You know what I love about the winter? Easy meals. You can throw anything in a crockpot, casserole dish, or microwave plate for some meals that warm the belly and warm your house.
As of late, I am eating acorn squash. For 15 minutes on high, I get a delicious little veggie serving with a little indulgence of maple syrup or splenda and cinnamon. Yum yum yum.
If I had my crock pot out here in DC, which, really is my mom's so I guess I don't really have one, but you know what I mean. Anyway, I would throw in some chicken, some stock, some potatoes, turn it on and go to work. Here are the basics to crockpot gold:
Meat
Soup/Stock
Potatoes
Perhaps some veggies
Done and done. Mix your flavors and your soup/stock and you've basically created delicious every time.
Side note: make sure that you actually turn on the crockpot before you leave. Not that I'm telling you from experience, or anything, but let's just say it was a sandwich night and a waste of a roast. Womp womp.
What are your go-to winter meals?
I love using my crock pot, but hate cleaning it. Thank goodness for the Reynolds Liners!
ReplyDeleteI love simple meals. The fewer ingredients the better. Turkey breast rubbed down with butter and sprinkled with onion soup mix. 8 hours on low. Yum. Yum. Yum.
