It's cold and dreary outside - a perfect time to eat some yummy, filling comfort food! What's your favorite and why? Mac-n-cheese? Mashed potatoes? Apple Pie?
hmm kinda depends on what led to the need for comfort food!
I am a choco-holic, so like nothing better than a cuppa Lady Grey Tea and some white chocolate .. mmmm
But for those cold wintery days it would have to be Tuna Mornay and Cheesy Mash Potatoes! yummm
I know it sounds weird, but it's something from my childhood at my favorite person in the world's house - my Grandma....eating graham crackers and milk like cereal. Yes, it gets soggy fast, so there's a bit of a strategy to maintain balance between soggy and crunchy!
Wow, your example hit a lot of my favourites! Carbs often do it for me, but the top all time for me is Oreos -- you can get them in Ireland now, but luckily for me, in much smaller packages. I'd eat the whole pack with a pint of milk!!! Second would be Green & Black's Organic Chocolate Almond bar. Green & Black are amazing organic chocolate producers based in the UK and their treats are amazing.
I am allergic to wheat, gluten, dairy, corn, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, coffee and chocolate! So that rules out a lot of the normal foods, but I love soy or rice ice cream, vanilla, covered in fresh strawberries.
lately I have to say it is home made soup. Soooo easy.
Take a little onion (or leek) w/ some oil and fry it up (add curry if you want to spice it up a little).
Add some veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, yam, squash, zucchini - you choose)
cover everything w/ some veg or chicken stock and let it simmer.
Once all is soft and mushy use an immersion stick or a blender and whip it up to make it smooth.
Take it up another notch and add some coconut milk.
Even my kids love this.
Cheers,
