Question of the Day Sunday 3 November, 2019

[Mia6]

HELLO AND HAPPY SUNDAY!!!!

It's getting chilly here and in other places. What do you like to eat and drink to keep you warm and cozy?
I like grilled cheese and tomato soup, hot cocoa,chili; my mother used to make a spinach salad with warm bacon dressing, so good. I also drink a lot of herbal teas. Toasted sourdough bread, yum.

How about you in places like OZ where it's getting warm? My friend who lives in Sydney loves mango milkshakes.

What do you like?

 

[Winchester]

I'm happy with my morning coffee to drink, but will make hot cocoa from time to time. I'm a fiend for toast any time of the year. I love chili during the colder months.

 

[Columbine]

Being a Brit, I can't do without my tea. That's always my go-to to warm up. I love chai lattes and matcha lattes too. All made with almond milk for choice, or other plant milks (I'm vegan).

I adore miso soup too.

 

[verna davies]

I love chicken soup in a big mug, wrap my hands around it and sip away.

 

[maggiedemi]

Soups, Casseroles, Toasted/Grilled Sandwiches, Bagel sandwiches, Omelets, hot sauce.

I used to drink flavored cappuccinos, but it seems like they are called lattes now? I used to love the hot chocolate at Sunoco in the machine. I don't know if they still have it. I stopped drinking sugary drinks to eliminate extra calories, but maybe I will start having one once in a while again.

 

[di and bob]

I love chili in the winter, and a good meatloaf with a baked potato. Macaroni and cheese is good too!

 

[Jem]

Any hearty comfort food will do! Shepherds pie, pasta casseroles, soups and stews, meatloaf, etc...I like tea, hot chocolate, apple cider, coffee...it all depends on my mood. Warm biscuits or rolls with lots of butter goes well with any hearty meal.
Oh, and I don't know why meatloaf has such a bad rap. It's great! At least the way I make it anyway.

 

[muffy]

Chili

 

[jcat]

Hot soups or stews with plenty of coffee or tea.

 

[EmersonandEvie]

Chili though I don't make it as often as I'd like because DH doesn't care for it...

 

[NY cat man]

Vegetable beef soup, chili, hot ham and Swiss cheese sandwiches on grilled homemade bread, and hot tea.

 

[posiepurrs]

Chili though I don't make it as often as I'd like because DH doesn't care for it...

My hubby doesn't like chili either, but I will make a pot of it and freeze individual portions for the nights he wants something that I don't like. For the colder weather, I love the comfort foods - chili, chicken and dumplings, beef barley soup, home made of course! To drink I have my coffee in the AM but if really cold later in the day I will drink hot chocolate. Wish I liked hot tea since there are less calories.

 

[rubysmama]

I eat a lot of soups in the winter time. I also drink more tea. And occasionally I have hot chocolate.

Wish I liked hot tea since there are less calories.

Do you like lemon? If so, try Green Tea with lemon flavouring. It's a bit harder to find, but is the only kind of tea I like. Some are better than others, so if you don't like one, try another. The first one I ever tried was (3 Boxes) Bigelow Green Tea with Lemon, Tea Bags, 20 Ct - Walmart.com

 

[denice]

Many casseroles and chili. The one thing I miss about being the one that hosts and cooks much of the Thanksgiving dinners is the casseroles that I would make with the leftovers.

 

[susanm9006]

Pretty much all winter long I will have a cup of cocoa and a slice of buttered toast as my evening snack.

 

[Kat0121]

It never really gets that cold here so that's really not an issue. I do love soups though. Coffee is always appropriate as is toast. I like tea but it's not my go to. Usually only if I don't feel well. Not a big fan of chili but DD loves it. I don't eat stews because I don't like it when vegetables are cooked in gravy or broth. They get soggy. I will slow cook a roast or something in gravy but the potatoes/vegetables are cooked separately.

 

[aliceneko]

Always tea or coffee, but in the winter months I like drinking hot chocolate and Ovaltine too.

 

[lizzie]

Soups and stews are my favorite things during the winter months.That's also when I drink hot teas quite a bit.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I love soups. Basically anything with corn is something I'll probably love. I don't really drink hot drinks. If I do it will either be hot cocoa or apple cider.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I stopped drinking coffee daily last winter. (I still get one from Dunkin a few times a month.) I will make herbal tea when its cold but the idea was to cut sugars down so I’m trying to moderate that too. I do love hot chocolate or a chai latte too.

I have been missing it first thing in the morning lately though.

I’m a big fan of crockpot cooking; so anything you can do in there is good to us in the winter. I make chili a lot. Beef Stroganoff in the crockpot is amazing! Porcupine meatballs. Anything really. I’m making chicken with corn and black beans in enchilada sauce tomorrow. It’s good!
