Brrr it's turned cold!
What's the weather been like where you live? Many of us in the UK are feeling the cold! It's been snowing in many areas ... great fun for the young and the young at heart 😊 but if you are out driving or just walking care should be taken. Both the images I've used are from a few years ago, they always make me smile.
I'm also smiling at the thought of a warming vegetable stew. Stews are not all about meat! With this versatile vegetable stew; you can add any veg you like. Just add root veg and squash at the beginning, green veg towards the end and frozen peas or sweetcorn at the last minute. Adding baked beans adds a little sweetness, plus fibre and protein.

Your jolly snowman would make a delightful card!
ReplyDeleteI just bought a soup maker so will be putting it to good use starting tomorrow. Meanwhile, I am wrapped up in a knee length, sherpa lined hoodie!
Bracing for Bert who I'm sure is gathering momentum already, by the noise in the chimney.
Stay indoors if you can and keep warm! Debbie
Lovely stew! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteVegetables are so easy to adapt to different things. This does look warming for a cold night. No snow here, but I keep hoping. Stay cozy, Jan.
ReplyDeleteIt's gotten cold here too and today it snowed. That stew looks perfect for this weather!
ReplyDeleteLook like an happy snow person.
ReplyDeleteWe got our first snow during the night and today...not a lot but it is definitely colder. And Copper loves it.
ReplyDeleteIt's COLD over here too..we got some snow yesterday...
ReplyDeleteStay warm and safe. I know you will be well fed.
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be hot here this weekend. Too hot for me.
That dish is so hearty
ReplyDeleteFriday early and still dark here and turned cold yesterday and will be colder today. There may be frost overnight. We live in the South, so no snow where we live. That is a rare occurrence. We don't even drive in the rain, so home a lot for us. Pretty horse and happy snowman!
ReplyDeleteNice photos, Jan. Weather here today was 26.5 deg C today, 29 deg C tomorrow is forecast and it's 19 deg C now at 9.33pm my time..
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteLove the horse photo! The stew is perfect for a cold snowy day.
Take care, Happy Friday! Have a great weekend.
It's the last cold day here as tomorrow the temperature will rise substantially, so we're told. Adding baked beans to a vegetable stew sounds a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here, too. Had a dusting of snow night before last, hail showers yesterday, some sleet today and now some rain and snow mix. Tonight it's going to warm up and Storm Bert is going to blow in bringing rain and high winds. That stew looks like the perfect thing for this kind of weather!
ReplyDeleteWe have no snow yet, but last evening I made our first chicken stew of the season. It’s delicious, hearty and there’s enough for tonight too.
ReplyDeleteHello Jan,
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures. It is very cold at this moment. I have had worked in the night this week, but it has frozen and hail on my head.
But the food you have made makes me warm..hihi..!! That looks so well.
Thanks for your congratulations.
Many greetings,
Marco
So cold up here but no snow yet! Can't beat a good stew! Lovely horse :-D
ReplyDeleteOh Jan. I love the photos! Looks like it's a bit cold there...I think I'm ready for the colder temps!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend sweet friend!
hugs
Donna
I heard parts of the UK and Europe had snow. We've been fairly mild. Stay warm, and enjoy that yummy looking stew.
ReplyDelete...the stew looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteI like your stew recipe! I had delicious one in Dublin. It was made with lamb and veggies.
ReplyDeleteWeather is also cold here on the 42nd parallel North.
Good morning we have turned cold here-brrrr the strong winds have finally blown off and away from us. we have been totally spoiled with not normal warm weather for most of this month. Happy weekend Kathy
ReplyDeleteIt's getting chilly, but not cold enough to snow. I made a beef stew last night.
ReplyDeleteStay warm. After a warm first half of November, things have turned cold here and this morning I woke to a dusting of snow. But with freezing temperatures and strong winds, no one wants to stay outside very long.
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here with a little snow.
ReplyDeleteYour post is a lovely mix of winter coziness and practical advice! The vegetable stew sounds delicious and so adaptable—perfect for warming up on these chilly days. Thank you for sharing such thoughtful tips and reminders for staying safe and healthy.

ReplyDelete22 degrees, snowing and it is windy. A good day to stay inside!
ReplyDeleteA lovely stew sounds delicious in this weather. Thank you, Jan.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Me gusta la imagen del caballo. Gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteIt has turned very cold here, near freezing at night and today we only made it to 48 F we luckily missed the snow others north of us received, I am thankful because I am not ready for snow, although your pictures are very cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely snowy pictures Jan. I have been keeping an eye on your snow news. Looks like it is all over the UK? I love the snow but driving in it, I remember those days. It can be very dicey. Stay warm and safe over there. Thanks for the yummy recipe. All the best :)

I don't think we're as cold as you. Yet! I loved the horse photo. And yes, definitely soup and stew season!
ReplyDeleteMe gusta ese guiso de verdura. El tiempo por aquà todavÃa está bastante cálido para estas fechas. Aunque yo estoy feliz. Besos.
