets! Another wintry fave, along with honey porridge. Mmmmm.

And I'm supposed to be trying to lose weight, lol! Though comfort food doesn't have to be unhealthy! Stews and soups are usually pretty healthy! And rice pudding isn't too bad, without the cream (well, I'm going to convince myself of that anyway!)

Osso bucco that has been cooking in the slow cooker all day, meat meltingly soft, bone marrow plump and juicy, nom nom nom

The only thing that keeps me going through winter is the food. I always look forward to pumpkin soup and my dad's split pea and bacon bone soup - which he'll usually make big batches of and give to us (though I've been doing a pretty good version of my own in the slow cooker this year).

I also really love roasts - beef/lamb/pork - doesn't matter as long as it is with some roast vegies and hot gravy.

I also love using my slow cooker and smelling the foods all afternoon. I'm making a chilli con carne in it this week and looking forward to eating that with some hot crusty bread.

Funny enough these winter foods are usually the easiest to make - just prepare, chuck in the slow cooker or oven and a few hours later - serve!!! Its the easiest cooking season I think.

I'm making Lemon Butter today in my whizz bang contraption. Really easy Awesome on Freshly toasted bread with a nice hot cup of tea.

Frangipani there is a great recipe around here for conbread which I make with Polenta and it goes awesomely with Chili.

Curry (but they're great in summer too - nothing like a bucket load of sweat to cool you down)
Slow cooked lamb shanks.

ooooo I want that cornbread recipe!!!!!

My favourites are a good beef/lamb curry, chilli, casserole, porcupines (from my childhood!), risotto.....

Any sort of old fashioned pudding...sticky date, self saucing, golden syrup dumplings, rice pudding, bread and butter pudding....I also LOVE a good fruit pie or crumble!!

MMmmmmm, having a comfort food day today. DH is making roast butternut pumpkin soup and I'm making roast beef with veggies and gravy. I love winter sunday cooking.

I just made some homemade Sausage Rolls, a delish pie for tea and the prep work for the yummiest meatball soup ever. My house smells yummy and my DH is complaining that he has eaten to much.

Rouge, I love lemon butter, haven't had it since I was a kid.
