Wow, what a great topic! I could go on forever on this subject, lol!
Comfort foods, AHHH they are SOOOO good. I like evryone's suggestions so far, but I have a few of my own. I'm not sure these qualify as 'comfort foods' but they comfort me during the cold months so I will suggest them and comment on some of the others already suggested.
Chili has to be at the top of the list, no? When its cold, hot and spicey chili is the ultimate comfort food. Add an ice-cold draft beer and I'm in heaven!
How about home-made mac-and-cheese? Add some pieces of ham into it and I love it!
When we talk about comfort food we have to talk about soup. Chicken noodle and beef vegetable are up there, but cheesy french onion is the untilmate comfort soup.
What a great topic. Any other suggestions?
Comfort food by defintion is bad for you, but we are experiencing tough times right now and the need for comfort food has never been greater. I guess we are still doing OK when we can chat and eat our comfort foods in bad times.
Times are bad, but on a very cold day we can still fill our belly with warm foods! When I can't eat when I want I will declared things bad.
