Winter Meals

2.08.2013

In winter nothing soothes me like hot drinks, and food. I love walking into a kitchen where the oven's been on all day, and there's always a fresh pot of coffee waiting for me. It's not only comforting, but soul warming. You could say that I'm pretty passionate about good food, and it's never more true than in the colder months. Here's a peek into what our winter menu has looked like this year:
1. Turkey empanadas with cranberry sauce
2. Fried rice with vegetables and fried egg on top
3. Homemade butternut squash soup with biscuits
4. Sliced apples to go with grilled cheeses

What are some winter dishes you've been preparing lately? I love trying new things. big kiss, bekuh

  1. oh my gosh, i think my husband would die for the turkey empanadas, might need that recipe asap.

    in the winter we like to make fresh homemade chicken noodle soup (cliche i know)
    and something about some nice warm homemade pizza always is good too.

  2. Looks delish. I'm sipping on some Earl Grey tea as I catch up on blogs :)

    Some of my fav winter foods are chili, stew, and sausage gravy and biscuits (actually, I like that all year long)!

  3. I've been big on soups. And grilled cheese sandwiches (accompanied by tomato soup, of course).

    All your food looks lovely. Have a great weekend!

  7. You are making me feel very, very lazy in the kitchen. ;)

    Those empanadas look awesome. We do a lot of grilled cheese in the wintertime. It's so comforting. That and chili. Yum.

  8. It all looks so delicious! I tend to make "boring" dishes, like spaghetti or tacos or a chicken dish. Dec last year, I branched out and made a yummy butternut squash stew with quinoa (which reminds me, I need to make it again). I've also just discovered that I love avocados and have a bit of an obsession with them right now. Could eat a egg, tomato & avocado toasted sandwich every night...sadly the rest of the family doesn't agree with me.

  10. We're big fans of comfort food in the winter as well, grilled cheeses and soup are our favorite lazy day meal.

  11. good food makes my heart happy. I've been craving chili and cornbread lately and it is too perfect for the winter months so I think I may need to make some soon.

Thank you so much for your feedback! I love hearing what others think and/or feel about Secondhand Sundays. I ask you keep things positive and I will do the same. big kiss, bekuh
