Comfort foods help relieve the stresses of life. Foods with a personal meaning are considered comfort foods. They can remind you of something from childhood, a particular food your mom gave you when you where sick, or just something grandma used to make. Comfort foods are satisfying and are usually a carbohydrate food. There is a reason to go for the ice cream in the freezer, the peanut butter and toast, or the macaroni and cheese. It provides us with a sense of nostalgia.
When I was sick, my grandma used to give me her chicken pastina soup and tea with milk and sugar. To this day, it still makes me feel better.
There are many variations of comfort served at our Michigan soup company restaurant from soup to ice cream. You are welcome to join us for a bowl of comfort at Maceri’s www.soup-scoop.com.
