Sometimes when you’ve had a long day, or when it’s just rainy and gross outside, all you want to do is curl up with your favorite food and relax. Sometimes there’s a certain food that brings back memories for you, or maybe a food that your parent made when you were little. What’s a food that always brings a smile to your face?
For me, I’ve always loved tomato soup and grilled cheese because my mom always made it when it was cold out. It makes me think of snow days and being wrapped up in blankets. Thai food is my other favorite comfort food- I’m not sure why but it always makes me feel like I’m at home. What foods do you love to eat?

Definitely my mom’s pasta sauce. We’re not Italian or anything but I swear its the best in the world.
If not, then my go to food is blueberry pancakes. They were my favorite when I was younger, and my dad used to make them for me every Sunday. Today they just make me happy when I eat them.
Lastly the cure to anything: chocolate. It’s heaven and on rainy days or when I just feel down I love to eat chocolate. It boosts my mood.
Yess! Dessert! Making homemade brownies and eating the batter – things like that.
I have to say macaroni and cheese is my favorite comfort food. It’s so warm and delicious. It reminds me of my childhood and just makes me feel content when I eat it. But a close second is ice cream because ice cream always makes me happier!
I feel like this is constantly changing for me, although it always seems to be something that is not so good for me! Currently though, cheesecake is what seems to be bringing me the most comfort! 🙂
Frosted flakes and milk. A bowl of frosted flakes cereal will do it for me. I drink a lot of milk and just adding some frosted flakes is my favorite movie snack.
Mac and Cheese is definitely my favorite comfort food! I love making home made mac and cheese too!!
