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.
