Well, if this isn't a time for comfort food, I don't know what is!
Cooler weather has arrived (and what a shock for us, returning to the
Northeast after 10 days in much warmer South Carolina).
The economic news isn't good and many folks are stressed about their
financial situation.
The election is nearly here and regardless of where you stand or how
you'll
vote, you have to admit the incessant talk on the news and cable
channels is full of a whole lot of negativity.
So what to do? Get together with the family, slow down the schedule,
and pull out some of those warm, comforting recipes that make you and
your belly feel full and happy.
Do comfort foods go hand-in-hand with winter weight
gain? Not necessarily. Many comfort foods aren't inherently
fattening or non-nutritious. Those that are can be changed just a
bit in order to become much more weight-friendly. And best of all,
you can avoid comfort food weight gain through simple portion control,
or side dish and beverage choices.
Want more details? Read my book and personal story: "Real People
Don't Diet". Get it here: http://www.realpeopledontdiet.com
Another great thing about comfort foods is that they're usually created
with very inexpensive ingredients. Casseroles and skillet meals can be doubled or
tripled and stored in the freezer for quick dinners on cold nights. Slow-cooked
meals make it possible to deliver home-cooked goodness just about every night of
the week, no matter what your schedule looks like.
If you're at a loss as to what comfort food looks like, or you're
interested in trying out some new recipes, here are some good websites I've come across
that may give you some ideas.
(for nutrition information on Campbell's soups, go here:
I've mentioned these before, but my Gooseberry Patch cookbooks have
hundreds of comfort-food recipes that are easy to prepare.

Enjoy these recipes, maybe during a family night complete with
movies, board games or other cozy activities. You'll be amazed at
what it does for your blood pressure.
