While hot summer days can leave us dreading dinnertime, there’s nothing like cooler weather to re-ignite our interest in cooking. The kitchen goes from a sauna to a cozy place where we can stay warm and share a hearty meal with family and friends.
In the summertime, we like our meals simple, with as little cooking as possible. But we’re down for investing a little more time in our dinner in the winter. If you feel the same, check out our list below for the ultimate cold-weather meals you’ll have on repeat all winter long.
1. Butternut Squash Chipotle Chili
Warm and comforting, there’s nothing like chili to ring in cool weather. Our favorite recipe just so happens to be vegetarian, and while we think you won’t miss the meat, you can easily add in ground beef or turkey if you want to bulk it up.
2. Chicken Thighs with Apples, Onions & White Cheddar Polenta
In our opinion, chicken thighs are the juicier, more flavorful version of the overdone chicken breast. Pair it with white cheddar polenta and you have a totally gourmet meal you’ll be thinking about for days.
3. Slow Cooker Beef Ragu With Pappardelle
Slow cooker meals are perfect for winter days when you’re busy with work, skiing adventures, or holiday festivities. This beef ragu is full of flavor and will leave you feeling like you’re eating straight from your Italian grandma’s kitchen.
4. The Best Chicken Soup You’ll Ever Eat
Tired of the typical mix of dry chicken breast and basic broth in your chicken soup? Then it’s time to take things to the next level. Monique of Ambitious Kitchen calls this The Best Chicken Soup You’ll Ever Eat, and we’re not here to argue with that. You’ll use fresh thyme and rosemary, and swap noodles for more exotic Israeli couscous. Bon appetite!
5. Ultimate Gourmet Grilled Cheese
When you’re short on time, a gourmet grilled cheese is here to save the day. Caramelized onions, luxurious Gruyere cheese, and rosemary butter come together in a truly magnificent sandwich. No sharing with the kids on this one!
