I'm just tired of dining out (no veggies other than salads), and the weather has been so cool and rainy that we've just wanted to stay home. So I've been on a COMFORT FOOD COOKING EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!! I've cooked more meals in the past few days than I've cooked in the past month. I've made vegetable soup, baked chicken with steamed broccoli, filet mignon with baked taters, lean ground beef burgers with light wheat buns and a salad, Italian sausage and green peppers with pasta, and this morning cheese omelettes. YUM!
As an aside, I'm going to take a break this afternoon. Yesterday was the first time Mom has been lucid enough to carry on a conversation since February. She said she missed us. I said, "Mom, I just drove up and took you to the doctor on Tuesday." She said, "Even if I saw you every day, it wouldn't be enough. I love you." :wub: We're going to take her out to dinner at Thai Spice in Peachtree City (love that restaurant -- great entrees under $10 with a white-tablecloth atmosphere and service) and (Mermy will like this) pick up a few items at Williams-Sonoma.😀
So, back on thread (I HIJACKED MY OWN THREAD! YESSSSS!) what are *your* favorite comfort foods, SoWallers?

Nope not yet.
Toots we're having the comfort pasta dinner tonight with meat sauce with family. The regular Sunday thing..Even more comforting when its sleeting, raining, hailing and the winds a blowing today. So we'll pig out, then march to the couch and watch a good movie.

we're doing the exact same thing!!!! a big pot of homemade tomato sauce with a little Italian sausage for extra flavor, served over spaghetti. maybe some garlic bread. and sopranos for entertainment. maybe even one last fire in the fireplace. it's rather cool today.

They got a 66 (out of 100) on their food inspection.! YIKES!

I wish it was THIS Saturday.:(
It snowed a wee bit, but windy and alternating between sleet and rain. YUCK. No Nor'easter. If it is, it is much further North of me. Thank you God! 😀
