Slow Food
Post Author: Stacey MeyerSlow cooking is perfect for the winter weather. When the temperatures are dipping down below freezing I suddenly don’t feel like doing much. This is great weather for hunkering down and cooking up some hearty dishes like Pozole, Chuck Wagon Chili or even an Italian meatball soup with Swiss chard and pasta. Here in the test kitchen we have pulled out the crock pot and the Dutch oven and it feels like things are warming up. There is nothing more comforting than Bouef Bourguignon or a Lentil Stew chock full of root vegetables on a cold winter day. The aroma of bacon and onions wafts through the hallways of our office. People peek their heads in the door to see what we are up to. It seems to lift everyone’s spirits. If you are feeling like the winter blues are setting in just pull out your pots and pans and dust off your crock pot, get in the kitchen and get cooking.

Agree!
I’ve already got boneless pork chops ready to fire up in the crock pot tomorrow before I head out for the day.

I made a great Minestrone yesterday. I love hearty soups in the winter. Of course, in New Orleans winter is short lived. It will be about 70 degrees today not really conducive to hearty meals. But we can pretend.

I love Coq au Vin! Just made it last weekend and it was fabulous!!! I let it stew in the oven for 2-1/2 hours and the meat just melted in our mouths.
