    WAY off topic lol

    Just wondering what kinds of 'comfort foods' people eat. Today, at least, mine is homemade chicken noodle soup. Not often I make this since I hate rolling out the noodles. But it sure brings back a lot of good memories of mom cooking HUGE pots of soup

    The LOML has come up with two comfort foods recently that I especially like......homecooked Italian wedding soup and Chinese coleslaw.....

    Your home-made chicken noodle soup does sound good, however.

    Mac & Cheese -- from scratch with a crumb topping. No blue boxes for me.

    Buffalo Wings -- both LOML and I agree it's our favorite comfort food.

    Garlic mashed potatoes.

    Comfort foods? My problem is I have too much comfort with too many foods!

    Is there a limit on how many I can pick?

    +1 on the chicken noodle soup. We have a big pot on the stove right now - courtesy our awesome neighbor, while the LOML is recovering. Had some other soup from a different neighbor the other night too. Both are delicious. I also want to add meatloaf, as well as any sort of meat served with gravy and mashed potatos. Oh - and on a nice snowy day, after coming in from snowblowing and clearing off the cars, the wife usually has a nice crockpot full of corn chowder for me. yum yum yum

    Homemade macaroni and cheese, with tomatoes in it of course.

    Tortiere has to be one of my favourites, reminds me of Christmas eve.

    Campbells tomato soup, with Saltine crackers, another from my childhood.

    Damn, I'm at work and hungry now........Rod.

    Bonnie,

    You picked a perfect day to ask! Oh everything is fine other than overcast and chilly. So your chicken soup sounds perfect to me! Probably our favorite comfort foods would be chili and beef stew during winter. Then well just what we like in the summers are grilled meats, potatos. I'm with the guys who said mac and cheese, too! Interesting question and responses!

    Regards,

    Jude

    Chicken fried chicken, mashed taters and gravy, with green beans, not the regular type, but the real wide green bean..don't know what they are called. All time favorite.
    Others would be a big pot of red beans,(crock pot going right now with jalepeno cornbread in the oven!!), especially with the home made chowchow my MIL made before she passed away. Man I miss that stuff. Chicken enchilada soup. Chicken and dumplings the way Mom used to make it when I was a kid...LOML won't even try. Chili is also a good one on a cold winter night, with crackers and a big hunk of extra sharp cheddar cheese. Jim.

    Oops!! A big bag of peanut M&Ms. Not those wimpy 16 oz bags either.

    Number one comfort food is Mac & Cheese. To me comfort also means ease of preparation. That means the blue box stuff. Not to hijack the thread, but with the yummy answers given here, we need the recipies if you are not doing it out of a box!

    Our mac and cheese

    In the casserole layer in the macaroni then a layer of extra sharp white cheddar cheese and butter. Repeat until full. Add milk about half way up the casserole and top with crumbled saltines. Bake at 350 for 30 to 45 minutes, until the milk is absorbed.
