Cool Weather and Comfort Food: You Know It’s Coming, Don’t You?
It’s hard to miss the signs here in the heart of the Midwestern United States. No doubt the same thing is happening all over the northern hemisphere. With the advent of cooler days, longer nights, football in the stadiums and autumnal color on the trees, it’s time to think about serving up a slew of your favorite cool weather comfort foods for dinner.
(Sorry for talking “fall weather” to you readers in the southern hemisphere, especially those of you in Australia and New Zealand. I know it’s springtime for you… But keep reading, you won’t want to miss the book I discuss at the end of the post…)
No Doubt You Have an All-time Favorite Hearty and Comforting Meal
When it comes to comfort foods, my favorite – hands down – is a fabulous beef pot roast, complete with potatoes, carrots, onions, and maybe some green beans. All slow-cooked or stewed in a delicious tomato-based beefy gravy. Served with homemade biscuits on the side… With perhaps a nice hot apple cobbler for dessert.
