As the snow gently falls outside it makes me crave those special foods that my Mom made when I was a kid. It was always after an afternoon of snow fort building, sledding, and a little cross-country skiing that I would run into the house starved for supper. I knew the moment I opened the door and caught the smell of baked beans in the oven that I couldn’t wait one more minute to dine with my family.
It is this simple recipe that I now make for my kids! We enjoy it when the air is cold, the snow has fallen, and take comfort in its warmth. It is the warmth my Mother once filled me with after time spent playing in a winter wonderland.
What is your favorite family recipe on a cold winter’s day?
Looks a lot like my Dad;s version
It’s such a simple recipe that I think it is something that we have all made at one time or another. Every now and then I chop up hot dog to put in it. It’s delicious!
We always love to gather as a family and do Fondue (Chinese style) and in-door BBQ (Korean style.)
Your mom’s recipe looks good!
It’s a very simple inexpensive treat on a cold winters day. Can I visit for Korean BBQ? I bet that is delicious!
I love cabbage rolls. Or macaroni and a sauce that my mom makes. I would try to make the sauce, but tastes gross!!!
Cabbage rolls are such a treat! We have a favorite vendor at the farmer’s market that we always buy them from to enjoy. I know mine would never taste that good
Pot roast! with carrots, celery, onion and potato. I always can tell when our “winter” has arrived, because I start getting a craving for it. Done the right way, slow, it’s wonderful. Besides, there always are lots of leftovers!
I think you just planned my meal for Sunday!

Easier than cooking a risotto and sounds quite tasty.
It’s a very simple recipe! And much easier than cooking risotto!
Belle, I have been dying to eat baked beans for years now! Unfortunately, I can’t get the delicious ones they sell in a can (I’m a fan of pork and beans!). I saw your recipe and said, finally! However, can I substitute the molasses for anything else? You can’t get molasses here either! Help!
I have friends that have tried the Pioneer Woman’s recipe http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/08/the-best-baked-beans-ever/
It is suppose to be delicious!
