I am looking for some heart warming dinner recipes for winter and I am just beginning to cook any suggestions?

My children say it is my Potato Soup that I make for them when they don't feel well…and they are all grown and still want Momma to make it for them…

Now if you are talking seasonal 'comfort' food then here are some suggestions:
Stews
Chowders

Chili
Red beans and Rice
Pot Roast with roasted potatoes and carrots
Chicken and dumplings
Chicken and dressing

good source of comfort food recipes book or website…?

I would like to know if anyone has seen a good source of comfort food recipes?
recipe sites i already have looked at are
recipezaar,
allrecipes,
copykat,
topsecretrecipes,
foodnetwork,
homeandgarden,
yahoo,
grouprecipes, and
recipegoldmine.

Foods that I do not care for are – beef livers, cooked/canned/frozen spinach, mustard and pickles… I can use stovetop, crockpot, oven, rotissiere and grill.
(PS – i personally enjoy mustard and pickles, hubby does not. beef liver and cooked spinach generally do not even make it into my basket when shopping.)
Let me add that healthy is of importance too. I love to watch Paula Deen and have even ventured to make her recipes – albeit the fattening ones – and her love of butter is honestly shared by my family — however, healthy is needed as well. TIA

Ina Garten's Cookbook "Barefoot Contessa Family Style" is full of great comfort foods.

What are your favorite recipes for comfort food when the weather turns cooler?

I love a good minestrone soup. Basically, take a large pot, and put able 3 tablespoons of olive oil on the bottom. Toss in diced celery, carrots, garlic and onions. Cook until soft, and cover with water. Then you can basically throw in any veggie possible. Put in the veggies that take longer to cook in first, like potatoes. I like adding kidney beans or white beans, corn, kale or swiss chard, cabbage, and tomatoes. Use about two tablespoons full of tomato paste. Italian sausage goes really well (toss in with the diced veggies). Serve over a toasted piece of crusty Italian bread.
I also like a baked macaroni and cheese casserole. Cook about a pound of elbow pasta. Make a simple roux with a tablespoon of flour, melted butter, and a half cup of half and half. Melt a two ounces each of cheddar cheese, guyere, and monterey jack into the roux. pour over the pasta in a casserole. Add bread crumbs onto the top and bake in 300 F oven for about thirty minutes.

I have a stressful job and sometimes I just want to make something quick, easy and calming to make for dinner for me and my husband when I get home.
I'm kind of a picky eater and I'm not a gourmet chef so the less exotic and more simple it is, the better.
Thanks!!

Best of all, Hormel, Armour, Tyson and other brands have packages of PRE-COOKED beef tips, roast, pot roast, pork roast, chicken, ham, meatload. Most all come with gravy. They are very good and I serve them often. Use this for your meat dish and add vegetables, rice, or potatoes and gravy. You will find these packages near the meat section, they are not frozen. If you are only cooking for yourself, you can make two or more meals out of one package and freeze them for future dinners or lunches.

Tyson's fully cooked whole chickens are delicious. I serve them often with S&W canned sweet potatoes, Stove-Top dressing, microwave chicken/turkey gravy, a vegetable, cranberry sauce, and Pillsbury Microwave Biscuits which are better than I can make. A frozen pie defrosted and fully cooked. Perfect for one or two people at Thanksgiving or Christmas.
