3 on Thursday - Comfort Foods

Welcome back to a new round of 3 on Thursday!  My sparkling super-mommy of a co-host Andrea and I appreciate you playing along with us each week!  Make sure you drop by to say "hi" to her.  :-) She's pretty darn awesome!


I'm going to skip the longer spiel I post every week...in favor of just reminding you to: A. Leave Andrea or I a comment. B. Link up! C. Visit a few of the other lovely ladies who played along too. Please and THANK YOU!



3 on Thursday


This week's question:
What are your 3 favorite comfort foods?
Mac and cheese.  Not just anybody's mac and cheese - MY version.  I do it up with a real thick bechamel sauce followed by 45 minutes of baking that culminates in a panko & parm crust.  It is NOT waistline friendly...but I have a good list of people who ask for me to make them this recipe - including my mom! (aka the best cook I know!)


Mint chocolate chip ice cream.  Sure, I could probably survive with the store brand.  But I don't eat much of this stuff...so I tend to keep a few of the "good stuff" stockpiled in the freezer.  My favorites are Haagen Daaz and Ben & Jerry's.




Pineapple chunks.  Seriously...who has fruit as their comfort food?  Apparently, I do!  But it's only pineapple!  Give me an apple or orange when I'm sad, cranky or upset - and it's getting thrown back at you.  :-)

I want to know what your comfort foods are too!

  1. Mine are:
    This Italian soup made with bread my dad makes for me (it is SO good). I know the name but I'd slaughter the spelling :)
    Watermelon with A LOT of salt
    Homemade chocolate chip cookie dough. Oatmeal cookies aren't bad either ;)

  4. Fruit as a comfort food does seem a little different - but more power to you! I love mint chocolate chip ice cream too! But I'd have to say I'd choose the Dreyer's Thin Mint ice cream over regular mint chocolate chip!
