Comfort Foods

Food that provides a nostalgic or sentimental value to someone is different for each individual and may be characterized by its high caloric nature associated with childhood or home cooking. Comfort foods vary from the sweet or savory, healthy or unhealthy, common or uncommon but are always delicious and satisfying. Bring on the nostalgia and dig into your go-to comfort food this winter.
