comforting...

Nothing beats a good baked rice pudding.

It not only warms the belly, but it brings back fond memories
of the wonderful aroma as it baked in my mother's kitchen.

For a good recipe, try Paula Deen's.....just click here.

What is your favorite comfort food? I would love to hear about it!!


~~My family would like to sincerely thank all of you who left heartfelt words for Jordan's birthday post. Your comments are all very comforting to us.....thank you......~~

  5. I'm not sure that cookies qualify as "food", but my favorite is homemade (my mom's recipe) Chocolate Chip Cookies. Since my mom is gone, it's nice to make cookies and remember the memories of us baking together.

  9. Oh man, I want some of that and our oven is broke! Chocolate chip cookies would be comforting, but they have to be warm. Actually anything sweet and creamy and good like that is comfort food to me. I try not to comfort myself too often though! lol

  10. A baked potato or mashed potatoes - both are comfort foods to me!

  11. Forced to eat lumpy runny pudding at school it spoilt me for any and I cant bring myself to try it now, when my mum used to cook it I had to leave the room before she took it out of the oven! Hope that didnt sound rude yours is lovely I am sure. I have your recipe for the peach cake you did a while ago on my desk and waiting for the chance to try it, only problem I have is finding good peaches the ones you get here look lovely but are hard as bullets and go off before they go ripe! Could you make it with tinned peaches or is it not the same? My favourite comfort food is shepherds pie, carrots and gravy, lovely on a winter evening good british stodge. Jane xxx glad you like the necklaces if there are any left I will put them in my etsy shop next week.

  14. Any Paula Deen recipe has to be good! We didn't have rice pudding when I was growing up, but tapioca was served frequently. That would be my idea of comfort food, or anything else with sugar as an ingredient ;-) Bread pudding comes to mind. Dangerous thoughts I'm having now!

    I'm easy though - my favorite comfort food is popcorn with lots of butter shared with Scotties.

  25. My favorite comfort food? I would have to say potatoes. Anyway they're served. In a casserole, baked, mashed, soup, chips :-) I'd have trouble giving up potatoes, that's for sure. This looks great though.

  27. I absolutely love homemade rice pudding. As a child my mum always used to make it when we had a glut of milk! My favourite comfort food is bangers and mash with a good helping of baked beans!
    Enjoy your weekend.

  29. Yum! I haven't had rice pudding in AGES!! It would be easier to ask what's NOT a comfort food for me, but for today, I think bread pudding with raisins and carmels sauce would do just fine.

  30. Mmmm! that looks so good!
    Comfort foods hmmm let's see, the list is long. But one I love yet rarely make anymore, because it's so fattening is pan fried potatoes. My mother made them often.
    Fried in a black iron skillet, Yummy!

    Have a beautiful weekend!
