Did you make a classic beef stew this summer? I didn’t. I grilled burgers, tossed together chilled grain salads with whatever vegetables were around, waited for my tomatoes to ripen so I could make BLTs, and ordered more than a few pizzas when it was too hot to cook.
Now that summer’s long gone, it’s officially comfort food season. I’m ready to pull my Dutch oven out of hiding and fill the kitchen with something slow-simmered and cozy. The only downside is the sun’s setting at 5 p.m. or even earlier, but at least these dinners make the darkness feel worth it.
