Comfort Food Recipes

What's your favorite comfort food?

My favorite comfort food recipes include noodles, tacos, braised dishes with beef or chicken, beans, stews, carb heavy dishes, and simple classics from childhood.

These comfort food recipes feel heavier and grounded when you need a little extra love, stability, and comfort in life.

My current favorite comfort food dishes include:

  • Red Lentils and Rice
  • Spanish Chicken and Rice ( aka Turmeric Arroz con Pollo)
  • Simple and Easy Tomato Bisque
  • Easy Beef and Bean Chili
