It's funny how the weather makes you crave certain foods. In the summer, we wear less clothes, and want food to match - light salads, fresh produce, something simple quickly grilled on the barbecue. In the winter, we bundle up, and eat foods that match this heaviness - starchy potatoes or pastas, hot, hearty soups, or foods that roast or simmer for hours.
After staying close to home all weekend hunkering down, Stein and I craved winter foods. We pulled out a roast we had in the freezer, and Stein made this recipe last night:

We had some twice-baked potatoes with it. Oh, and a salad to lessen the guilt of the heavy foods. Today we had the leftovers and they were just as good. The sauce pulls it all together, and tastes pretty good with potatoes too.
