Work is super stressful right now and I could use some comfort food ideas. Especially since mine tend to involve carbs but I think carbs are making me bloat in a way they didn’t when I was 20. (Aside: getting older sucks.) Never been a fan of ice cream either.
Mine are typically mashed potatoes, or potatoes generally, and plain bean and rice burritos, cheese optional. My husband thinks I’m crazy because it’s all so plain but when I’m sick or stressed and my stomach is upset, that’s what I want.
I chop up a potato and throw it in a bowl with water and microwave it for 10 min. Then, I fry them in a pan with either butter or olive oil. When they’re almost done, I crack open 2 eggs on top and mix it all together.
Top with ketchup. So good.
Fresh bread! The warm soft fluffy kind that I can gobble down in seconds. Ice cream is nice, but my lactose intolerance hates it lmfao
I’m in the USA and my local grocer makes bagettues throughout the day. It’s amazing to get a warm loaf fresh out of the oven at 7pm.
I know the local grocery store only makes bread in the mornings, so fresh fluffy bread at night is on me to make, alas!
Whiskey on the rocks, it’s the only thing I have left
Same, but vodka. Gotta watch those excess calories
Maruchan chicken flavor Ramen (it’s carby and full of sodium, I’m sorry).
Basic microwaved quesadilla. Two flour tortillas, sown sprinkle cheese inside…. Amount dependent on my feelings for the day. Some hot sauce to dip, or salsa. Completely shit, takes a minute-thirty to prepare and heat, and makes me happy 100% of the time.
Flour tortillas and Kraft singles. That was the extent of my mom’s cooking
A ground beef & refried bean burrito smothered in cheese and genuine New Mexican red chile sauce.
I get a cooked chicken from the grocery store and a bunch of dinner rolls. Then I eat the rolls with butter and big bites of chicken.
I do this every week but with a fresh baguette … Don’t cook on grocery day.
This would be a disaster for me: I have to eat before going to the grocery, otherwise it’s insane what I get
Peanut butter. Just peanut butter. Normally I’ll have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch but when I’m stressed I might forget the jelly and bread
It’s probably a step up that it’s no longer all carbs or all sweets. It’s also used to be Kraft Mac and cheese, but I can no longer go back from real Mac and cheese
I totally agree with you. I am all about those bean burritos. French fries. I will often enjoy mac n cheese, buldak, pizza, biryani, and chicken tikka masala. Not at the same time, though.
Pad Thai and Panang Curry Chicken, ★★★.
the amount of dead animals required for this thread is mad.
And dead plants too
They’re already dead and processed, would be an insult to not consume them.
