    In the winter, I love drinking port or red wine next to a smokey fire, with some cheese, apples, pears and grapes. A plate of beef carpaccio, a shrimp cocktail, and little clams will be nice too. I would like to have some crusty bread, with salted butter…, and a lobster, some pan seared scallops, a salad of fresh garden greens with vinegar and oil. For dessert before the port, I would like to have a big square of Tiramisu, a slice of some uniquely flavored cheesecake, slices of ripe mangoes,…. :D I’m kind of hungry right now.

    slow cooker meal I made last night:

    4 chicken breasts (bonless, skinless)
    2 carrots sliced thinly
    1 can cream of chicken
    3/4 cup H2O
    1 cup wild rice

    put all into crock pot turn chicken to coat, cook on low 7-8 hours or high 3-4 hours.

    the chicken melts in your mouth! cheap, easy, yummy!

    So, we can leave up to six comments? Just thought of another comfort food I like……..Creamed Spinach……..guess I better add spinach to my shopping list! Yum!!!!!

    My fav slow cooker recipe is what I call “salsa chicken.” I put chicken breasts and a jar of store bought salsa in my slow cooker and let it go for 6 hours. I often add spinach and spices (cumin, pimenton, etc.), and maybe a can of black beans (drained), to jazz it up. When it comes out, the chicken is so tender it shreds with just a fork. I serve this over Spanish yellow rice, with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and other toppings we’re in the mood for. Also works in tacos as well. So easy it’s criminal.

    During the cold winter months nothing is as comforting as a nice mug of hot chocolate with mini marshmallows!

    My favorite winter dish is mac & cheese! Can’t beat the comfort foods during the cold months. My favorite winter drink would have to be classic hot chocolate.

    Every time I stop by I find something interesting. We LOVE your Peppermint Brownietini! It was my signature drink this Christmas. I pinned the Chocolate Cherry Chunk Cookie Bars, and just today saw the Italian Beer Bread…. making that tonight! . (I’m on a beer recipe kick at the moment.)

    Hi I ove your winter snow ice cream but I cannot make it…as Singapore does not have winter and hence no snow. I still love your method of making the snow ice cream! :)

    And, my favourite winter drink is hot chocolate. Right before bed, instead of trying to put all the heaters up on high, I love to sit up cozy in bed and sip down an almost-tongue scorching hot chocolate. My favourite kind is actually hot cocoa mix from Starbucks mixed with hot chocolate mix from Ghirardelli, topped off with a perfect amount of whipped cream.

    That hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning can’t be beat! Otherwise, soups, stew, roast, anything like that for winter fare. Come spring/summer have to switch to outdoor grilling.

    During these cold winter months I LOVE making my Buffalo Chicken Dip. It’s warm and melty and cheesey and delish! :D Of course, there’s hot cocoa and popcorn…that’s a nice cold weather comfort snack.

    I make an old-fashioned Apple Pudding (cake-ish cobbler) and serve it warm with a cinnamon caramel sauce… to die for! I’ve won baking contests with this recipe since I learned how to make it in middle school nearly 20 years ago.

    I’m from Cleveland and even though we’ve had a very mild winter, I love mixing it up with a Mexican themed night: chips with homemade salsa, quesadillas or fajitas with indoor grilled veggies, and don’t forget the margaritas! It helps to liven up cold, dreary days and gives you a break from all the heavy meat and potato based winter foods!

    And my favorite winter dish is white chicken chili, although now that it’s in the 70s, it doesn’t feel much like winter!

    My favorite cold weather dish is homemade chili, our way. I don’t think there is a food with such infinite varieties as chili. No family ever makes it exactly the same. I love it on a cold day.

    I’m confused as to whether my mandatory entry posted–I don’t see it, but if it did and this is a dupe, please disregard this.

    My best tip for staying active is to stretch out before bedtime. It relaxes my muscles, and clears my mind, both of which help me sleep better.
