Sorry it's been so long but we're finally back! We have a couple of recipes coming up that are great for these cold winter months. But, in the meantime, we're giving away a $25 gift card to Cracker Barrel. It's such a great winter restaurant to go to because they have that awesome fireplace that makes you feel so nice and cozy. It seems like every time we eat there we have to stand by the fire a little before the meal and after. We love it!
To enter this giveway just tell us... what is your favorite thing to eat during the winter? Oh...and leave your email address so we can reach you. :)
This giveaway will end Wednesday night at 7:00 pm.
Good luck!!
Congratulations to Melissa (entry # 55)! You are the winner of the Cracker Barrel gift card. A big thanks to all of you for all your comments. We had so much fun reading them.

ReplyDeleteA Happy New Year to you Brooke and Paige!
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness! We don't have "winter" here in Hawaii but I'll try to answer this question anyway. {GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU, YOU'VE BEEN AWAY TOO LONG! :)} Missed y'all!
Okay, New Year's is a big celebration here in Hawaii. There are lots of family traditions from various ethnic groups (Hawaii is known as the "melting pot") and many different foods eaten during this time. I enjoy eating sashimi/poke (raw fish), shoyu pork (Okinawan dish), and ozoni soup (Japanese soup made with chicken stock, ozoni {similar to watercress}, and mochi {rice cake}). Boy you got a lesson in culture didn't you! :)

Easy - my favorite thing to eat in the winter is soup! I live in AZ so it's warm 80% of the time. So when we have 2 or 3 cold months, I take advantage of it and eat/cook as much soup as I can!
ReplyDeleteMmmm... I love tamales in the winter time. It's the only time my husband has enough time off work to stay home and help me make them!
ReplyDeletekarlihughes@hotmail.com

Dear Thai Food...spicy, warm, delicious Thai Food,
ReplyDeleteHow you warm me.
How you comfort me.
I'd eat you in a train,
I'd eat you in the rain
I'd eat you on the moon
I'd eat you with a spoon.
Pad Thai Noodles,
Pad Thai Basil Chicken, extra spicy
Tom Yum Soup
You are all wonderful to me.
In the wintertime, when it is so cold and drab, I can count on you to warm me up, through and through. You're spicy, you're tasty, you are like warm sunshine on my skin. But alas, I live in Florence, Alabama
which is so far away from Thai Garden in Huntsville that
I cannot enjoy you.
So unless Paige lets me hide in the backseat next time they go
it will be awhile until I have you.
Until then I will think of you constantly.
Signed,
A Winter Thai Food Lover

ReplyDeleteYay! I am glad y'all are back! I love to eat soup in the winter time. I just got this recipe today and I am going to make it tonight in preparation for the "big" snow we are supposed to get tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteTex-Mex Chicken Taco Soup (Food Network)
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup diced green bell peppers
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Vegetable oil
1 pound chicken breasts, boiled and shredded
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 (8-ounce) jar salsa (I used Rotel tomatoes instead)
1 (14-ounce) can kernel corn
1 (14-ounce) can hominy (Left out this time because I did not have any)
1 (16-ounce) can ranch style beans ( I used black beans)
2 (4-ounce) cans tomato paste ( Only used one can and it tasted fine)
2 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese ( I only used a 1/2 a pkg)
Directions:
Saute onions, green bell peppers, and garlic in a small amount of vegetable oil. Add chicken, taco seasoning mix, salsa, vegetables, beans, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Adjust liquid to your liking. Bring to a slow simmer and simmer for 20 minutes. Place cream cheese in a separate bowl. Using a measuring cup, take some of the hot liquid from the soup and pour over cream cheese to melt and then add back to the soup. Simmer on low for another 10 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips and grated Monterey jack cheese.
Also, great on the second day over rice.

I LOVE Chili in the winter! Just love it! I made a pot today because it's been cold and blistery. It has snowed for over a week without a moments break so I thought some Chili and scrapping would make for a GREAT day! :-)
