Grilled cheese sammich
Mac 'N Cheese
Dinner of meat loaf, baked potato and scalloped corn

Campbell's Tomato soup doctored up by not putting in the required one can of water or milk but instead with beef consome and a shot of dry sherry! This eaten with a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and tomatoes! On a rainy day no less!

Chicken fried steak with pan gravy and biscuits

BLTs

Kraft Mac & Cheese

Brownies with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce

beef stew and fry bread..I make my stew with a little rosemary..adds so much warmth to it.

this may not be a normal one, but

basmati rice wih REAL butter and Braggs,

Shelton's turkey hot dogs with ketchup and nothing else,

and some mix of stir fryd veggies (usually broccoli, onion, maybe zuccini, chard...Mmmm)


and, that, my friends is the ideal comfort food! (or at least in my childhood!!)

White rice covered with beef stroganoff (just the sauce - no noodles) and mashed potatoes - lots of it.

I HATE cauliflower, BUT this soup changed my mind and is very comforting on a cold winter day.

Cauliflower Soup

1 med onion
2-3 garlic cloves
1 head cauliflower
1 qt chicken broth
1 tbs. salt
1/4 cup nonfat half and half
1/2 cup shredded parmasean cheese

Saute the onions and garlic till soft in stock pot... don't let them brown. Chop up cauliflower and add to onions with broth. Simmer for 20-25 min until very tender. Add salt to taste. Then allow to cool for a while. Puree with imersion blender or in a food processor until smooth. Reheat and add half/half and cheese and let melt and stir to blend.

This soup tastes great and is still pretty healthy and inexpensive.

Enjoy ! !
