Good morning and Welcome to Cast Iron Saturdays
Since many of my readers are still "enjoying" winter days haha I am sharing more wintry foods this week.
Lodge cast iron sent me an email with a few yummy looking recipes this week, so will start with those.
Chickpea Soup with Turmeric and Ginger I think this recipe looks and sounds delicious and it is vegetarian and gluten free too
Creamy Mushroom Soup to make gluten free use a gf thickener of your choice instead of the flour, for vegetarian use a vegetable stock instead of the chicken and if you don't eat dairy can change up the cream to your choice
Brisket Chili this is a different "take" on chili and sounds delicious no beans
also from Lodge that I found on Pinterest-Tennessee White Chili this is chicken based-simple but looks and sounds really good for something different
Dutch Oven Beef Stew this includes a really nice tutorial
Old Fashioned Southern Corn Sticks if you have a cast iron corn stick pan-these are so fun to make and go great with soups and stews This link is full of information and for gluten free just substitute a gluten free flour blend I found it worth the read too
and one more recipe that sounded interesting and a little different-Lentil Stew with Potatoes and Kale This recipe also has butternut squash and the recipe looks vegetarian She does use canned lentil soup-but I would make my own lentil soup and then make this recipe with the left over soup.
I am sharing this link especially for our Elizabeth 26 Vegetarian Dinners to make in your Cast Iron skillet (of course you can make these in a different lighter pan) and these look really delicious too.
Hoping winter gets easier for all of us soon. We have gotten more ice and snow here, and very very cold temperatures with it. A warm up begins tomorrow so hopefully I can grab my shovel and clear a path up the hill to the mailbox "again"
Stay safe and warm everyone, winter is a perfect time for comfort foods made in your cast iron skillets, Dutch ovens, etc.
