Comfort food; recipes, pictures, ideas, & information!

[letssee]

Anyone interested in a recipe/pictures/ideas food thread?!?!

Not always good for you physically, not always good for some of us mentally, but it's flipping amazing and we can't always fight the cravings.

On the other hand, there is a definite importance to the phenomenon called "flow" that comes with certain hobbies like knitting, video games, model building, cooking, reading, etc, in that it is immensely helpful in reducing anxiety. Anything that engages you for an extended time gives your mind and body a break from stress.

I have a lot of recipes saved (well, indexed on my blog for reference) that all have great pictures and thought I'd start a thread for periodically dumping *really* good looking ones.

Things like baked bloomin onions, gooey monkey bread muffins, mac and cheese pizza, a pastry folding pictorial, no bake Baileys cheesecake, peanut butter chocolate chunk banana cake, chicken bacon ramen mac and cheese (mine), etc.

Try to include the source if it isn't yours, along with a matching picture if it has one!

If it's just a -really- good picture you think could just spark ideas or just looks especially amazing share that too!

Also if there are any weird combinations you enjoy, throw it out there! Mine is Fritos and sliced banana. :x

Maybe even some some individual posts about specific foods and their benefits. I have some nice infrographics on that myself.

So
Yes? No?
Fun idea?
Terrible idea?
We'll see!

It is good idea , but I do not want it to be about food , you said hobbies, lets start with the food:))the one made from scratch ;) 1110

All good things in moderation... including moderation itself.

Eat up and enjoy I say! ;)

Frankie that looks really good. Isn't someone quite the cook! I love stuff like that, but I'm so lazy with desserts. I just buy some meringues, some cream and some strawberries, and voila, 30 second wonder!

I tried to buy baileys chocolate once. I think the alcohol content is something like 0.05% in the whole bar. I got ID'd for it, and never had my wallet on me, so had to put it back. Being told you can't buy a chocolate bar in front of a packed supermarket was kinda funny. I think there was more alcohol content in the hand gel I was buying with it. I can just imagine kids trying to eat 30 bars of it to get the same kick as from half a shandy.

Your house must smell of a fairy tale. All breads cooking and deserts :)

Oh Jesse I am trying to make it as inviting as possible. with food, flowers, and a lot more...:)

[NeverToo...Fear]

The macaroni and cheese pizza got me.. that's like combing two of the worlds best foods.. I just stared at it. And kept staring at it...

My latest daring food adventure: I just had grapefruit and chocolate milk this morning. They go together quite well.

Great great thread, letssee ! Looking forward to reading everyone's food adventures and posting some of my own........... :)

[Dahila]

What about some periogies 1112

[jessed03]

Dahlia, what's inside that?

[Dahila]

Cottage cheese, potato, fried onions on real butter, black pepper and salt, It is delicious :))
Of course you can make different stuffing in this one is mushrooms fried and mixed with other things and you serve it with the clear soup. It is traditional Polish food for Xmas Eve :) 1113

[jessed03]

That sounds quite nice actually. Sounds like Indian food, but without so much spices.

[jessed03]

And also Dahila on 2000!!!

[Dahila]

Oh......................:)

Chicken curry home made its so yummy

[jjh333]

I made cracked bread a few weeks ago for Super Bowl. Basically sourdough bread, cheese, bacon, and some special spices and dressing. Amazing. 1116

[jessed03]

Creme egg brownies!!! Oh my goodness!! Where have I been living for my whole life, under a rock?!!!

I feel like food is my wife, and I'm falling in love with her all over again here, after finding out she secretly works as an exotic dancer. I shouldn't, but can't help get excited at all of the naughtiness.

Jillian, I can see how that's tasty. I can see that. Do you dip it, or eat it as is? I could go for that sure!

[jessed03]

So far not one thing that hasn't made me hungry. Time for cereal, but it seems so boring now :)

Lucy, is your chicken curry Indian or Thai?

Has anyone tried diet coke chicken? That's my plan for tonight's tea :-/

[jessed03]

I love this thread!

Googling diet coke chicken as well speak :)

[Dahila]

Guys we need to eat healthy, coke will influence the anxiety, it is full of shit.. reconsider it please. make chicken with red wine instead and some basmati rice+plus leafy kale

[jessed03]

Did you know if you drop a tooth in a glass of coke, it's completely disappeared next morning?

[NeverToo...Fear]

^ Holy crow, seriously? I know you can use coke to clean toilets, but it can dissolve a tooth? I just drank something sugary, but it wasn't coke, so I should be fine, right? ;) *Runs to go brush teeth*

I don't know Crista ;) this is an anxiety forum, you might have a tropical disease now

Yeah, true. Seriously. But in your mouth you have saliva and everything that protects your teeth.

That's why I don't drink coke. It's evil. It's all about Pepsi!!!!

Everything in moderation, even too much fruit juice is bad for you. ;)
