As a Southerner, ‘comfort food’ is one of my favorite phrases. I love fried chicken and macaroni and cheese, but my definition for comfort food has expanded to encompass a much wider variety of foods. Anything warm, really – cream and cheese are a bonus. There’s nothing like a warm meal to end a cold day and Winter is the perfect time to embrace slow cooking and enjoy heartier meals. When I think of Winter, I think of baked pasta and soup, but there’s so much more to enjoy! What’s your favorite Winter dish?
