HERE: 17 Satisfying Recipes
Roasted Chicken with Herb Jus
For many, namely Mr. Shop This, a roasted chicken is the ultimate in comfort foods. This recipe is extremely fragrant and juicy.
Baked Spaghetti and Meatballs
This just looks like the cheesiest casserole ever. Pasta always comforts!
Triple Chocolate Bread Pudding
Anything with bread, right? I haven't had bread pudding in years, but I remember how much I loved it. This one must be a winner. It is made with Challah bread, chocolate liquor, and heavy cream. Oh yeah!
The Montanara Pizza (Classic Fried Italian Pizza
There's pizza, and then there is this pizza. We love to make our own pizza at our house. It really is just so much better. And by the way, Whole Foods sells the perfect raw pizza dough. It is easy to work with and tastes just right. This recipe uses two cheeses, Romano and smoked mozzarella. I'm drooling.
Brisket Grilled Cheese
This recipe is for Mr. Shop This and any of you who love a good grilled cheese. I believe this recipe will comfort you all.
Dark Hot Chocolate With Mascarpone Whipped Cream
I treated myself to a homemade hot cocoa before Christmas. It was the most comforting moments of the year. I made it with heavy cream and homemade fudge melted for the cocoa. The one thing it may have been missing was Mascarpone. To die for.
Macaroni and Cheese
The ultimate in comfort for many of us, including myself. This recipe is for purists, nothing too fancy about it, yet it is perfect. Creamy on the inside with three cheeses (a must) , and a nice crunch on the outside. Yum!
Carrot Cake Cinnamon Rolls With Marscapone Frosting
How many of you remember waking up to the sweet smell of cinnamon rolls (from the can) baking in the oven? It is one of my favorite memories as a child. I promise you that these are better.
Buffalo Chicken Corn Chowder with Blue Cheese Gougères
I have heard of Buffalo Chicken Wings ( have never tried them ), but never heard of Buffalo Chowder. Thank goodness, this recipe calls for boneless skinless chicken breasts, not wings! Don't you just want to take that little puff of bread and swish it through the soup?
Lofthouse Style Soft Peanut Butter Sugar Cookies
I judge a restaurant by whether they offer cookies for dessert or not. Trust me, this girl always has room for a little cookie. Somehow it feels less decadent than a slice of cake, which I would never order. These are ooey gooey and have peanut butter frosting!
Beef Bourguignonne Pot Pie
Now this would make a super Sunday supper. It isn't a quick fix, but that crust looks as if it is worth it.
Fragrant Chicken Noodle Soup
For me, good food has to do three things - smell good, look good, and taste good. All three requisites are covered in one big bowl. This recipe has a little Asian twist to it. Go ahead. It will be good for your soul.
Mile High Apple Pie
I know someone that would do a happy dance if he had this pie. I would add some homemade caramel sauce to top it all off. The key to success in this recipe? Use a spring form pan.
This recipe had me at Sage Butter Mashed Potatoes! I adore sage in mashed potatoes. If you can believe, I have never had a short rib. This recipe just may give me a reason to try. Does this not look like comfort in a bowl?
Half Baked Harvest
Chocolate cake is just about my favorite thing in the world. I usually only have it on my birthday, but I could eat it every day. What captivated me about this recipe, was the six layers. I mean who really likes a sheet cake? If you are all about the frosting, this cake is for you.
Brown Eyed Baker
I would say 95% of my big country family, and maybe yours too, would love to dig in into a bowl of biscuits. They are not my thing, but even I say that these look perfect!
Williams Sonoma
And this is my personal comfort food. I made it for New Years. This recipe is delicious and different, as ground Italian Sausage is used!
How Sweet Eats
As a child, we had rice pudding often. I loved to eat it warm the best. This recipe is easy and rather decadent. Why not upgrade a classic?
