I'm just tired of dining out (no veggies other than salads), and the weather has been so cool and rainy that we've just wanted to stay home. So I've been on a COMFORT FOOD COOKING EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!! I've cooked more meals in the past few days than I've cooked in the past month. I've made vegetable soup, baked chicken with steamed broccoli, filet mignon with baked taters, lean ground beef burgers with light wheat buns and a salad, Italian sausage and green peppers with pasta, and this morning cheese omelettes. YUM!
As an aside, I'm going to take a break this afternoon. Yesterday was the first time Mom has been lucid enough to carry on a conversation since February. She said she missed us. I said, "Mom, I just drove up and took you to the doctor on Tuesday." She said, "Even if I saw you every day, it wouldn't be enough. I love you." :wub: We're going to take her out to dinner at Thai Spice in Peachtree City (love that restaurant -- great entrees under $10 with a white-tablecloth atmosphere and service) and (Mermy will like this) pick up a few items at Williams-Sonoma.😀
So, back on thread (I HIJACKED MY OWN THREAD! YESSSSS!) what are *your* favorite comfort foods, SoWallers?

TeresaSoWal GuideSouth Walton, FL30,976 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal Guidedonna - love this!! polenta is a wonderful comfort food. I like the pie recipe! I usually make polenta ahead of time, with butter and cheeses, let it sit in a casserole dish in the fridge overnight. then cut it into squares, add parm cheese to top, and bake, using this as a side or to top with something yummy. or even as an appetizer, cut into smaller pieces.
I'll try the pie!
I'll try the pie!

This morning I had a big bowl of grits all to my self, of course.
What I REALLY want is a recipe for vodka pasta sauce. Anyone??
Thanks BR, for starting this thread. :clap_1:

kathydwellsDarlene is my middle name, not my nicknameLacey's Spring, Alabama13,303 postsJoined View profileMessageDarlene is my middle name, not my nicknameMy idea of good comfort food, in no particular order. ;-) Big pot of pinto beans, served with buttermilk cornbread, fried taters with onions, fried okra, homemade fried corn, fried green tomatoes, my grandmas fried chicken, chicken fried steak and gravy, all the above served with fresh sliced home grown tomatoes, and a big hunk of vidallia onion. Mmm Mmm Good!!!!!!!! Gosh, I'm hungry now!!!!! At least I do have a roast in the oven and baby lima beans to look forward to in a little while. 😀

PoodleoneBeach FanaticKerens, Texas487 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticYesterday, since it was so cold and blowy, we made grilled turkey and cheese sandwiches with cream of chicken soup (good old Campbell's made with milke). This morning my husband made corned beef hash, scrambled eggs with picante sauce (hot H*ll on the Red-yum) and biscuits.
For regular days, comfort food includes meat loaf, stuffed peppers, potato casserole, green bean casserole, lasagna, spaghetti, tuna salad, chili....dang- now I am hungry.
And, beach runner- I wish I had tape recorded my mom everytime she was lucid. She had Alzheimer's for almost 15 years, was silent for about 5 of those and I miss her voice the most. :blush:

Sorry DD, can you tell I have PMS......:funn: Oh, I left off the best part, my grandmothers homemade German Chocolate Cake for dessert. ;-)
Let's open a restaurant in SoWal that serves real good Southern Comfort food. We could call it "Comfort Foods for the Soul". 😀

I know probably TMI on the PMS, but it is the truth. :blush: When I first started my career and not making much money, I actually lived on fried taters and onions, and I never to this day can get tired of them. Yes, Allifunn can join us as well. I think we could make millions and then buy the Washaway!!!!!! :clap_1:

And don't even think of dumping that yellowish sludge on my fries that they serve at high school football games. Cook my fries extra crisp and shave some good cheddar over the pile...toss some jalapenos on top and slide it under the broiler. NOW we are dining fine:drool:
