#1. Tati Nichole’s Coconut Curry Comfort Soup
Everyone needs a go to comfort food, for cold days or on days when you are feeling under the weather. Try this Coconut Curry Soup for a sweet and spicy flavored treasure that is light yet also fulfilling. This is our sister Nichole’s personal favorite comfort food recipe, not to mention, her sworn remedy for the common cold. We hope you love it as much as we do.
#2. Spaghetti Squash Lasagne
Looking for that cozy comfort food, but not all of the carbs and calories? Check out this healthier delicious lasagna option! This uses spaghetti squash instead of pasta, ground turkey instead of beef or sausage, and low-fat cottage cheese in place of ricotta cheese.
#3. Beef and Sausage Chili
This beef and sausage chili is a definite crowd pleaser for holiday gatherings, football watching parties, or for a family meal that will offer leftovers for the week. With a simple ingredient list and great flavor, you can make this chili your own with varied spice levels or try it our way.
#4. Brie & Ham Melt
What could be better than a Brie and ham sandwich???? A melted Brie and ham sandwich, of course. If you are looking to add variety and flavor to your lunch options, this Brie and ham melt is an easy, delicious solution. We often make these on weekend days at home or when we have visitors in town.
#5. Homemade Roasted Tomato Soup
This homemade roasted tomato soup is the perfect cozy comfort food recipe for cold days. The amazing flavor from fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic and basil makes it difficult to ever go back to the canned tomato soup I grew up on!
#6. Mastain Family Mushroom Chicken
This Mushroom Chicken is a cherished recipe from my husband’s family, originally created by his grandmother decades ago. We love enjoying this creamy, tender chicken on any cold fall or winter day and predict it is a recipe that will continue to be passed down for years to come. Smelling it cook slowly in the oven for hours during a snow storm is priceless!
#7. Creamy Cauliflower Soup
One of our favorite end of summer, early fall recipes is this creamy cauliflower soup. It is an attempt at replicating a delicious soup we had in Belize at a unique jungle resort, after our brother’s wedding years ago. Although we never got any chef’s secrets while there, we think we came pretty close with the recipe we outline here.
#8. Made Rite Sandwich
Comfort food at its finest, with a mustard and vinegar base, you can add your favorite seasonings to make it your own. The result is a delicious and hearty sandwich which satisfies.
#9. Sausage and Mushroom Lasagne
This hearty and flavorful sausage and mushroom lasagne is one of our favorite comfort foods during fall and winter months. The combination of the sausage, mushrooms, and red wine make such a delicious combination.
