It’s that time of year. Autumn. Time to change out from lighter, cooler to food to cool weather food.
Last night I put on my first pot of chili of the season. Yum. The house smelled so great.
As the weather turns cold, I crave different comfort foods. (SuperGuy swears he doesn’t understand the whole comfort food thing, but I know he’s stressed when he heads for certain foods. So there’s the truth. Just don’t tell him I have him figured out!) Anyway, when the weather turns cold I want chili. Pot roast. Apple Pie. Fresh homemade bread. Homemade noodles. Chocolate. (okay, I want chocolate all year long, but I just thought I’d throw that in there.)
So what are you cool weather/cold weather comfort foods? Or what is your all year long comfort food? Confess to us all.

Want some delicious and easy dinner rolls? Let me share another one of my secrets with you!
I know, yummy looking, right?
Rhodes multi-grain dinner rolls. They come in the frozen section. Perfect for large families (24 rolls) or empty nesters (you know who you are…) I just pull out a handful of them for SuperGuy and I. You let them rise for 4-5 hours (I take them out at lunch time and throw in a pan). Bake for about 10 or so minutes at 350. They are SO good! I love things I can make that are just the right portion for SuperGuy and I. Though, I admit, I usually bake a few extras to have as sandwich rolls the next day.
Which is what I did the other night. Then SuperGuy wanted to have these for sandwiches last night. I stopped him! I told him “You can’t eat those! I want to take photos of them for a blog post and I haven’t yet.” I guess it’s a funny commentary on our lives that he didn’t blink an eye, he just went and got out a loaf of bread for his sandwich. :rofl:
Had to get these photos today, so he can have the rolls for his sandwich today. Not sure how many days he’d be so understanding…

Oh, I forgot to tell you about this!
So “we” decided to try something new. Grilled peppers. Of course it started with a trip to Williams Sonoma to get this special pepper holder griller thingie. SuperGuy likes going to Williams Sonoma almost as much as the toy store hardware store.
They (SuperGuy and Texas Boys) wanted to get the super duper secret double probation pepper corer. But, alack and alas, they were out of that little gadget.
Looks, yummy right? Stuffed with cream cheese, shredded cheese and I don’t know what else. Grilled right there on our Weber grill.
Have a wonderful and relaxed weekend. I usually like to give you a hint about what Monday’s post is going to be about…but… I. Have. Not. A. Clue.
