So, it's been snowing off and on this week. I live somewhere that it doesn't usually snow...we're
LOVING it! I feel like a kid just staring out the back door going, "Look Pumpkin Doodles! It's SNOWING! It's SNOWING!" Of course, Pumpkin Doodles gets excited, but not nearly as much as her silly mom. The photo was taken on my camera phone before the snow got really piled up. I'm horrible at downloading photos off my real camera. lol
I'm one of those crazy moms who likes to be cooped up in cold weather like this. I've been helping the little one build forts and coloring pictures for daddy (from printables online...I'm posting some of them.) Luckily, she loves to sit in her highchair to watch me bake Christmas goodies, too. I should be tackling my Christmas cards that just got in, but I'm not. I'm thinking the weekend will be reserved for that and hot cocoa. :)

I found this fabulously-yummy-great-for-cold-days recipe at allrecipes.com ...
INGREDIENTS
1 onion, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can chili beans
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts
shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
sour cream (optional)
crushed tortilla chips (optional)
*I add 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp cumin and sub a can of chicken broth for the beer.
DIRECTIONS
1. Place the onion, chili beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, beer, and diced tomatoes in a slow cooker. Add taco seasoning, and stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts on top of the mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by the other ingredients. Set slow cooker for low heat, cover, and cook for 5 hours.
2. Remove chicken breasts from the soup, and allow to cool long enough to be handled. Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup, and continue cooking for 2 hours. Serve topped with shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.

Now that I think about it, I don't have a favorite cold weather day meal. That Taco Soup recipe might be it though. It sounds so yummy.
This looks so good! It would be a great cold weather meal. I think soup or chili are what I like best on those cold days. I make those things a lot throughout the winter.
That would be Chili for sure!!! YUMMO!
Ooo...I won something. Exciting! And I think I'll be one of those moms who likes to hunker down and make forts in cold weather too. Heck, I'm hoping for snow here (which also happens rarely) so Hubby and I have an excuse to stay inside and snuggle in our PJs all day! Hope you are having a wonderful holiday!
left over stew
we throw all ourleft oveer meats, veggies, pasta, rice and tators into a large covered bowl in the freezer. once it is full we take it out, thaw it and cook it with some water and seasonings. thus left over stew. does not really take long since everything was precooked.
always different always good.
That soup looks divine!!! Never have made taco soup! My favorite cold weather meal...pizza..delivery...YES! I am not trying to be funny either!

That recipe sounds delightful! I love to eat either chicken noodle soup or chili on cold days! I'm jealous that you're getting snow--all we have in OK is FOG--boring!
Wonder how this would taste with something added in place of beer?
I love making either broccoli cheese soup or corn chowder. Yum!
Great deals and the recipe looks so good! I think I'll make it this weekend. The weather is perfect for it!
Thanks!

I absolutely fell in love with a Black Bean Soup recipe I tried about this time last year. That is our warm meal choice.
Stew with dumplings! I wish it were not in the 80's, otherwise I would make some :)
Soup is best in cold weather! YUM!
OH YUM! I have to add this to the menu!
My favorite cold weather meal is ramen! Very delicious specially when it is served hot.I'll try doing your chicken taco soup, 'cause it's so mouth-watering.
