I love comfort food in winter. Every Sunday I cook up a big pot of various soups, stews, chili, or a meat and gravy dish with mashed potatoes. My husband and I then reheat the leftovers for the following week as our lunches at work. I’m a city mail carrier so I’m outdoors in single digit or below zero temps all day and cracking open my thermos with a nice steamy meal inside at lunchtime is heaven. In summer we grill on Sunday and then we take chilled salads and sandwiches all week. Some of my go-to dishes during winter are chicken soup, beef stew, pot roast, chili, creamed chicken, macaroni and cheese, meatloaf, spaghetti and meatballs, and lasagna. Another thing we do in winter is participate in providing a large pot of soup after our church services, the ladies (and some men) take turns bringing something in to provide a hot meal to the congregation and anyone else who happens to show up. This is in addition to the potluck we do every first Sunday of the month and the weekly Lenten luncheon we do.

Joe, thank you. I'm assuming a large slow cooker would mean 6 quarts or more.

Kate, all that sounds absolutely wonderful!!!

Yes, 6 quarts.

That is all. Carry on.

I made the Chocolate Cobbler for a gathering yesterday.

Caesar Chicken
Roasted Vegetables (frozen mix of brussels sprouts, butternut squash, onion)
Baked Potatoes
Tea (my iced mix of regular and earl grey)

GW brought a sweet-vinegar cabbage slaw with carrots, shallots, red and green bell peppers, cranberries, and he said a tinge of jalapeno.

Tony brought a multigrain bread loaf.
