   ummmm let's see : Macaroni & cheese, garlic bread, garlic cheese bread, pizza with feta & kalamata olives, cheez-its, chocolate cheesecake, rice pilaf. Basically anything that is really high in carbs and fat. I LOVE cheese!!!
   
   Another good comfort food is 'faux mashed potatoes'. Simply boil cauliflower, mash it and use cream cheese or milk & butter. The texture and taste is very similar to that of mashed potatoes and it is so much better for you. I use 1-2 of those Laughing Cow 35 calorie cheese wedges, and it's pretty good comfort food.
   
   
   Thanks....now I'm hungry!

    I'm with the starch and fat crowd. Pasta -- in any form. Mashed potatoes, baked potatoes. Mac & Cheese (boxed or real).
    My Hubby turned me onto a fabulous Serbian comfort food:
    Noodles and sour cream.
    His mom used to make it with "Creamettes" but I can't find those where we live so I use the large (really large) elbow macaroni.
    Cook and drain the elbows then slather them with butter.
    Fold in sour cream -- enough to cover and don't be stingy. Hubby insists it be "real" not lowfat or fat free.
    Season with salt, pepper and a little bit of nutmeg.
    Serve with green beans (to assuage your guilt and make you feel like you are not being quite so bad!

    I just thought of another comfort food. hehehe
    
    I take store-bought garlic bread, broil it and then use a portion for a roll for a big juicy grilled burger. If I'm feeling extra decadent, I'll melt a piece of provolone on the sandwich. It's basically the best burger ever!!!
    
    
    Probably about 1200 calories a serving lol (I should work in the Burger King development kitchen or something!)

    A really good grilled cheese sandwich like one from a "greasy spoon" restaurant. My husband's grilled cheese is very close to that. Crispy, buttery crust, cheesy, cut into triangles.
