    That is almost exactly like my mom's recipe! Except she also added those frozen cubed carrots to it also.

    I'd say my favorite comfort food is macaroni and beef. My Mom never made it while I was growing up and I honestly don't know where I ate it first–but I love it!

    This is a far quicker version of the chicken and rice that I grew up with, but it's pretty close otherwise. I think I know what's going on my menu for next week–thanks for the memory jog!

    My favorite comfort foods are boiled buckwheat with butter and salt and homemade chicken noodle soup. Actually, I have so many comfort foods, I will run out of space.

    This looks like such an easy simple meal to make. I like chicken and rice together quite a bit. In fact, one of my comfort foods is chicken perlo.
