Comfort Foods

[Karenluvs6]

The idea for this thread was taken from 'another place' I used to frequent...it went over well there so I thought I might try it here also.
Besides, everyone eats...right?!

We all have our favorite comfort foods...the dishes that make even the darkest of days seem bright and warm.....what are your favorite comfort foods?

mine?

meatloaf & homemade mashed taters
really super red hot chili with saltine crackers
spaghetti with homemade meatballs


ok....there are some of mine....let's see yours!!

[TTP]

Comfort foods. I would have to say mine would be rolls and mashed potatoes, no gravy.

[jamesglewisf]

My favorite foods are:

Pizza and a Coke
Fajitas, queso, flour tortillas

[cool chic]

I am a sucker for Lasagna...although I must say when I am feeling blue I love to eat a good chocolate bar!!!

[kezzer]

My new favorite is a tomato sandwich with mayo on roasted garlic bread! {yum}

[blinc]

doughnuts! I'm a cream filled doughnut freak. ok, so maybe that's where my diet is going to heck?

[kezzer]

Oh dang those donuts!!! One good thing about working in the bakeshop, I don't crave donuts nearly as much as I used to! Especially when I've had to make the donuts. Blinc, next time I make them I'll send you down a box!!!

[TWTCommish]

Lasanaga! Yum.

Overall for me it's something "portable" in a sense, that I can eat on my lap if need be in front of a movie or TV show - it's not just a comfort food, it's part of an entire relaxing experience...hopefully! :)

I, being a computer programmer, love hot pockets. They're pretty good, and very quick/easy. I love most things Italian - lasanaga, ziti, speghetti, and something we call pepporoni cassarolle (elbow macaroni, speghetti sauce, melted mozarella and pepporoni...or drop the pepporoni for "chees cassarolle").

Other than that - not a whole lot. I like most basic foods I suppose. Frozen pizzas are pretty cool. In terms of desert, I highly favor frozen/cold desserts. Ice cream cake, ice cream, sherbet, popsicles, etc.

What a great thread!!! I'd have to say my favorite comfort food is Pizza Hut Pizza!!! It's comforting for two reasons....first of all because I love it, and secondly because it means I don't have to cook!!!! (Chinese take out is another comfort food) ;)

[Anat]

Good chicken soup for the soul ;)

all sorts of creamy rich soups with extras. Also excellent breads with butter. Oh, and rich chocolate ice cream, preferably Haagen Daaz with tons of hot chocolate fudge...

[Karenluvs6]

mmmm, hot fudge...{homer}

[blinc]

OK Kezzer, I'll hold you to thaat box of doughnuts. Let's see... they should be getting here by tomorrow huh? mmmmm.... doughnuts {homer}

[4everHis]

I guess I would go with
Lasagna Spaghetti I can agree with hot pockets too apple pie a la mode Life Cereal (any time of day) "Hey, Mikey" Beff Stroganoff (sp?) Hotdogs at the ballpark Beef Stew Chili Hot Chocolate by the fireplace when it's snowing outside

I like to eat{yum}

[In_His_Shadow]

My favorite comfort food would have to be gumbo, boiled crawfish, and home-made icecream.

Ooh, that reminds me of a whole new category, fish! catfish, rockfish, trout, bass, etc. I love fish too!

The best comfort food for me is, by far, clam chowder. Homemade! When Iwas little my grandparents had bay property and we would dig our own clams and my grandfather would make his special clam chowder over an open fire. The recipe I use is a guesstimate at his as he never had an actual recipe. My husband and I have had a lot of fun playing around with it. It just always makes me feel warm and safe inside. Boy, sure wish I could get some of that in Russia:)

[Debby]

MMMM, MMMMM, I have to agree!! I LOVE clam chowder!!!

[Karenluvs6]

OK now you guys have made me painfully hungry!!
everything sounds so good.

for some strange reason, I have never been able to get into soups...I really don't like any kind of soup at all.

[4everHis]

I've been eating ever since I read and posted to this thread. I think I've gained 10 pounds in a day!

Mmmmmmmm........I love really good garlic bread. Not too much garlic and not too much salt...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh *loves bread*

I also really love me some good coffee. Preferably hazlenut and french.

Chicken Noodle Soup is great too...with good crusty bread that's been toasted.

I seriously have an addiction towards salad...preferably honey mustard dressing.

Apple crisp is great....*drools*

Really good cheesecake. Oreo Cookie cream pie. I love dessert.

Whipped cream and straw berries. Snickedoodles...

Is that the cream eggs? I've been soooooo good this year - I haven't had one. Do I get a gold star, or Frappydoo points, or something? I deserve it! :D

[Netlover]

Shrimp, crab, lobster, mussel, just about any other kind of seafood I can get my mouth around.
