The second week of January is here… In fact, it’s almost over! And, I’m still waiting for some snow. I’m one of those crazy people who really enjoys snow in the winter. I could go for a foot or two right about now.
Instead, it’s just been kind of dreary and rainy here. All of the dreary weather has kind of sucked the kitchen inspiration right out of me. I’m doing my best, but it’s one of those weeks where I can certainly use a little help from my friends. (Do you have the Beatles in your head now? Yup, me too.)
I’m hoping to find some time and motivation to get into the kitchen this weekend… So, here are a few of the recipes I’ve bookmarked for some inspiration!
- Casseroles are perfect for chilly weather. And, dreary weather. I am loving the look of this Spinach, Cheddar, and Egg Casserole from Dana Treat. I think it can be breakfast, lunch, or dinner (just add a salad!)… And it couldn’t be simpler.
- My hubby is a fan of chocolate lava cakes. Every time we get dessert at a restaurant, he searches the menu for the chocolate lava cake. I think I’ll make these Hot Molten Lava Cakes from LoveFeast Table for him over the weekend.
- Bread pudding is one of my favorites this time of year… It’s so warm and comforting. I am just dying to try this Cranberry and Croissant Bread Pudding with Champagne Zabaglione Sauce from Creative Culinary. I love everything about it.
- If you’re planning a big game day party over the next few weeks, you don’t want to miss this Buffalo Chicken Mac ‘n Chese from TidyMom. Your football loving friends will love you.
Love your favorites & I am also wanting that snow. We ski next month so it better happen :)
Thanks for sharing! I’m headed over to check out that bread pudding!! (I’m a fan of any carb soaked in milk and sugar :)
Thanks for including me Jenn. And, well, Abbie says Hi too. :)
we finally got a little snow and bitter cold yesterday! (windchill was 1°)
Thanks for sharing all the great recipes Jen!!
I’m watching the snow outside my window right now and I’m not happy about it. It is pretty but snow in Seattle is a disaster, even if it is just an inch. Thanks for including me in this list Jen!
