Diet-Friendly Comfort Foods
I found this interesting and helpful for people that are watching out what their eating. I got this from Yahoo Health, posted by Joy Bauer. Who would of thought that baked sweet potato fries had 0 grams of fat?!Pamper yourself with comfort food... lightened-up Oatmeal Cookies!
Oatmeal cookies... comfort food for me, but the recipes for the lighter versions are usually soooo dry! Here's a lightened up recipe (from my light cooking "Bible" from America's Test Kitchens.) I was able to take it even lower - without sacrificing taste or texture.
Cheap and Easy
(The food, not me.) I had a slight money freak-out yesterday after paying $3.99/gallon for gas for the truck. I was going to make a huge batch of fried chicken (yum), but decided I didn't want to fork out any more money. So last night's menu was grilled ham & cheese and tomato soup.Chicken Tinola
sorry for the blurry pic!
Traditional Filipino Comfort Food
I've been feeling a bit under the weather (and it may have something to do with all the fun in the sun this past Memorial Day weekend...) so I made a traditional Filipino soup dish - I find it pretty simple and oh so GOOD when you need a little pick-me-up.
What you'll need:
(with help from Pinoy Mix)
1 whole chicken (cut into parts or choice cuts of breast, thighs or wings)
2 1/2 cups young papaya or chayote [I only used 1 chayote]
1/2 cup chilli pepper leaves
5 cups water [it depends on how much broth you want]
2 tablespoons ginger (chopped)
1/2 head garlic (minced)
1 medium onion (diced)
3 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons patis/fish sauce
pinch of salt and pepper (to taste)
rice (optional)
Directions:

Maybe I'm being irrational, but I'd like to submit for everyone a problem I have with my boyfriend. I don't need to, but I'll start by saying he's a great guy... tells me every day he loves me, is always very respectful and appreciative for the things I do for him. However, we are at different levels of comfort with roommate situations.Soup-tastic Adventures: My adventures in soup
I love soup. Like, really really love it. I could eat it for every meal, every day of the week. And any kind of soup too--I don't think I've met a soup I didn't like. (Well, maybe if it was made with beets. But you never know!) The problem is I'm always so busy I never have a chance to cook for myself. I often find myself turning to canned chicken noodle soup from Cambells. Without a doubt, that's my comfort food and I'll never tire of it, but it's so much more fun to make your own! So I've decided to challenge myself. Each week I will make a new soup. I have tons of cookbooks to scour, so finding recipes shouldn't be a problem. I'll post my adventures here, and hopefully I'll inspire someone else! (FYI: I started this little project during the first few days of October, so these first few posts will be catch-up. Plus, I didn't think to take pictures until recently, so for now most will be picture-less.)What Comfort Food Are You?
You Are Potato Chips When you're stressed out, you seek food that is quick and easy. Life is pretty overwhelming at times, so you prefer comfort food that you can just grab and eat. You're the type of person who takes on too much, and you don't have a lot of free time.
