I was never a fan of chicken or turkey salad, either, until I tried this recipe: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/apricot-nut-turkey-salad-sandwiches-10000000222159/ and it made me a convert. I suggest giving it a try. And, now because of my recent conversion, I can’t wait to Sierra’s/your recipe.

My absolute favorite recipe is actually a drink! And it’s super easy to do, I feel guilty accepting complements for it at parties. It’s a simple Spiced Apple Cider. You take a bottle of organic apple juice (or cider) and add a few packets of Martinelli’s Apple Cider tea bags. Put them all in a sauce pan over medium heat and let it stew! Put a ladle nearby and people can help themselves. Of course you can add a few cinnamon sticks for flavor and decoration. The reason I like this so much is that it’s simple and a great base to build up from!

One of my favorite wintery meals to make is called “Cowboy Spaghetti” (I think it’s a Rachael Ray recipe). It’s a quick-to-make meaty spaghetti sauce that has extra goodies in it like bacon and Worcestershire sauce. We serve it over spaghetti with shredded cheddar on top, kind of like 3-way Cincinnati chili.
Ate a recipe like your turkey salad growing up – we called it turkey Waldorf, and it contained chopped turkey, celery, apples and walnuts, with a mayo and sour cream dressing. Great in pita pockets!

I’m so glad you thanked Capt. Obvious on this too, because I am pretty sure I cannot take credit for all of Turkey Salad. But the funny thing is, when I made this for you over the holiday, I’m sure I heard you kind of “eh, meh, ick” the idea of turkey salad, but I made it anyway! I don’t know if that makes me a bully or a genius, but there you have it.

Turkey salad is an amazing “user of weird ingredients,” got a mango, or avocado that’s about to be not good Go for it. Want to try to use up those last two baby carrots Chop them very small and see what happens. I would imagine most dried fruits and nuts would be great, as long as they’re not dripping in sugar. Another twist that’s great on lettuce leaves: adding curry powder and pepper (to taste), it gets better as it sits, so by lunchtime it’s amazing.

If you have already been lucky enough to receive a hot chocolate stick are you still eligible Recently my favorite winter food is chicken noodle soup with lots of veggies. I know your feelings on the chilcken in chicken noodle soup, but the beauty of making it yourself is you get to control the quality of the meat that goes in.

Hmm… For winter favorite I would have to go with homemade chili. When I was little we would go out to a cabin each winter near home and spend the whole weekend out hiking in the snow. One of the best parts was we would always make a big pot of chili to warm up when we got back. My mom’s recipe is one of the nice thick ones that becomes richer the longer it cooks and just enough chili power for a good kick. Yum!

The month of January has always made me want baked potato soup. It was my favorite meal growing up and there were many years that I would request it for my birthday dinner. Now that I am all grown up I typically make it a few times a year. Mostly to fulfill my potato soup craving but also to remind me of my childhood where my brother and I would fight over the last bowl (now Mark and I fight over the leftovers for lunch the next day). It takes a little bit of prep due to having to bake the potatoes and about a half hour to put together but the end result is well worth it.

Cold weather makes me want something that sticks to my insides. One of my favorites is mushroom risotto. The process itself will keep you warm as you stand by the stove for an hour and the results will coat your belly in oozy goodness.
