When I was little and not feeling well my mom would fix me creamed noodles, which was noodles cooked with milk and butter. Tonight I wanted some comfort food and I started craving that dish, so I made myself a plate of it.... and it really hit the spot...

Do you have a dish like that? What is it?

when i was younger, my mom used to make the most delicious home-made apple pies....each time she made one, she made special treats for me....she would take an apple and cut it into about 10 finger-size slices, sprinkle it with some cinnamon and sugar and a little pat of butter and wrap it with a small strip of pie crust dough...when they came out of the oven, she would let them cool a little and then sprinkle them with confectioner's sugar....absolutely yummy.....and just for me!

My mom would make pies too, and on holidays we would make them together. She would take the leftover crust dough and let me make pastries with it...like turnovers and stuff

Can't get much more comforting than something with alcohol in it!

Never say never, because I don't fall into that trap, however....

You take and boil up some pasta, macaroni is fine. You get a can of CAMBELLS (no subs) tomato soup and mix it in. Then you take a frying pan and fry a stick of butter. You stir it. The salt comes to the top, you stir that back in twice, when it comes back up you pour it over the macaroni mix while still hot as hell, with the resultant frying sound. Mix very quickly. Spread thinish on a plate and smother with romano cheese.

This is probably the most useless recipe I know, absolutely nothing goes with it, I have tried. It has very little if any nutritional value and it will put a spare tire on ya in a hurry. Yet every onct in about five years I make it, and remember the times when we were dirt poor and that's all there was to eat. It didn't have to go with anything :-)

The thing is absolutely nothing goes with it. Pork, beef, not even any variety of chicken I can make, and forget fish. I can't even figure out a damn veggie to go with it really. Almost totally devoid of nutrition, you'll find yourself sucking it down like a vacuum cleaner. If you like the first bite, you are hooked. If not, you can have a normal life.

My best 'comfort food' is fresh caught, fried fish. Dad would set up the cast iron pan, oil, and seasoned flour before we headed out to the boat at 'OMG it's early' in the morning, so everything would be ready when we got back. By the time I got out of the shower (last up after Mom and Dad), the first batch would be ready and the next already in the pan.
YUMMM!!!!!

Kraft Mac n cheese.. either straight, with sliced hot dogs, or Hormel chili (with beef).

Grilled cheese sandwiches, with bowls of Campbells tomato soup (made with milk, not water..and HUGE chunks of butter melting in the soup).

Elbow macaroni made with butter/salt/pepper/tomato paste.

For a drink...milky coffee, 1/3 coffee and 2/3 warmed milk with a bit of sugar and nutmeg.

Okay, this is going to be weird because my mom couldn't cook. She was one of eight and all kids were kept out of the kitchen. When she married, she brought home tv dinners and pot pies, cans of soup and stuff like that.

What she did do that I associate with comfort food is take us to Norms or IHOP...consequently, my comfort foods are:
salads with ranch or blue cheese dressing,
pancakes with fruit syrups (I make ones from berries),
a medium rare steak with baked potato and sour cream.

It's taken her years to get used to having more than salt and pepper in her home...several years ago I gifted her with garlic (for chicken) and onion powder, and right now she's sorta gotten used to using cumin (for a fiesta bean salad)...but when I bring her oregano, sage, or paprika, she gets that look...and says that her cupboard is getting too crowded.

This reminds me that I haven't made her her comfort food in a very long time...homemade cinnamon raisin bread with double the raisins and some wheat germ. I think I'll tweak the recipe a little and switch the raising for craisins (dried cranberries) and maybe grate a little orange zest instead of cinnamon. I try not to do it too often cuz she eats the entire loaf in less than two days.

FR-

Comfort food is when someone else does the cooking. Now that is comforting!

Homemade macaroni and cheese
Homemade chicken pot pie

When I was a kid my mom used to make these grilled cheese sandwiches that she would press really flat (I think it was so they would cook faster). They were very crisp and melty and so thin you could probably slide them under the door...lol. I love to make those on rainy days with a nice bowl of soup.

When I'm sick, nothing is quite as comforting as tea and toast like mom used to make.
