MINI COOKBOOK OF SCRUMPTIOUS WINTER RECIPES
THE SNOW IS COMING!!!!! It’s forecasted that we could get 2 feet of the wonderful, white fluffy stuff. I love love love snow! I thought I was prepared for the blizzard but some of my family are coming to StoneGable to “hunker down” (a Lancaster colloquialism) and wait out the storm! I love that we have the fun, go-to house! So I’ll be cooking and enjoying lots of company for a few days. And I couldn’t be happier! I pulled out my blog recipes to decide what warm and cozy recipes to make and thought you might like a some of them too, no matter what the winter weather in your area! Here’s a mini cookbook of my favorite winter recipes!
These recipes are hearty and filling and warm. Perfect for a cold winter day! Let’s start with dessert!
APPLE CRISP
We have a bunch of apples in the frig and they will be delicious in a warm apple crisp! YUM! Of course we will dig out a hole in each crisp and add a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
BONE BROTH
I’m pulling out the slow cooker and letting this delicious broth cook all day and night. This is the most scrumptious, good-for-you broth! My family are big soup eater!
CHEATER’S CHICKEN POT PIE
I’m grabbing a rotisserie chicken or two to make this family friendly dish tomorrow. It’s quick to make and tastes like I’ve been slaving over the stove all day!
ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND SWISS CHARD INDIVIDUAL LASAGNA
Put a little extra zip in your lasagna using italian sausage and swiss chard. If you can’t find swiss chard use spinach! Make a big pan or individual one’s as shown here. Great any time of year!
NANI’S SAUTÉED CHICKEN
This scrumptious chicken is a staple at StoneGable and it’s on the menu tonight! My grandmother, Nani, made it and her mother too! Everyone in our snowy home will be so excited!
PEACH DUMPLINGS
We eat peach and apple dumplings for breakfast. I call it “legal morning pie”. It’s full of fruity goodness and we serve it in a bowl of milk. It’s another Lancaster County thing! If peaches are not in season use peeled apples. This is so so good and your home will smell heavenly!
PERFECT POT ROAST
This recipe is a must-try no matter the weather. It’s easy to make and complex in flavor. It smells amazing and this recipe says love to me!
EASY PUFF PASTRY HAM CHEESE AND BROCCOLI HAND PIES
These little pies go quick! I make them ahead and they are ready for whenever any family member gets hungry! When we have lots of family here,Bobby usually makes breakfast and I make dinner. Everyone is on their own for lunch… but I’ll have these hand pies ready along with a slow cooker of soup!

PUMPKIN SPICE BAKED OATMEAL
I’ll be making this for an easy morning breakfast (Bobby makes the sausage and fruit). This is stick-to-your-ribs-good and it makes a big pan full! Seconds, anyone?
VALENTINE HAND PIES
Aren’t these adorable? I know!!! And they taste better than they look. YUM! A perfect way to show someone that you love them on a cold winter’s day!
Most of the east coast has or is getting some kind of bad weather this weekend. And the middle of the country has been hit hard too! I pray that you are safe, with those you love and have lots of great,cozy, winter food!
Lots of warm love coming your way!

YUM!!! It all sounds so scrumptious, I’m baking banana bread and watching the snow fall. I hope I have electricity to cook some of these wonderful dishes. Hope you enjoy your weekend and be safe. 🙂
You too Samantha!
Thanks for the recipes! I can’t decide which to try first! Sweet or savory??!? Thinking of you and your family and the snow! Stay safe!
Just putting together a meal plan… your recipes were so helpful ! I cannot wait to try some of them!
Enjoy the Snow!
From Snowy Quebec, Canada!!
Well of course the family would come to your house…look at that food:D I looks scrumptious! If I lived down the street I’d be there too! LOL! I’ll be there in spirit for sure:) Thanks for sharing your recipes, Yvonne! Enjoy your weekend with the family!
If I had neighbors I’d have a blizzard party!
HOW FUN TO BE THE “GO TO” HOUSE. SOUNDS LIKE A SNOWY VERSION OF A HURRICANE PARTY. STAY WARM AND WELL AND PARTY ON. PRAYING FOR EVERYONE IN THE BLIZZARD’S PATH.
Thanks Kayden!
Where do I find the recipes for all these?
Just click on the titles of each recipe that is bold and it will link you to the recipe.
Thanks for the recipes. I have saved several from you and they are all favorites in our family. We got about six inches of snow where we live in Tennessee. That is a lot for us .The most we’ve had in years. So pretty. Nice to have all your family around . Enjoy!
I always enjoy your recipes. They are so farm to table. They remind me of home. Sheer comfort. Thanks, Yvonne. Make new family memories this weekend. Stay warm and cozy!

Thanks, Yvonne, for the yummy looking recipes; they seem easy too with no hard-to-find ingredients! . No snow here (yet!) in southern Ontario. I wonder what Saturday or, perhaps, Sunday will bring. Since you like that fluffy white stuff, I’ll let you keep it down your way. Keep warm!
Yum and another yum. Oh these dishes look so good and hearty. I had to call my husband to ‘come and see’ the dishes. Thank you Yvonne for sharing and I love the home style cooking and baking. What a privelege to enjoy such wonderful dishes. We get snow in S.Africa once evey 10 years or so, yet, when the cold winds blow over the snow capped Drakenberg mountains in July, it is a freezing cold wind that cuts to the bone. We usually have 2 – 5 days of that weather, not fit for any animal to be outside. Our dogs stayed inside come rain or shine. Enjoy the snow, it changes the look of the gardens completely, I took photos as so many other people did and we agree a totally unrecogniseable picture. We could not believe the change in scenery. Keep warm, be blessed.
What great recipes. Thanks for sharing. stay warm.
Oh, to be able to sit and watch the activity in your busy, warm kitchen. Thank you for these delicious looking recipes.
