I'm currently in the throes of a cold and making a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup :) So I started thinking about what other comfort foods people crave when they're sick, or feeling blue... that always seems to make things better. What's yours?

upon thinking on it, I have a comfort food for breakfast (cinnamon toast and hot cocoa) and then the soup/sandwich one for the rest of the day.

Oooh oh, I'm going to raid your "pleasure" drawer!
 
To occupy my time...

Homemade s'mores by the fireplace, or oven heat! It's a time to really treat yourself to whatever you crave, the mental thrill does effect your immune system. Laughing at a good comedy also raises your immune system and BMR. Gooey, drippy, S'MORES! :D
 
How about...

3 T granulated sugar
1 egg
2 t. vanilla extract
1/2 t. baking soda

extract. Combine the dry ingredients & beat into the butter mixture.
Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by large spoonfuls on a greased cookie
sheet. Bake at 375 8-10 minutes, or 10-12 minutes for a crispier cookie.

:D :rose:
 
Or healthier...

Last one...chocolate decadence..

Outback Steakhouse Sydney's Sinful Sundae


1 cup shredded coconut
4 large scoops vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup Hershey chocolate syrup
whipped cream (in a can)
4 large, ripe strawberries

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. Spread the coconut over the bottom of the inside of a large oven pan.
Shake the pan a little to spread the coconut evenly.
3. Bake the coconut for 25-30 minutes or until the coconut is a light,
golden brown. You may have to stir or shake the coconut in the
last 10 minutes to help it brown evenly.
4. When the coconut has cooled, pour it onto a plate, or into a
large bowl. Roll each scoop of ice cream in the coconut until it is
well coated. Press down on the ice cream to help the coconut stick.
Put the ice cream into four separate bowls.
5. Heat up the chocolate syrup for 10-15 seconds in the microwave.
Pour about two tablespoons over each scoop of ice cream.
Try to completely cover the ice cream with chocolate.
6. Spray some whipped cream on the top of each scoop of ice cream.
7. Cut the stems from the strawberries and place one on each serving;
upside down on the whipped cream. Serve with a spoon.

Serves four.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! :D :rose:
