Comfort Foods

I read a little article in Real Simple magazine this week. Some of the staff submitted their list of the ultimate comfort foods. Some I agreed with, others I did not. But it got me thinking about my favorite foods that warm up my insides as much as my outsides. Here are a few:
1. Mom's meat loaf and mashed potatoes
2. creamy potato soup
3. chili
4. Grammy's Spokane beans
5. Cream of Wheat (no nutritive value, but it sure feels good going down) with brown sugar
6. Mom's whole wheat bread
7. ham with creamed peas and potatoes
8. burgers off the grill
9. apple crisp
10. beef stew

Please tell me what your favorite comfort foods are. Maybe your warm thoughts will help us survive this winter!

Mmm, I love Cream of Wheat too. One of my favorites on a cold day is grilled cheese with tomato soup for dipping.

There's a reason that creamy potato soup has been my favorite since I was 3... Also, I tend to really love canyon toast at any time of the day or night, homemade mac and chesse, mom's spaghetti, blondies with homemade strawberry ice cream... YUM!

Comfort food to me is Amy's home cooking... Oh, and sushi on a date.

Can't wait for either one.

You forgot creamed tuna over rice. The ultimate.
