Comfort food In the Cold

Updated: Mar 19, 2019

Reason for the season – here we are in the middle of the winter and because of the fact that it cold you start to think about the nice warmth from the hot summer teas of honey apple cinnamon, to Red Velvet Hot coco, and what about soup to warm you up, a Pot Pie to Fill you up or a casrol. So let dig in on the favorite winter time favorites to keep us warm in the winter time. I remember when I was a Kid my mom would go to the store and she would go and get pot pies, it started out with the Banquet Brand and then I got up and got older I loved the Stouffers pot pies in chicken or Beef and then Marie pies. So full and some so big and filling and it was the best comfort food.  When you get home from school on a cold Rainy or Snowy Day you get home and my mother would cook up a chicken soup that was full of Vegetable, Chicken chopped up and the spaghetti Noodles and then they would swell up with that chicken Broth perfectly Flavored. And you love that flavor the seasoning the chicken seasoned to perfections... so Lets get in this kitchen and get comfortable.
