Cold Weather Cooking
Provencal Seafood Stew from Healthy. Delicious.
They said this was going to be a cold winter for us here in New England, and they weren't kidding! It seems like every other week a new storm is in forecast, and the arctic days seem to stretch on and on. I mean really - we're in the thick of Polar Vortex #2, and before this winter I don't know that any of even knew that a polar vortex existed! Aside from bundling up in your warmest winter garb, and pushing that thermostat to it's absolute limit, there's not a lot we can do but wait it out - and cook up a warm meal to feed the soul in the process.
This time of year, slow cookers are a kitchen favorite, as are recipes served piping hot fresh off the stove or out of the oven. We did some digging around the web, and compiled a short round-up of recipes that sounded good to us, and we figured you'd like them too.
