Winter Foods

What is your favorite Winter Meal? I guess with our winter here I am inspired to talk about food. Lately for me it is about nice creamy soups, so easy to make and served with a crusty roll it is the way to go. Plus being a pechetarian I like the variety of vegies and fish out there. I know my husband prefers potatoes and meat dish. He is easy to please though and will enjoy what I am making, I guess being the main cook in the family you pick what you like more often than not.

I also like scones, pastries and naughty desserts during winter, perhaps my body is telling me to eat up, as I do need the extra calories for breastfeeding. Love the excuse and hope to use this for a while yet. What else do I Like for winter?

Raclette is a favorite, it is melted cheese cooked on a grill with garlic bread, potatoes and condiments. It is very European, the Swiss/French/Germans love Raclette, the Germans add more condiments than their neighbours, gerkins, onions, chicken, egg whatever that can be grilled I suppose. It is a very social meal as you gather around the 6-8 person grill and do your own cheese. It is divine.

Easy to prepare and easy to eat, you need to wash it down with vino and a glass of kirsch afterwards, this helps the cheese go down.

I also love hot chocolates during winter, with soy or rice milk. Yummy

So what do you like to eat during winter?
