13 Comfort Foods

The winter here in North Dakota has been amazingly mild until today. We’ve had only a few inches of snow, temperatures have been consistently 20-30 degrees above average, it’s been sunny and it’s gotten below zero only once.  I wonder if this is like to live in the south? 

However, that came to a screeching halt today, when the high was -2 F and the wind was blowing strongly.   It will be the same or colder tomorrow, with the windchill expected to be -45 to -50. When it gets cold like this I think of comfort food. Something warm and filling and nummy.

1. Mashed potatoes.

2. Home made beef stew.

3. Dad’s Favorite. Eggs, sliced potatoes, green peppers, bacon all mixed together in the pan.

4. Super Soup. My family’s recipe for minestrone soup.

5. Hot chocolate with whipped cream.

6.  French toast made into a ham and swiss sandwich.

7.  Mostaccioli. With lots of chicken in the sauce.

8.  Bread hot from the over slathered with butter and honey.

9. Chicken and Stars soup.

10. Chicken potpie.

11. Chili.

12. Roast in the crockpot with potatoes and carrots.

13.  Beef and Barley soup.
