Answer 3

One of my winter standards is bacon-roasted squash - it's sweet and fatty and absolutely delicious. You can check out the recipe here: http://www.debonairmag.com/recipe_-_bacon_roasted_butternut_squash.htm

All you need is a butternut squash and some bacon - you just cut the squash in two, lay the bacon on and roast it in a 400 degree oven until it's tender. Sometimes it's a good idea to smear the bacon fat on any exposed pieces of the squash so it doesn't dry out - but the fat should just melt into the squash and make it taste smokey and richer than ever!

You can slice it up and use it in a green salad with some toasted walnuts or pecans, or what I usually do with the leftovers is throw it all into a pot with some vegetable stock and puree it into soup. Then, I crumble the cooked bacon in and crack lots of fresh pepper on top.

So easy to do, super cheap, and simple to adapt into lots of different recipes - this one is a winner for sure.

Answer 5

Chicken and Dumplings. This is the BEST recipe I've ever eaten!

1 whole boneless chicken
2 quarts water
3 tablespoons chicken bouillon, soup base (or six boullion cubes)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 cups self-rising flour

*Usea large pot with a heavy lid.
Place chicken, water, boullion, and pepper together in pot.
Cook, covered for 1 hour.
(After cooking, I let contents remain in covered pot for about an hour to cool).
As soon as chicken is done cooking, remove 1 cup of cooking liquid from pan and allow to cool so that it is about room temp.
In a bowl mix self-rising flour and the 1 cup cooled broth.
You may need to add a little more flour if mixture is too stickey.
On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness (I divide dough into 1/3's to roll out, it's easier to do smaller amount) Cut rolled dough into 1 inch strips, then cut strips into 3 inch pieces.
Remove chicken from pot.
Heat broth in pot to a boil.
Drop dumplings into boiling broth! Lower heat so they are just simmering. Cook for 20 minutes and DO NOT open lid to peak!!!
While dumplings are cooking, debone chicken into bite size pieces.
After dumplings have cooked for 20 minutes, add chicken back to pot. Simmer for 5-10 minutes
and serve.
