Main Menu

Comfort Food

What is comfort food? Something that makes us feel safe? Something that reminds us of home? Whatever it is, comfort foods tend to be soft, warm, and easy to prepare. Potatoes, pasta, and soups feature prominently. Here are some of my favorite comfort foods.

Fresh Pasta Ⓥ

Making fresh pasta takes less than an hour and you can't beat it for taste and texture. Kids will love the different color possibilities.

These are just a little more work than regular mashed potatoes, and have a lot more flavor.

Hearts of Palm Dip

This creamy dip made with hearts of palm and green onion will remind you of sour cream and onion potato chips.

Hoppin’ John Ⓥ

This New Orleans' inspired variation on Hoppin' John includes the traditional black-eyed peas for luck, as well as rice and tomatoes. The cooking time might seem long, but most of it is unattended.

Hot and Sour Soup

I know several people who crave hot and sour soup when they're sick. Since we're smack in the middle of flu season, I figured it was a good time to feature this vegetarian hot and sour soup recipe.

Hot Cross Buns

If you enjoy baking and have plenty of time, why not make some homemade hot cross buns? They're traditional during Good Friday, Easter, and Lent, but of course the recipe is just as delicious any time of the year.

Try this macaroni and cheese made with great Italian cheeses.
