Like it or not, many of us have become homebodies thanks to the escalating Covid crisis. I actually love these Winter days and nights. Cooking is terrific therapy, and comfort food feeds the soul like nothing else. I searched the Internet looking for recipes that felt cozy, and gained five pounds doing so. You're welcome. Start planning your weekend meals with these 16 recipes, and a few new cookbooks. Bon Appétit!
One Pot 30 Minute Creamy Pasta
Bake
Fast and full of flavor. That's a winning recipe. The creaminess comes from goat cheese, mozzarella, and fontina cheese, Then there is the full fat coconut milk or heavy cream. Rich and delicious!
Creamy Mushroom Polenta
Gluten Free
Warm, Hearty, and rich with a zing from Chimichurri. This dish would make me so happy. Oh how I love Polenta!
True Comfort
Today I watched Kristin prepare a white bean chili on TV. It sure looked good, and it was healthy, too! You will find that recipe and more in her latest cookbook.

What a great way to serve your veggies. Those vegetables for Winter are celery, potatoes, and acorn squash. The aromas coming from your kitchen are thanks to thyme, oregano, and rosemary.
These yummy looking doughnuts are actually half way healthy. They are baked not fried, made with coconut oil, whole wheat flour, sweet maple syrup
(no refined sugar). The secret ingredient is pumpkin puree. Then they are all dunked, dipped, and glazed with really good chocolate.
Yum!
Well this is different. I have not had whipped parsnips, have you? The short ribs cook for 4 hours. I can only imagine the fabulous fragrant flavor!
Your favorite recipes made Keto healthy.
Could anything sound more delicious? It's a bit extravagant, but one could swap out almost any protein, to make it more affordable. Personally, I'm sticking with lobster!
Italian Shellfish Stew
This is perfect for those of us that want something warm and comforting, without the fat and calories of anything creamy or cheesy. This dish makes a lovely low calorie lunch or dinner
A recipe that is buttery and boozy? I'm in, and dig in is just what I would love to do. Croissants are used along with seven other simple ingredients. Feel free to use all of the rum you wish!
This soup is always my choice for comfort. It's a beautiful recipe that's made with caramelized onions, Grueyre cheese and fresh thyme.
This couldn't be easier or more comforting. Love the idea of adding a bit of sweetness to the cheese.
I'll let Ina describe her latest cookbook with her own words: "Seriously satisfying and delicious food that will feed your soul."
Luxe French Potatoes
This is my new way to make mashed potatoes! Not only is it beautiful, it must have tons of flavor. With ingredients like Grueyre and Mozzarella cheese, heavy cream, and nutmeg, how could these be anything but delicious?
Epicurious
I still have never had Monkey Bread. Maybe it is a suburban thing, as no one in the city even talks about it. This boozy baked bread deserves a huge shout out. I mean chocolate and bourbon are one delicious duo!
Here is a twist on French Onion Soup. The recipe includes hints and tips on how to caramelize onions. It will be worth
your time.
This recipe is free of all the bad stuff like gluten, dairy, and refined sugar. It's also Vegan and Gluten Free. There's a last minute addition of dark chocolate. It balances the heat and provides a depth of flavor. Trying this one!
Warm and comforting, who could turn down a bite of these? The recipe calls for tart apples. I would use Honeycrisp. They never fail me in pies.
Classically cooked in beef stock and red wine. A cozy and delicious meal for family or friends.
