The weather has cooled down and Fall is here. When the weather cools down I find myself making big thick pots of chili, soups & stews along with a nice loaf of fresh bread. What are some of your favorite cool weather dishes and recipes? I have a ton of apples so I have made apple everything the last week lol. Apple cobbler, apple pies, apple rolls, apple muffins, apple butter and apple sauce. I cannot tell you how much sugar I have gone through :eek:
 
My house in the summer is an oven. We haven't not gotten around to installing AC yet so for the past 2 years we have suffered the heat. At those times I stay away from my favorite type of cooking - braises and roasts. Now that it's cooling down I can finally turn on the oven again.
 
Chili, pumpkin pie, and Potatoes & Ham au-gratin:p And Boston Baked Beans & Boston Brown Bread, and a big old pot of Great Northern Beans and ham and homemade buttermilk biscuits!

Fall is coming!!

I Love to make Chili, just got some red kidney beans & chili powder today. I made a casserole tonight shells with a cream sauce some peas with tuna. I make a lot more Homemade deserts in colder weather: Cookie's, Pumpkin Pie, Apple Crisp. Cookie :)
 
Come cooler weather I crave baked goods, janie... By November I'm needin' the aromas of cinnamon, pumpkin, maple and mincemeat in my nostrils! Not to mention the richness of a turkey & sage-dressing, the smokiness of a whole ham, and the yeasty satisfaction of rolls & loaves of every type.

And like everyone else, I also enjoy thick, rich gravy-laden stews, soups and bubbling casseroles & bakes. Yum!
 
I love to make Chili and soups in cooler weather. My family especially loves potatoe soup and Taco soup.
 
While it hasn't quite started getting cool here yet I still love to make Chilis, stews and soups. Yesterday I made a big batch of Chili Mac, nice and spicy! I can't wait for the cooler weather.
 
I seem to do a lot more Italian cooking in the fall. All of a sudden bolognese, lasagna, risotto, polenta & oso buco just seem right. It's funny I've noticed over the years I tend to go through different ethnic foods with the seasons. Fall and winter are for Italian and French. Lots of carbs, roasts and long braises. After the new year I usually go on a serious Thai and Chinese kick. Lots of stir fried veggies and fish. Then I go into spring which first comes as Indian then Mexican after that I do a lot of Greek and other Mediterranean foods.
 
I have never made risotto. I was watching 'Dancing with the Stars" and a dancer on the show was a cook & he made his dance partner some risotto, it looked so good! He made it look so easy, but I was thinking it was a hard dish to make.

It sounds like your a seasonal cook, that's good! Cookie :)
 
I don't know. everyone says they think it's hard honestly I never had any problem with it. Like most things that have few ingredients it's just about following the right technique. But then I'm a little strange I guess. The first dish I ever made was fillet of sole with dill burre blanc sauce. It turned out so well I used to make it once a week after that. It wasn't until many years later I learned that was supposed to be a hard thing to make.
 
Some of the easiest things are the hardest sometimes. It's when you make it Look easy You must be good or doing something right! Cookie :)
 
Cool weather I think chili or stew. I devoted several winters tring to find the best chili recipe I could make. I make 2 or 3 gallons at the time.
