Cooking for the weather

RevGal is going to have to get serious about eating better again. It looks like I'm going to need to put myself back on the WW online plan or this could be a bad fall/winter season. It's the birthday cake--that's what always starts it. Then it's downhill from there for the rest of the cool/cold weather.
I've realized that my sweet-tooth is out of control. I crave sugar all the time. So I'm going to try and cut down on that a great deal as well.
So cooking is going to have to change a bit as well. I always like to cook with seasonal ingredients and we all know that when the weather starts to cool off we like to make more comfort/hearty foods.
I made a yummy dish last night out of the most recent Everyday Food mag.--the chicken spinach casserole. Ok, the half and half was what made it so good. Next time, I'll try it w/ff h&h and see if it's still as good. (I had to make my own h&h this time as I had none on hand.) But it was quick and easy. I added extra spinach. I liked it all, but I think the kids' favorite part was the bread cubes on top that got all nice and toasty in the over. Bonus: I made them with homemade bread that I had made on Saturday.
