As the weather cools, there is nothing better than sitting down to a warm bowl and a crusty piece of bread.
For stews this winter, try some popular winter vegetables including potatoes, carrots, leeks, and celeriac. Mushrooms can add depth and complexity to your recipes and your favorite protein can make your stew into a full meal. Stick with the standards like a hearty Irish Stew or explore new flavors with Coconut Chicken Curry.
Soups can be the central dish or a delicious side. A roasted winter squash makes a creamy addition to any meal or create a minestrone to integrate all your veggies into a delicious offering. Classics like French Onion soup are always family favorites while a Broccoli Cheddar can warm the coldest winter night.
Crockpots can help to take the burden of cooking after a long day. There are so many delicious, easy, one pot recipes that you can start in the morning and enjoy when you are ready. Combine the love of a stew with the ease of the crockpot with a slow cooker beef stew or enjoy a slow cooker zucchini soup.
Take inspiration from the uniquely winter offerings to create new options and family favorites this year!
