When someone says "comfort food" what comes to mind? In my home there have been so many comforting and delicious dishes and everyone has their favorite. Chicken pot pie, chicken soup, and spaghetti and meatballs all make the top of the list!
Comfort food and birthdays go together for our family and every year The Birthday Boy or Birthday Girl get to pick their "favorite" thing: my husband picks barbecue, my oldest son picks meatloaf and mashed potatoes, my daughter picks chicken piccata, and my youngest son picks pizza. Not only is the actual food comforting but the sameness year after year is comforting as well.
My youngest son lives in NY now and whenever he visits his choices are always the same and include some of the good southern comfort food he grew up eating. The night we have family dinner is chicken and dumplings. Another night might be chicken fried steak, or fried chicken, or burgers on the grill. All of those wonderful comforting childhood favorites that we love!
We feel it is so much fun to share the comfort of a meal with family and friends, whether it is a birthday or a regular Tuesday night, so this week we decided to focus on comfort food recipes that we've shared with you in the past and hope you get to enjoy them all over again with someone you love!
