Your favourite winter comfort foods?

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.

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.

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.

Oh boy, that sounds amazing Rouge. I used to make Lemon Butter with my nan as a little tacker, such lovely memories.

You're a girl after my own heart n2l, not much stands between me and a good pudding. Golden syrup dumplings, om nom nom. Do you make them??

Other winter favourites are mac & cheese, lamb stew with herb dumplings, fish pie and anything with polenta. Baked potatoes with all the fixings. Campfire/bonfire food, like damper and toasted marshmallows. Endless cups of tea with apple tea cake or warm banana bread.

So. Hungry.
