Comfort Food for My Soul

What is considered comfort food? 

Is it the rich and fattening spoonful of mac and cheese? Is it the baked lasagna?

Anything these days is considered comfort food. People interuse soul food as comfort food. It isn't the case all the time. 

Comfort food is what makes you smile. It's food that makes your heart skip a beat and shriek at the smell and sight of it. It's food that brings you, your mouth, and your body at peace..more like pleasure. 

For me, comfort food reminds me of the times with my family and loved ones. 

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy a nice, piping hot, baked mac and cheese every once in a while. That warm full belly gives me undeniable pleasure. It's only you're comfort food if it lends you a shoulder. Hehe :) 

Let's not forget the holidays are coming up. This is a good excuse to get together with your loved ones and have some delicious comfort food. 

I'm thinking about making a beautiful roasted chicken or maybe a roulade of turkey. Add some yummy sides like sweet potato casserole and roasted garlic and herb potatoes with some homemade apple turnovers and you're set~! 

My mouth is watering~! ^^

See you soon~!

I'll be sure to post up lots of photos and recipes for the meal coming up ~!

Hunger is motivation

Do you ever notice that you are starving from eating so little or nothing at all? This is when hunger makes you motivated. You're motivated to go in search of that something to satisfy your craving. I went to satisfy my hunger last night. The idea of having hot, deep-fried empanadas. Who could resist? Not me. I had an order and I devoured each and every bite. The salty, flaky bites of golden crust with ground beef. Yum~ I needed an ice cold beer with it. Unfortunately, it was from a food truck and they didn't sell beer. I started my critiquing after I ate all of it. I could find so much wrong with it but at the same time it filled my craving so I let it slide. Food trucks are like a nice pair of black stilettos. They are all the same yet they're so different. The food is either good or disappointing. Sometimes, I just want to give you my critical opinion even if you don't care. Sometimes, I have to fib a little. Honestly, the empanadas did not meet my expectations. I had the best empanadas in Brazil and nothing compares. 

Time to go in search of something else to feed my hunger. Food motivates me and I hope it motivates you~! ^.~
