My favorite is homemade tomato soup made from canned tomatoes from my garden and a grilled cheese sandwich made from thick slices of homemade bread. Nice meal when it is so cold outside and reminds me of my childhood during Lent when we did not eat any meat on Fridays.

#1, cream of wheat with lumps
#2, mashed potatoes with lumps
#3, chocolate, with or without lumps!
Actually, my comfort meal would be meatloaf w/ mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes with lots of skin left in, and green beans. For dessert, chocolate cake with sour cream frosting.

Homemade bread, fresh out of the oven, with butter. Yum, yum.
My son's caramel applesauce cake is pretty comforting, too!

My husband's grandmother used to make him mashed potatoes with homemade chicken noodle soup poured over it. Well, needless to say, it is now our famiy's favorite comfort food.
My grandmother used to make tea without tea when we were growing up. My kids always request it when they are sick. Just hot water, a little milk and a little sugar. It seems to make us all feel a little better. With the snow coming down now, I think I'll go make myself a cup! |

good old greasy pot roast with egg noodles, especially on a cold dreary day...

Just point to the cookie jar and a good cup of coffee. I could nearly survive on it, except I know better. I do limit the comfort of cookies to an occasional occurance. The coffee I have just about every day.
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

I cannot believe someone (I think it was Melina) listed Cream of Wheat! Because as I was clicking on the link, it was the first thing that came to mind for me. Mom used to make it for me whenever I was sick or when I had my period (extra iron). I still want that when I am not feeling well, or have my period!
I also lean toward the popcorn on the stove. The coffee and cookies I would not count as "comfort food", but I love them just the same.
Peace, Love, and Joy |

Chicken and dressing, in our house also referred to as "Chicken Guck". I'm sure the name does not sound appealing, but my mom makes this in the crock pot. Instead of using whole chicken pieces she would cook the chicken and tear the meat off the bone, mix it with the dressing and cook it all day in the crockpot. That stuff is out of this world.

Roast beef, carrots, and potatoes for one day and then the beef/veggie soup the day after. Also lasagna is a favorite comfort food of mine. Another comfort meal I haven't had in a long time is soupbeans (with relish in them), fried potatoes, and cornbread. Yummmy!

I like shepperd's pie. I have heard about it all my life, I think, and then this week made one and it became a hit with the hubby and grandson (who is 14 and lives with us.)
It was also something that was great to make. Peeling the spuds and browning the meat, etc. was just about as comforting as eating it. |

Roast chicken, fresh bread and butter, lemon pound cake, smashed potatoes with green onions, and best of all: homemade macaroni and cheese where the "cheese" is cream cheese and white sauce with a little dijon mustard. YUM!
P.S. See a theme? I loves me some carbs! :) |

I'll stick with my Chocolate Mousse, thank you very much! I like most of the other stuff listed, but nothing does it like Mousse, and since it's such a breeze to make now, we can have it any time at all. Since it's just the two of us, a batch (8 servings) lasts just long enough until I have the craving again and it's time to get out the whipping cream and chocolate! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Lately with all this snow and cold, I will have to go with a big bowl of chili with just enough spice and a dollop of sour cream on top and some fresh slightly sweet cornbread.
