Introduction
Comfort food is meant to bring out a special feeling in all who eat it, as it creates a sense of nostalgia. It reminds us of the days where we would play with our friends from dawn until dusk and mom would have a special meal waiting when we returned home.
For many, these meals remain a comforting reminder of family and everything that it means. These recipes remind us of simpler times where the entire family would gather around the table and all seemed right with the world. In today's society, it can be difficult to find time to make the meals that mom used to make, but there are ways to make the cooking process much easier. Eating comfort food does not mean that you have to spend the entire day slaving over a hot stove, as many of the recipes allow you to cook outstanding and comforting food without sacrificing your entire day.
At the same time, it is important to remember the things that go into creating a healthy diet. Comfort food might not have the best reputation in that regard, but you do not have to eat unhealthily just because you love comfort food. Much of eating healthy has to do with the ingredients that you use and portion control. In past generations, we did not have this information regarding these ingredients, but now we do. Try using organic ingredients whenever possible and substitute low fat items for higher fat items. Of course, there will be situations where you eat a high-fat meal, but do not let that discourage you. After all, you are a human being and you have the unique ability to enjoy your food. This collection of recipes is meant to help you enjoy your meals, without causing you to gain weight.
Another thing to consider is portion control. Many of the meals in this collection are extremely large, but they are not meant to be consumed by a singular person. These meals are meant to be enjoyed by a group of people, as you gather the family together for a special night. They are also meant to leave leftovers, as you will see in the meal plan at the end of the cookbook. If you make larger portions, you will have leftovers for the next day, which can save you money. The more you can avoid eating out at lunch, the more money you will have in your bank account at the end of the month.
Comfort food is created to be enjoyed and by following these great recipes, you can be certain that you will enjoy your meals for years to come.
Chapter 1: Comfort Food – What Is It?
Before you can begin your comfort food diet, it is a good idea to know exactly what you are getting yourself into. Simply put, comfort food is anything that brings about a sense of nostalgia when eating it. As a result, comfort food recipes will be different for everyone, as it is a very personal experience.
When putting together a comfort food diet cookbook, it is important to include recipes from all parts of the country and to represent various ethnic backgrounds. It is equally important to include all-American dishes that everyone who lives in the country has tried or, at the very least, heard of.
