As life throws us curve balls or a perfect across the plate pitch we turn to food to celebrate those moments. But mostly when we are down and out we seek comfort and comfort comes in all shapes, sizes and tastes. Below is a list of classic comfort food choices.
Ice Cream
Where would the world be without this little chilly treat? Cool to the tongue or brain freeze central, ice cream makes us all happy.
Macaroni and Cheese
From a box, a cafeteria or mom's stove mac and cheese is certainly, universally thought of when comfort is needed.
Pizza
All night study sessions, check. Monday night football, check. The box said permanent hair color, check. Pizza is well "rounded" for every situation.
Hamburgers
Whether is your $16 gourmet burger or the dollar menu special, hamburgers is a classic choice for any crisis.
Fried Chicken
Even though no one really uses the term "fried" anymore, we know exactly when it is needed and what it is needed for. Extra crispy or original recipe, fried chicken is an all-American, down home choice for "greasing" away our troubles.
Cheesecake
Possibly the most amazing dessert creation and works well for any misfortune. If you are feeling guilty about the entire cheesecake you just ate think of it like this, you needed this food to well comfort you. And since the word cheese is in the title, consider it your daily serving of dairy. If it were covered with a fruit topping, then it is your daily serving of fruit. It's a win-win situation.
