Top 5 Cozy Winter Recipes for the Long Weekend

Merry Christmas dear friends!  I hope that this finds you resting somewhere cozy and enjoying a little time off.  One of the things about a long weekend is…having more meals to fix.  For me it isn’t always fixing them but  figuring out what to make and having a plan.  I don’t know about you but planning meals every single day for my family is exhausting.  I realize that because I am a food blogger it would seem like this would be easy but honestly, it is one thing I would give away in a heartbeat.  That is why I thought instead of a new recipe today I would share a few cozy winter recipes that would be perfect for your long weekend and mine!

Each winter recipe is a family favorite and each one only requires a few ingredients which means it is easy.

I am always all about simplicity but especially so when it comes to times when I would like to slow down a bit.  So sit

back and take a look at some delicious cozy winter recipes and ideas for you and your family.

5 Cozy Winter Recipes for the Long Weekend

1. Easy Ham Breakfast Casserole

If you have leftover ham {and even if you don’t} this Easy Ham Breakfast Casserole is the perfect way to start your day.

Made with refrigerated crescent rolls, the ingredients are probably already in your pantry and fridge.

It is perfect for breakfast or brunch and everyone will chow it down.

2. A Winter Salad Your Whole Family Will Love

I had never really thought of a salad being a comfort food until THIS arugula salad.  With butternut squash, pomegranate seeds, farro and Parmesan cheese…this salad is full of amazing flavor.

Make it over your long weekend for lunch or dinner.  Add a little chicken {or leftover turkey} and it can be a meal all on it’s own.

I totally plan on cozying up with this baby.

3. Korean Pork Street Tacos

The crock pot is a great way to make a meal during a weekend when you want to lay low.  These pork tacos are my families all time favorite recipe and so I totally recommend it for yours.

Cooked in the crock pot all day and then topped with a few sides, these tacos are a super awesome spin an a typical taco.

The simple cabbage slaw takes them over the top and leftovers are just as good the next day.

4. Eggnog Coffee Cake

Coffee cakes always feel cozy but I especially love them because they can be breakfast or dessert.

This recipe is a fabulous way to use up any leftover eggnog you have in the refrigerator while baking something delicious for your sweeties.

Whether you serve it with a cup of coffee or a scoop of ice cream, this Eggnog Coffee Cake is amazing.

5. Texas Sheet Cake Cookies

You knew I couldn’t end without a cookie!  In my world a cozy weekend isn’t complete without baking a batch but I also don’t want to spend hours on them.

That is why these Texas Sheet Cake Cookies are so perfect!  With a cake mix cookie and homemade frosting, every single bite tastes just like what grandma would have made.

Now if that isn’t cozy I don’t know what is.

I hope these cozy winter recipes make the long weekend even more wonderful and I hope that your holidays are every bit as magical as you deserve.  Sweet Wishes!
