teddogYes, I'm looking for winter recipes. I want to change the diet up a bit - blame the current brutal cold snap.
As for what a "winter recipe" is, these are recipes that you can't or won't cook during the summer. Usually the reasons have more to do with what foods are in season (fresh fruits and veggies get pricey here, but root veggies are cheap) and due to the effects that cooking has on the kitchen (I grew up with little AC and a crappy furnace, so we cooked with the weather).
In terms of what I have to cook with, I have a oven, a stove, a rice cooker and a slow cooker. Standard pans and such. No grill or food processer. I also have a microwave, but I rarely use it because I don't have counter space and it weighs a lot.
Oh, and these recipes need to be poultry free due to medical reasons. Otherwise, anything goes - meat, veggie, vegan, from any culture you can think of. I'm an omnivore that LIKES tofu because of the wide range of seasoning you can do to it, if that gives you any idea. I'm especially interested in stews and soups.
