Ok...so you're stuck inside in this crazy hurricane we're having. What to do? No...there's no way that I'm encouraging you to go out in this monstrosity, but if you are fully stocked (like my friend Kimberly - see her pantry in the above pic), you can certainly do some cooking.
Without further ado, I've put together a short list of Hurricane friendly foods that will last you for days and comfort you through this storm. Hope you enjoy them with your loved ones, and if you have any recipes you'd like to share with me, I'm all ears.
Cozy Lamb Apricot Stew - If you have lamb, chicken, beef or any other protein, this is the perfect thing to enjoy and just let cook for a couple of hours. It keeps well in the freezer and you can enjoy it on its own, with rice, potatoes or any other starch.
Dan's Turkey Meatloaf - Have ground turkey, chicken or beef on hand? This is a great way to use it, and make sure you incorporate tons of fresh veggies such as onions, peppers, garlic and whatever else you like. A smokey BBQ sauce is a nice accompaniment.
My Italian Gnocchi Bake - This dish is really easy and quick to make if you have some pre-made or frozen gnocchi in the house, a few different cheeses including ricotta and mozzarella and some marinara too. If you have pesto already made, that'll do as well.
Chilaquiles - Do you love brunch the Mexican way? An easy thing to put together is a mixture of fried tortillas, eggs, spicy salsa and your favorite veggies. There's two ways to do it - to keep the tortillas slightly crispy, like my fried Jess does, or to make 'em all the way soft; the choice is yours.
Minty Pea Soup - Even though this is technically a summer recipe, I think a nice warm soup would be great right about now. It keeps well in the freezer, and you can make it heartier by tearing big, chunky pieces of pumpernickel bread inside. Watch them soak up into the broth and just devour.
