It's that time of year, the snow that blows is starting to stick and we want to stay inside and just admire it from the cozy confines of our homes, especially the toasty kitchen!
Snow is pretty, from afar... and when somebody else has to shovel it. But it is cold. Face it, we need extra comforting in these months, for body
and for soul. And what better way to comfort ourselves than with
food?
Of course I love a warm pig belly for my aching feet!
But we are talking about the dishes that
warm the belly, and
fill the soul. Slow cooked dishes that give big flavour and fill you up. Mommy-loves-me foods that will stick with you and make you feel safe - even if it
is your turn to walk the dogs, take out the garbage, or *shudder* shovel the driveway.
Thick and
gooey, warm and toasty,
rich and flavourful. Winter comfort foods on this, the edge of winter, that make you forget just how long this season is going to be.
So whip up a comforting
Giada dish, from one of her books or online, that
Warms the Belly and
Fills the Soul. Post it on or by
December 5th so we can all share in your tasty dish!

Great post Natashya--very warming. Although it doesn't get too cold here I am all for filling both my belly and my soul with comfort food. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAh yes, pork belly always comforts me :) Looking forward to finding something good and warming this week!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I need one of those warm little pig bellies.
ReplyDeleteLove the warm pig belly. I could go for that right now. Maybe my dog will pretend.
ReplyDeleteI went with something stuffed this week. Stuffed is comforting to me.
I couldn't resist the warm pig belly from Alice in Wonderland - it was the first thing I thought of!
ReplyDeleteDeb - I am sure it gets pretty blowy there. We have been having seriously high winds here, making it feel a lot colder than it is.
I hear the west coast is getting lots of snow though.
I cooked this lovely warming soup
ReplyDeleteIt is getting really cold outside overhere
Love me some warm pig belly!
ReplyDeleteI like that warm pig belly...funny! Off to see what everyone else has prepared :-0
ReplyDeleteTina- I tried leaving a comment on your post and it looks like they were turned off. I'm laughing because I almost chose the same recipe and subbed ramen noodles too. Looks great to me!
ReplyDeleteHaving a crazy week so I went very low effort--Little Stars with Butter & Parmesan. Couldn't be simpler & perfect comfort food. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSpuds are up! ☺
ReplyDeleteJust posted my food-coma-inducing pancetta and cinnamon waffles. They should come with a warning :)
ReplyDeleteI copied Deb and went with adorable little stars this week! Oh, and Kim- those are actually on my list, they do look killer, I'll admit.
