After the festivities of December, the month of January is a time to get cozy at home. Winter weather is so conducive to cuddling up and cooking. Cure your cravings with savory soups, hearty mains, cozy side dishes, and delicious desserts.
Crockpot French Onion Soup with Cheesy French Toast
This soup is my number one cozy recipe for Winter. I have not made it yet, but I plan on enjoying some with a glass of champagne this weekend. What could be more perfect?
Ina Garten's Roast Chicken
For many, nothing is more comforting or cozy than a whole chicken in the oven. Not to me, but I do concede that the aroma is appealing. This recipe is simple and satisfying.
High on my list for cozy cuisine is Mac 'N Cheese. This one is different from the rest. It calls for both smoked cheddar and smokey Gruyere! Don't you love the brown topping? It makes it look so appealing.
There's nothing better than a warm dessert on a cold winter's night. It's made with Cinnamon Raison Toast, which I haven't had in years. Sounds like a winner.
This recipe rates #4 on the Williams Sonoma readers awards list for 2022. Just by looking at the image, I can see why. It is said to feature robust Italian flavors. Just yum!
Chicken and Stars Soup
For this flu and cold season (and do I dare mention Covid?) You need to keep this recipe handy, The lemon in it is so good for you. And you know what they say about chicken soup, it's good for the soul! If your market doesn't sell stars pasta. Amazon does. Just tap here
Caramelized Apple Cinnamon Dutch Baby Pancake
I tried to make one of these recently. It was a royal flop, but it wasn't this same recipe. This Dutch Baby is puffy, buttery, and gooey. I can't wait to try again.
Low and slow are the words that describe the cooking method for this delicious dish. Serve it with wide egg noodles, mashed potatoes or just warm crusty bread and a salad. It is said to have an intense flavor profile. I am sure the red wine helps with that.
Roasted Garlic and Prosciutto Cream Cheese Dip with Hot Honey
I wish that I had found this recipe last week when I entertained at cocktail hour. In my view, hot honey makes everything better. The perfect thing to serve when there's a hungry crowd.
Iowa Girl Eats
It's not often you get warm cake of any flavor. Make it warm, gooey and chocolate, and you are calling my name. Bourbon and vanilla are added to intensify the flavors. Oh boy!
When in doubt, we do meatballs. This is an easy recipe they say can be made in 30 minutes.
Oh this recipe reminds me of the restaurant "Grill on The Alley," which was once a favorite in Chicago. They made a lot of great things, and this was one of them. Now I think I need to make this. Indulgent but once in a while.....
Truffle Mac & Cheese
Earthy, decadent, and a mushroom lovers (me) dream. They say, easy to make, too!
Apple Dumplings with Sauce
Warm and comforting. Just add ice cream. With 26 five star reviews, it may just be worth trying.
Amaretto Coffee
This amaretto coffee is "part drink, part winter dessert, and 100 percent irresistible." Just add booze!
