Do you have a comfort food?

I always thought of a comfort food as being your favorite food. I would say grilled cheese or macaroni and cheese are mine.
But then I got thinking with how I eat cereal probably 4 nights a week that maybe that is my comfort food. I’ve done this for years. Most the time I’d rather just sit and eat that then cook anything. Well that’s understandable rather then the time it takes to cook. Cereal is easy and quick to prepare.
Even when my husband offers to make something yummy for dinner I just want cereal. I’ll eat whatever he makes but it’s not what I really want most the time I just want cereal.
When I’m out I look forward to going home and eating it. I never tire of it and almost always eat the same kind.

@GardenGerty I just made a snack a few days ago peanut butter, honey melted and mixed with cheerios then I sprinkled mini chocolate morsels on the top.

I have no real favorite, I have many favorites. There are times I really crave home made chili. My go to fast meal is a microwaved potato. I may put cheese on it or other toppings, but I am also really happy just with butter. Some people want to snack on chips, but me, I want a potato.

@GardenGerty cereal isn’t my favorite food but I think it may be my comfort food. I actually don’t like baked potatoes at all but my husband does. I should make some for dinner tonight to go with the leftover meatloaf.

@snowy22315 I do love pizza too. I think most people enjoy that own. I’m going to try making that crazy crust pizza again tonight in a different pan.

I think we all have likes and dislikes. Whatever food makes us happy is a comfort food I think.

When I'm not feeling the best, I always want mashed potatoes. *shrug* It's what mom fixed for me when I didn't feel good as a kid.

@DaddyEvil I ate sugary cereal everyday when I was a kid. I don’t like that stuff at all now but I guess I’m just eating it for dinner now instead of breakfast

@daddyevil aww how sweet. I do love mashed potatoes and had them with dinner tonight. From what I found while googling it said most comfort foods are nostalgic. I don’t think mine is though

@shaggin Sure cereal takes you back to when you were a kid. That's nostalgia at its best.
