Comfort food faves in order… #1 being the best.

1. Chocolate chip cookies (soft and chewy)

2. Peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies

3. Mom’s plum tart

4. Dad’s scallopped potatoes

5. Bread and butter with homemade jam (blackberry, raspberry, strawberry or apricot… depending on my mood)

There’s a definite chocolate theme going on, with cookies topping my list as the absolute faves.

  8. Just wanted you to know that I love you!! (I’m not a stalker or anything like that – I just think you are wonderful and love your site!!)

  9. Soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies would top my list too, or maybe now that’d change to triple chocolate oreo chunk cookies!

  12. My list would include Ginger Snaps and cheesecake, I’ll skip the milk and have coffee instead (am a coffeeholic)

  13. Although it’s not the first thing I would probably list if I sat down and created a list of comfort foods, whenever someone asks me my favorite, my mind goes to wedding soup.

  14. Strawberries dipped in Nutella is absolutely amazing if you’ve never tried it….and that’s MY comment!! 🙂
