CC,  looks good to me.  The local cafe charges $4 for a slice not as nice as yours.

I made a sauce that I thought might make a ' comfort ' dish.  It was awful. Most uncomfortable!

That's not good Chookie.
I decided that a lovely comfort food would be steamed puddings and custard. I used this recipe http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1243.0
And added some sultanas and  :-: for about 10 seconds.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

That sounds very interesting Nikkit, it really was going to be a very slow cook roast with no power there for a while  :D  Did the gravy taste anything like coke?



No It didn't taste like coke Judy, was sweet, but the chilli and the smokey flavours worked good together. The original recipe said 3 cans and about a cup of brown sugar  :o I figured we could cut that back A LOT!

Making pea and ham soup, in slow cooker although will give the veggies 2 seconds chop in TMX. Should go well with the Soda Bread.

Comfort food for me is savoury, like hearty soups, creamy pasta dishes, cheesy pizza.

Tonight is Chicken and Brown Rice Soup (just made, added a tin of creamed corn), Pink Alfredo Tortellini, and cheesy garlic pizza (dough is resting in 2nd bowl).

Hope that meats the challenge guidelines.

Great comfort cooking girls.
Love your tray bake cake CC.
My comfort food last night was tray baked penne with meatballs.
Tonight Jamie Oliver's hearty spiced beef stew and vanilla icecream with tenina's salted caramel sauce. The photo was taken before I drowned it in more caramel sauce 😁 Yes I agree too... comfort food = naughty food.

Yummmm Kimmy!

I think porridge is comfort food, so I made Tenina's Quinoa and Brown Rice Porridge from 'What's for Breakfast'. I was hoping to do a conversion and post as my contribution to this challenge, but found this recipe and it really is a winner. I gave my review in its own thread.

As expected, lots of different contributions which constitute comfort food - great pictures girls.
