found summer sausage on this site, great idea. I am low carb so hot cabbage has been great, any other ideas appreciated. The snow is a trigger for me but so far doing low carb i am not so hungry so need some food ideas, snacks, hot foods, etc.

    I've been eating BBG beef (not on a bun) from my slow cooker for a few days. Yummy and warm. ;)

    I’ve been thinking of clams in cream sauce like New England clam chowder but without potatoes.

    Quiche! Quiche filling (I use heavy cream, plenty of cheese, and spinach cooked in butter along with the eggs) on a nut crust: pecans or similar ground and mixed with grated cheese and melted butter until you can get it to stick to the baking dish. Bake the crust alone first until fragrant, then the whole thing for close to an hour, until it’s just a touch wobbly and only in the middle. I like to eat it with a side of arugula and a bowl of berries.

    Slow-cooked meats and stews are also really decadent and satisfying when it’s cold—anything falling off the bone in a nice, thick gravy. 🙂 A bun-less hamburger with a runny egg on top; Brussels sprouts with a little vinegar and a lot of bacon. Steam cauliflower in a splash of broth, mash it with a fork until it’s smooth, then add a can of coconut milk and some fiery seasoning.

    I’m kind of regretting having already eaten now!

    I make large batches of this jambalaya in a slow cooker. Pretty low in carbs without the rice. I eat it plain sometimes - sometimes over some cabbage or coleslaw if more volume is desired.

    It freezes and reheats well so makes a great lunch when I'm working away from home.

    I just made a big batch of low carb chili. It’s awesome for warming you up on a cold day.

    Szekeley Gulyas is delicious. I like it over mashed cauliflower with a quick pickled red cabbage instead of sauerkraut to offset all the pork shoulder, cream, butter, and sour cream.

    Thai curries can be a good choice if you pay attention to the fat content of the coconut milk. Buy the good high fat stuff, it tastes better anyway. If you don't know much about the sauces, check some packet seasoning pastes out, Asian Home Gourmet is usually pretty good and tastes like the real thing, not like some 'dumb downed' others. BTW, the green AHG Curry is quite hot spicy, red may be more to your taste if you are used to Mexican or Szechuan heat levels. Works great over Caulirice or just as a meaty (& veggie?) stew. Of course if you can wait, it's always tastier the next day.
