Comfort Foods?

Posted by rosezilla, May 13, 2008 at 6:03 PM

I had a rough morning, and for lunch, all I wanted was salami and cheese on butter crackers (a speciality for my mom)...being still in the comfort-food mode, I'm making taco salad for dinner (with that name-brand ranch dressing and too much cheese--another specialty of Mom's). When I'm in times of stress, I reach for those things as well as: bagels with cream cheese and tomato slices, beans and hamhocks with corn bread, lentil soup and a tuna sandwich, peanut butter and jelly on an eggo waffle, or vanilla Brown Cow yogurt with fruit and granola. Got me thinking...apparently I crave dairy, salt and carbs when I'm stressed.
What are your never-fail, always-perk-you-up comfort foods, and why? Mine come from my mom, mostly, but the yogurt and granola thing is my bff, and the bagels and tomato thing is from an old flame's mom. I've already noticed my three-year-old asking for particular foods after particularly "difficult" days...
What do you eat when no one's looking?
