Comfort Foods
This time of year is always my favorite not just because of the holidays, but it is a great time for comfort food. Everyone defines comfort food differently, but for me comfort food can be any one of the following options. The first type of comfort food contains a high sugar content which can assist you on those days when you need a little push. The second type of comfort food would contain carbohydrates which I have found are good to eat when stressed out, but I am not saying become a couch potato. Finally, the third type of comfort food is the one near to my heart which is the food that brings you back to childhood. Even for those of you who did not have home cooked meals on a daily basis there is most likely a dish that you had in your childhood that creates a little smile. Enjoy this time of year and enjoy the comfort of whatever food you want.
Tip of the week
If you have children include them in your meal planning. Always ask them their likes and dislikes. You don’t have to make everything to their likening but a little compromise and making their favorite dish a couple times a week will make them feel special.
