From Huskies To Husbands

What is comfort food to you?  Is it chicken noodle soup, or macaroni and cheese?  Is it pot roast, or spaghetti with meat balls?  Is it Chinese food, or mashed potatoes? Is it a banana split sundae, or BBQ?  Is it something that your Mother or Father or Grandmother used to cook special for you?  What memories are attached to your comfort foods?  Do comfort foods help to lift your spirits when you are down or ill?

That is a lot of questions!  LOL  For me comfort food brings back memories of happy times.  Holidays spent together with friends and family.  Special occasions and celebrations as well as milestones in life.

Today we are having oven roasted turkey, dairy free mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and for a veggie peas and corn mixed together.  For us at least this is a comfort food meal, one of many comfort food meals I might add!

Sadly a lot of my traditional comfort foods now make me ill and I am unable to eat them due to my dairy allergy/intolerance.  I miss my special creamy macaroni and cheese bake with cream of mushroom soup, poor mans peirogi, pizza, cheese cake, ice cream, and on and on the list could go.  Some things I make using dairy free alternatives for example lasagna turns out great this way, but many others just aren’t the same

I would love to hear what your comfort food is and why!
