What do kind of food do you make when you are snowed in?

Hi, we have a fireplace so if the power goes out, we'll have to cook over the fire and this means hot dogs and marshmallows. But if we have power, then its soups, stews, anything comforting. Best way to eat it is sitting in front of the window looking out. Makes me feel good, but we dont have any huge storms here anymore where we're snowed in and cant go out at all. Canada is used to snow, so schools arent even closed anymore for the most part. Its too bad, its fun to be snowed in sometimes. Glad you had some comfort foods and could try some new dishes. Sounds like you're in the right spirit there.

hi enjoy the snow with snow food here (india),their is no snow no hot that is average temperature everyday. thanking you have a nice day

I haven't been snowed in for many years, but when I have been, I like to make things that both warm the house and me. I make a really good veggie soup, a bit labor intensive at the beginning, but makes a lot in the end. The former roomie and I made potato soup too. Once we roasted a whole chicken, made the kitchen nice and warm and fed us nicely in the end. mostly I just hide out from the cold weather, on the computer or in bed...

Living down in the south east, we do not have to worry about the snow. But on cold rainy weekends, I want chili, or homemade hot soups. Something that just makes you feel warm all over, and is easy to eat curled up on the couch under a blanket.

On days like that I like to cook chili for the family. It keeps us nice and warm and just seems like a good snow day food...

Woa,When we met the big snowstorm two years ago,I remember that everything just got stopped.You know,the traffic,the supply of the food,etc,all got stucked.So we have no choice but eat some fast food like the fast noodles...

fortunately, the place that i am living does not have any snow... the coldest temperature we ever get here during winter is 0 degrees celcius and it is very rare... we get hail (tiny piece of ice block) every now and then but not snow... but during winter, my favourite meal will be hot soup as it will keep my body warm... take care and have a nice day...

We make whatever we have on hand. We went shopping on Thursday evening and picked up a few things to get us through the weekend so we'd have enough food to make it until we could actually get out again. I don't think we've ever made anything special when we've been snowed in. We just grab food from the fridge, the freezer or the pantry and throw it all together.

I keep a stock of those "TV dinner" packs, the ones one can just put in the microwave for three minutes, and that's it. Very easy and very convenient. There are a a variety of packs, turkey, beef, pork, etc. Not expensive either. I am not a good cook any way. So, I don't keep those groceries.

I am fond of water-based food which are more soupy because they would make me feel warm. With a pinch of spicy kick to them as well, so I can break into a sweat. :) My mother always makes this Vietnamese rice noodle soup called Pho which is tedious but once done, oh so good to eat. You start by boiling the beef or chicken broth which can take 2-5 hours and for the soup base it would include a little cinnamin, onions, herbs. You would then drain the noodle into steaming hot water for about 2-3 minutes then take it out into a bowl. Put on some beef, chicken, tripe and meatballs if your have any. Sprinkle it with scallions and pour in the broth. For taste you add Hoisin sauce and sritcha hot sauce. After one bowl, I'm ready for the news again. :)

If I weren't snowbound, I'd ask if I could come over to your house to help you eat those yummy-sounding foods! I like to make slow-cooked stews and soups. They warm the house up and make it smell really yummy in the process. This last snow, though, has me eating things that I can just heat up in the microwave because we have so much snow to shovel in order to be able to get out of here that I have no energy left to do any creating in the kitchen. I may do some creating later today, though. My husband said the wrong thing to me as I was outside shoveling around the car so he can get to work tomorrow so I stopped and came inside. He's on his own out there unless he apologizes and he never apologizes. So, once I recouperate some of my strength, I'll mosey on into the kitchen and see what I can cook up.

Well although the snow is rarely bad enough here in the UK to be classed as snowed in, or at least where I live, I still always end up cooking big hearty casseroles when the weather turns cold enough/ snowy to keep me inside. I also make sure I have enough bacon as I love to start a snowy day with a bacon sandwich, lol.

Being snowed in is the perfect time to clean out the refrigerator and cupboards. Pull out the biggest pot and make mystery soup. Put the basics in (onions, garlic and celery) and add any and all ingredients needing to be used up in the frige and cupboards. No 2 pots are ever the same, but it is always delicious.

WHEN I AM IN SNOWED then we make curd papar n enjoy with khichari i like so much front of this food all or think is bust.
