Work is super stressful right now and I could use some comfort food ideas. Especially since mine tend to involve carbs but I think carbs are making me bloat in a way they didn’t when I was 20. (Aside: getting older sucks.) Never been a fan of ice cream either.
Mine are typically mashed potatoes, or potatoes generally, and plain bean and rice burritos, cheese optional. My husband thinks I’m crazy because it’s all so plain but when I’m sick or stressed and my stomach is upset, that’s what I want.
Eggy in a basket. Many may know of it from V For Vendetta, and as much as I’d like to show off: I saw it on there first as well (all those years ago), but my gosh is it satisfying!
Butter one side of thick-sliced bread, use a small glass to cut a hole in the middle, plop some butter into a pan, put the un-buttered side down and crack an egg into the middle, and once it’s cooked enough flip it for a bit and then serve.
It takes practise to get the timing, of when to flip, right but once you do it’s just buttery and eggy and definitely comforts me well.
