Comfort Food and Follow Friday
While we have only had about an inch of snow so far this winter, we are in the middle of a cold snap here in the Northeast, with “freezing” being the high temperature of the day. Weather like this calls for hearty, hot dishes – like my family’s Beef Stew recipe. I’ve tried beef stew from a number of restaurants and recipes, and none can compare to this one (printable!).
What is your favorite thing to eat when you need a little comfort cookin’?
Here are some hot and hearty (though admittedly not the healthiest – but a little comfort food once in a while really is a necessity, no?) recipes offered up by my favorite magazine, Real Simple:

This week’s “Follow Friday” favorites:
- Kate at The Small Things Blog wrote about different types of eyeliners, their pros and cons, and how to use them. I never even heard of gel liner!
- Caitlin (my BFF!) wrote about the Gender Reveal party that I unfortunately didn’t make it to, but I loved seeing how excited her family was when they found out it’s a BOY!
- The Birchbox Blog is running a series of blog posts sponsored by LearnVest – and this one seems like a really good idea: Observe the 50/20/30 Rule When You Budget
Have a great weekend!

Ham soup!
I saved off the recipe for Chicken & Spinach noodles. Looks good for leftover chicken and using spinach before it wilts. Nice warm casserole on these cold days!
