Color of the day: Crimson Incense of the day: Mulberry In many areas winter has settled in, and we are possibly stuck indoors, with storms, short days, and bad weather. To pass the time, work with Hestia, goddess of the hearth, to make food that is warm, comforting, and healthy. Crockpot soups and stews are good on a cold, dark, and windy day. Chicken soup, beef stew, homemade spaghetti sauce, and vegetable soups are just some of the dishes that will make the house smell comfortable while they cook in the crockpot. Use Google to find a recipe that will appeal to you. Keep items in stock like root vegetables (potaotes, onions), herbs and spices, and frozen veggies to create your dish without having to run out to the store. And remember that bread machine you've got stashed under the kitchen counter? There is nothing like fresh, homemade bread with a good soup or stew. |
