Day 5 ~ Food

Today = My favorite comfort foods and why I like them.

It's *highly possible* that I turn to cheese, carbs, and chocolate for comfort more than I should. lol  But I'll keep this post lighthearted and just dive right in with my current Top 10 favorites! =)

10. Mom's spaghetti and garlic bread (honestly any version of cheesy pasta with bread - a classic fav)!

9. Chili's potato soup (minus the bacon and chives)... the thickness of their soup varies a bit from day to day, but when it's creamy, it's amaaaazing!  The Miss K agrees. =)

8. QuikTrip's egg and cheese croissant - I'm a big fan of breakfast foods, and this simple sandwich is my current favorite.

7. Freddy's cheese curds - I do realize the word "curd" is unappetizing, but YUM!

6. A simple bowl of Fruity Pebbles with milk (I prefer cereal to be mushy, so I'd let it sit for a minute first)!

5. Frito chili pie (or chili topped with Cheez-its or crackers + cheese). One of my favorite crockpot meals!

4. This homemade chocolate cake with this buttercream icing (those exact recipes minus the espresso powder = perfection).

3. Hideaway cup n' curl pepperoni pizza with hand-tossed crust (specifying the cup n' curl is essential - so crispy and awesome!)

2. Los Cabos cheese enchiladas topped with queso + rice and beans = my fav comfort meal (it's this pic minus the onions) - yussss, please!

1. Marble Slab... (specifically, the Chocolate Swiss + Birthday Cake ice creams with waffle cone, M&Ms, and Reese's cups mixed in).  Ice cream is my #1 desired comfort food, and this is my top ice cream choice!  "Fill me with sweeeet sugary goodness!" lol #CandyMountainCharlie

...To answer why these are my favorites, it's always the combo of cravable deliciousness + nostalgia (good memories associated with those foods) that makes them a happy comfort food! =) This means I need to create more fun memories over vegetable trays and protein shakes! lol

Okay, this one was fun to write.  And now I'm hungry! lol
