Answer 3

Rainy Day Foods seem to beg for relaxation. You don't want to do any heavy cooking, or heavy thinking for that matter. Just sit back and watch TV while listening to the patter of rain on your roof. That picture brings to mind KFC. Yep, get a bucket of chicken and sit it out. If the rain makes the lights go out, you have your mashed potatoes to live off of.
Rainy days can be a family magnet. No one wants to go out in the rain so they'll probably stay in and chat. A bucket of something simple is fun.

Answer 4

Crock pot Pot Roast (what I'm making tonight)

1 can french onion beef broth
2 potatoes cut in large chunks
5 carrots cut to your preference (not too small or they'll be mushy)
1 onion, quartered
3-4 pound beef roast (whatever cut you prefer)
3/4 c. red wine (not cooking wine, only cook with a wine you would drink. Today I used Fish Eye Cabrenet)
2 Tb. Butter

Season the roast with Essence of Emeril (you can purchase or make your own, recipe follows). Braise in a bit of olive oil or veg. oil. Place diced potatoes at bottom of pot, put meat on top. Top with carrots. Put in onion, butter, add liquid, cover and cook on low 6-8 hours.

Optional: Add 10 oz. sliced mushrooms 2-3 hours before meat is done.
Serve over rice.
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Answer 8

Chili-either traditional hamburger chili or chicken white bean. My secret ingredient is beer. It gives it a great taste-just put it in early and let it cook a very long time over low. I put frank's red hot in too....with the chicken I top with sour cream, cheese and taco chips. Crackers for beef. Good luck!

Answer 9

I love a nice thick hearty soup during the rainy season. And maybe homemade garlic mashed potatoes or stuffing.

Answer 10

Split pea soup and jasmine tea.

Make the soup in a slow cooker, with fresh carrots, bay leaf, chicken stock and a little cayenne pepper. You can take the cooked peas and run them through the blender and then put them back in the pot for the smoothest version.
