  15. Gosh Kim that's a hard one. My comfort food depends on how I'm feeling. Like if I'm sick, I want McDonald's cheeseburger plain and extra, extra, extra, extra, extra well done with a large fry.
    If I'm pouty, I want Snack Nachos from Ciscos mexican restaurant. Has chips, ground beef, this weird sauce and cheese.
    I also, for happy comfort, make my own version of Olive Garden's Zuppa Tuscano. It is a potato, sausage soup that has heavy cream in it and with California Sour Dough boule warmed just crunchy........ yeah!

  18. Hi Kim,
    My favorite comfort food is Chinese jook, or congee. It's a soup made from rice, cooked forever, sprinkled with green onions, cilantro and soy sauce. Yummy and easy on the tummy and soul.

  25. Hey - I love mac and cheese - having grown up in Canada - we call it "Kraft Dinner" -- I know weird and my American hubby could never understand it - he calls it a side dish --- so I eat it when he is out of town on business!! Goes good underneath red chile too.....

  28. Mine is still spaghetti. As a kid it was my favorite, and now I make it healthier, but still yummy!

  29. Being a southern girl, my favorite comfort food is a tomato sandwich on white bread, slathered with mayonnaise. It's best if the tomato is warm from the vine and big enough that a slice covers the entire piece of bread. Add a little salt and pepper... Yum! Oh, and a glass of sweet tea on the side.

  30. Mine is a big bowl of Pennsylvania Dutch pot pie, like my gramma used to make. The kind thats like a thick soup, not an oven pie. Made with a ham bone (from Christmas or Easter) with lots of meat left on it, and cooked all day. Potatoes, and onions. And big square home-made noodles. Its a Pennsylvania thing, since most outside the state have never heard of it. But you can find recipes online for it. And its great on chilly cold days.(which we get a lot!)If you come to Pa. ask about it! XOXO Jamie Hibbs

  33. meatloaf, real mashed potatoes, corn on cob (2 please) and strawberry shortcake (biscuit kind not that nasty sponge stuff)with vanilla ice cream and sweet tea to wash it all down. Mmmmmm...eat so much that you need to take a nap after....or at least unbutton the top button of your jeans. Better still, wear your stretchy sweats.

  41. OK, I'm going to try again, Kim.....last one had too many typos....in the hot SD summer I love an almost-frozen cold beer with my home-made tomato juice; in the winter I love a deep, rich red wine to hunker down with, but I'm not sure either of them qualifies as comfort food....so....in the summer it's chips & home made salsa; in the winter nothing makes me happier than Christmas sugar cookies!

  43. My favorite comfort food? A big bowl of freshly popped white popcorn done on the stove, coated with butter and immediately followed with (in this exact order): soy sauce, lots of flakey brewer's yeast, lots of cayenne pepper, and grated parmesan cheese. Wash it down with a big glass of orange juice...hmmmmm.

  44. Italian - either baked rigatoni (with lots of cheese) or lasagna (with lots of cheese) or pizza (with lots of cheese) and of course cheese bread :-)

  47. My favorite is chicken and dumplings - rolled dumplings, not dropped ones. My grandmother used to make them to just die for but in all my years of cooking, I never managed to learn how. Mostly I ended up with just a pot of glue. The closest I find now is at Cracker Barrel restaurants. It's carb overload but yum!

  48. Today I bought some white Wonder Bread for Aidan's nutritional unit at school. Well, I just made some Wonder Bread cinnamon toast. Lovely.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Mine is "aloo or gobhi parathas". These are savory Indian breads with a filling of either mashed potatoes or cauliflower florets. They are cooked on a griddle, using ghee (clarifed butter) and served with a blob of home-made butter on it. Its a calorific overload but worth every calorie.

  50. when in need of comfort I make soup!
    chopping, dicing and slicing relieves my stress
    stirring and simmering calms me
    savoring a warm bowl of homemade soup revives my spirit
    plus ...
    I can add leftover and unused bits of this and that...
    no waste /good taste!
    I can relax and recycle at the same time !!!
    veryyyyy comforting
    :D m.e.

  51. hi - i would have to say homemade soup or a stew give me a lot of comfort but unfortunately sweets manage to sneak in there too - not good for the figure........leslie crane, canada

    Thanks for the fun!

  53. Chicken and rice with sweet corn. Yum. I think of 'home' when I make it. I don't have a hometown, home was where mom and dad laid their heads. Mom made this every birthday (still does and I'll be 45 this month!). Simple but special :)
