Is anyone else struggling with superfree in this weather?

[alwyn]

I am, I just don't want to snack on fruit and veg when it's cold and I just want comfort food!

It's not a request for support or ideas, just wondering if anyone else feels the same!

Me too , so I make soups & veg shepherd pie etc , I've no interest in crunching on celery or salad ATM , I want stodgy food !
My scan bran carrot cake does that for me too !!

Ooh yeah, I'd forgotten about soups! And I suppose there are stews and things, just stuff seems to be more effort when it's cold and I want food NOW!

I make a batch of soup and put in the freezer. Take one out and put in microwave when I fancy.
Also make a lot of stews in slow cooker and keep in fridge or freezer so handy when I want warm food, by the time it is warmed up in microwave my veg is ready. Makes a hearty meal.

I've had a pineapple sat in the kitchen for a week now- can't even bring myself to cut it, never mind eat it!!

I've got a load of veg soup in the freezer so I've been warming them up when I need to. Also- steam fresh bags have been this saviour this week.

Just had a massive veg curry & Bombay potatoes !! Lovely !

I find that roasted vegetables are great comfort food. And navel oranges are at their best at this time of year. Just had one, and might have another in a minute!

Not really, Im not eating cold veg but Im eating tons of soup/stew/casserole leftovers. I even had a 500g bag of Brussels sprouts (cooked and smothered in brown sauce) as a snack t'other day Only teks 8 min to steam 'em :8855:

Snacking on loads of peaches, nectarines, pears, they're quite filling as fruit goes and never really seem cold.

I do know what you mean, I'm not loving eating my fruit but am having plenty of veg in soups and casseroles.

 

[Halleous]

[Bunnylush]

Not at all, frozen sprouts tonight,tip in pan done! Lol, I make BNS pepper soup on Sunday for lunches all week

 

[Bunnylush]

Bubble n squeak is comfort food!

 

[Rosielea]

Bunnylush that made me laugh. Great demonstration of how to eat veg. I was going to roasted veg but realised I had left a curry to defrost. So had it with boiled rice, plenty of salad, sprouts and carrots. Will have the veg for tea tonight. Enjoy your Sunday.
