Comfort Food

Comfort food is different for everyone.  Mr. Dan loves peanut butter toast and a big glass of milk as comfort.  I agree but usually add raspberry jam to my toast.  Some people like soups, other's like mom's mac and cheese - really I think it depends on the person, where they are from and how they were raised.  But I think one thing we can agree on is that everyone has some type of comfort food, something that makes them feel warm and fuzzy, something they'll eat on a bad day, if they're sick or something that reminds them of home.  It's a good feeling to have that food.  It reminds me of home, of being a kid, of all the comforting things I remember.

Today I made home made mac and cheese.  Mom's recipe;)  Now I can't give you the recipe, it's a family secret, but what I can do is tell you that this wonderful, yummy, hot, soothing dish made my day so much better. The feeling of warmth and the memories that came back just made me smile.  I know we're due for a big storm later in the week and so it's got me wondering.  What is your comfort food?  What do you turn to in order to get that warm fuzzy feeling?
