When it gets colder outside, stews are always a good idea. A simple and easy Potato Brussels Sprouts & Sausage Stew bubbling on the stove is always very welcome in our house. Even if the Brussels sprouts aren’t everyone’s favorite veggie, we love the combination with potatoes and sausages. It’s the perfect comfort food for us!
For us, a simple Chili con Carne is a dish that is usually prepared for parties – although it’s also a great meal for lunch or dinner. You just have to cook a big pot and then you can enjoy it for several days. Well… or serve make a large party crowd happy right after midnight, when everybody is hungry after all that singing and dancing. ;P
Do you like soup? We do, but to be honest, we prefer soups that have a lot of stuff added. A homemade potato soup, chicken soup or this Simple & Easy Hungarian Goulash Soup, for example. A delicious dish my family always loved to prepare when it’s colder outside. Give us a clear soup with just a noodle or two, and you will see only sad faces. ;P
Stews are not only delicious when it’s cold outside. A dish like this Stew with Lentils, Potatoes & Smokey Sausage tastes great all year round and is therefore something you can cook any day of the year. You might not need this as a warming dish in the height of summer, but if you are looking for something tasty, it does not matter if it’s freezing or hot outside. ;P
A simple stew is the perfect dish for a cold winter’s day. You can make a dish like that on any other day of the year, of course, but during the colder months you simply get more out of it. A stew like this Vegan Mushroom & Beans Stew will warm you from the inside. It’s also delicious, of course. No matter what season we’re in right now. ;)
We prepare simple stews almost every week in autumn and winter. We usually have all the ingredients you need for a stew at home. Even for this simple Stew with Beans, Lentils & Knackwurst, we typically have everything that’s needed in the cupboards or fridge. It never hurts to keep a few dry beans and lentils at hand ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
