Sarcastically Yours, Jen

Todays Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge from Long And Short Reviews is what is your favorite comfort foods & Why? Plus Recipe My all-time favorite comfort food is Chili. With chili, I like to brown ground turkey and add whatever I have on hand, which almost always is pinto beans and diced tomatoes of some kind. As far as what else I put in it, it depends on who I will be sharing it with, as some of my kids don’t like onions. So it varies greatly, that’s for sure. It’s so flipping easy to toss all the ingredients in the crockpot and go on with my day. Marie Collander Pot pie is one I like to heat up when I am feeling down in the cooler months. It must have some correlation to my childhood which was pretty intense so at this moment I am not sure why it provides me comfort but it does. During the holiday seasons, comfort food has always been mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie as during the year my family does not eat either. The mashed potatoes are extremely tedious and time-consuming to make so I avoid them. Pumpkin pie is something I enjoy around harvest time as it reminds me of the smells & coziness that fall brings to me. The sweet comfort foods I enjoy immensely are coconut & chocolate . Russell stover whipped cream eggs & coconut eggs. That what inspired me to look online to see what recipes I can find that have coconut & chocolate in them. Heres a link to the coconut bars that my twins & I made yesterday. They devoured the whole pan by bedtime. So yes they were very good.
