Holiday celebrations, brisk weather, and warm fires make me think of one thing: comfort food. Comfort food nourishes the soul, as well as the stomach, and is usually craved by those hibernating inside for the winter season or celebrating time with loved ones.
I typically associate the phrase with super filling, satisfying recipes high in flavor (think: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, apple pie). However, the foods that provide comfort are different for everyone.
1. Comfort food appeals to the senses.
2. Comfort food is nourishing.
3. Comfort food means something to you.
4. Comfort food is what YOU enjoy.
If you are looking for some comforting food to whip up this holiday season, EVPL has many resources where you can find delightful recipes:
