I don’t know about where you live, but it’s getting chilly here.

And when that happens, I like to eat warm meals that fix the situation from the inside out.

Beef Wellington always comes to mind.

It’s hearty. It’s beefy and flaky. And it’s so, so good.

My fave is a Bake and Serve version that I can pop in the oven and then just enjoy. There’s not a lot of preparation on my part, just heat . . . and serve.

That’s the way I like it.

This one’s a luscious filet mignon with mushroom duxelles wrapped in a flaky crust. Magnificent.

My family loves it and I don’t have to expend a lot of energy on my part. Awesome. I need to save that energy for keeping warm!

This time of year always gets me wondering, What do people who don’t love turkey or ham eat at Thanksgiving? 

I mean, is it a law you have to have a turkey? What if turkey makes you cringe?

There are people out there like that, you know. You may be related to some of them.

So what do you do?

Well, I think I’ve found the answer.

Steak Over Butternut Squash Puree.

It’s seasonal. It’s gorgeous. And it’s steak, for goodness sake. You can’t go wrong.

It’s starting to get cold here. And when that happens, I always want hearty meals that keep me warm – and take my mind off the fact that it’s freezing outside!

Beef Stroganoff is one of my favorite cold weather meals. Yummy beef with beautiful noodles in a tasty sauce is so, so satisfying.
