What's your favorite comfort food meal?

Homemade creamy tomato basil soup and grilled cheese!

This week we had chili and cornbread.

I love Giada's Pastina with Peas and Carrots...to use my grandson's new favorite word, it is "devine" 

Shepherd's Pie

Work: Roast beef with dh's awesome Yorkshire pudding  

Less work: Spaghetti made with local (Spolumbo's) sausage in the sauce

No work: Macaroni and tomatoes ... the key is to add a bit of Worchestershire sauce to the tomatoes before you put them into the macaroni  

Mmmm, I love Shepherd's Pie. (making a mental note to make that this weekend!)

Not a fall meal, but if it's warm enough to grill, our favorite is salmon on the grill and pasta salad!

Stuffing. A big bowl of Stove Top stuffing. LOL

Homemade macaroni and cheese.



I would love your recipe!

A pot of chili or Puerto Rican beans and rice w/ chicken cooked in the rice.

When I feel ill or down, I love a bowl of weetabix with hot milk. It is the food I was weaned on, and has always been a comfort food.

Cottage pie with cheese on top is a winter staple in our house, and homemade soup is always a good go to - tomato, Russian vegetable, butternut squash and chorizo, curried squash, carrot and cilantro....

iowagirl, do you happen to have a recipe for your chicken and noodles? My former MIL used to make them (with homemade noodles) but I never got her recipe before she passed. I would love to have a recipe for them

I don't use homemade noodles because the Reame's frozen are just as good and they are a time saver.

I saute onions and chopped celery in a bit of butter and olive oil, once those have cooked to translucent, I add two large chicken breats (bone in) and at least four quarts of water to a boil.   Once the chicken breasts are cooked, I remove them and let them cool.  I add a can of chicken stock to the stock already made just for more flavor.   Once the chicken is cooled, I take it off the bone and chop it up into pieces.

I bring the chicken stock back to a boil, add the frozen noodles, cook as directed (depending on how much you're cooking) and then add the chopped up chicken to the noodles for the last five minutes of cooking.   Season to taste with salt and pepper.

It's really easy and it's even better the next day.   I don't have exact measurements so depending on how many people you're feeding will depend on how much chicken to use and how many bags of noodles.

Hope this helps!

  With StoveTop stuffing!

ETA: I make mine just like iowagirl  except I add a small amount of  finely diced  carrots. It does something  really good to the chicken and noodles.

Good ole chicken and dumplings.
