Fave comfort food?



Recommended Posts

What is your favorite comfort food? It doesn't have to be healthy or bandter-friendly, but simply the food you think of as the ultimate comfort food.

I have a few. French onion Soup, homemade mashed potatoes, brocolli casserole.

Hey Faith...

If you like Cilanto there is something you just have to try. Grow your own! Seriously, as sprouts they are sooooooo good!

Ever buy sprouts for a salad? Kinda bland, yet good. I tried cilantro sprouts and I've been hooked ever since. Seeds are about a dollar and last for a year. I grow about 20 sprouts at any given time. Four to six is perfect for a sandwich as they have a strong flavor. So you don't need to pile them on as you would regular sprouts or radish sprouts.

If you need fresh cilantro for a recipe just substitute a half dozen sprouts. I'm talking about when they are an inch or two long.

They are SOOO good. And btw, you can't buy them. I invented the concept! LOL

We call cilantro coriander here and I LOVE it too.

My ultimate comfort food though, Cookies. Or anything horrifically white and high GI really.

DARN! And here I thought I invented it! LOL

Before being banded I loved salads! I'd pile on radish sprouts, the other kind as well and I loved them. I was growing my own cilantro and popped one in my mouth to see what they were like and I was in heaven.

I tried to find them on line, in the stores, anywhere. Couldn't find them. So I just kept growing my own. I don't let them get to the full grown stage, I HATE cutting and chopping the stuff. I adore the sprouts.

Hey, I love strudel, both apple and cherry, and kugelhopf. My Hungarian grandmother would take me to all the different cake shops as a child and we would devour some really delicious cakes. I think cakes are a real comfort food for me as they are also tied up in the memory of my wonderful bubbe.

Mac and cheese. It's the ultimate comfort food for me. I just read about an eatery in NY that specializes in mac and cheese. It's called S'MAC. You can have your mac and cheese 10 different ways. Yum.:hungry:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
