In the winter, the light food that I eat just won't cut it. I need something that sticks to the ribs a bit, particularly this winter, but I'm having problems finding stuff that isn't too high in calories. Anyone have any ideas?

Carrots would be best for you.
Carrots are not having any calory in them.
try and enjoi

Carrots are good, but not to much (<500g) of them. To much Vitamin A can make problems.
I prefer carrot salad with a bit vegetable oil and a half lemon.

I make a pot roast that works really well because you can buy a very low fat cut of beef, like eye of round, and it still comes out tender. You can use either a crock pot or a deep turkey roaster. Sear the roast first and then add it to the pot with beef broth, onions, salt and pepper and root vegetables. It takes about 3 to 4 hours in a crock pot and about 2 hours in the oven.

I also make a baked zucchini that's very easy and very filling. You slice the zucchini lengthwise in 1/4 inch strips and layer it with basil and tomato sauce and top with a low fat parmesan cheese. You could probably use eggplant instead of zucchini depending on what you have available in your area this time of year.

As the days get shorter and the cold nights get longer, we are constantly on the look out for ways to warm our bodies and comfort our souls. A solution can often be found in winter food ideas that utilize the many healthy fruits and vegetables that are at their prime during the winter season. Fall/winter food ideas constitute recipes that incorporate seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as those that fortify the body against illnesses.
