Best Comfort Food This Week

What are you eating... or craving?

Covid Body will probably be a thing after 2020, if it's not already. While some people can stay or even get fit during these times, others are turning to comfort foods. I don't think there's any shame in doing so during a pandemic, so what are you enjoying right now?

Thai is my favorite, as ever, but I'm also finding comfort in fried chicken now and then. My husband's mac and cheese is also quite good; it's semi-homemade with just a few things added. Potatoes of any kind are always a comfort for me, too. 

What are you cooking up for comfort lately? Share your recipes in the chat.

Real Good Food

Have you tried it?

Have you ever tried Real Good food? No, I don't mean any food that just tastes really good! I mean the company Real Good, which creates high-protein, low-carb foods for people who avoid sugar to enjoy.

They make everything from pizza to pasta, and even enchiladas made from chicken! They also sell stuffed chicken. These frozen goodies aren't huge, but they're delicious and packed with protein. Pairing them with a nice dinner salad makes a great meal in my book.

Have you tried any of these? Which was your favorite? Share it in the chat!

The Best Bolognese

Share your recipes!

When it comes to a bolognese sauce, everyone seems to have a secret favorite to really make the flavors pop. Sometimes it's something completely unexpected (my mom likes to add jelly for sweetness, of all things!). Sometimes it's a secret herb combination that gets passed down through families.

Some sauces are even made with special diets in mind. There's everything from vegan and gluten-free alternatives to low-carb or keto recipes. The sauces vary by cook as well as personal preferences and dietary needs.

What is your favorite variation of the sauce? Share it with us in the chat!

Hallumi Cheese

How do you like it?

Oh, hallumi cheese. Is there anything more delicious when fried and served piping hot? A friend of mine recommended the dish to us years ago and it was love at first bite! I had no idea that some people further season their hallumi, which sounds sooo good.

This curry marinade for hallumi cheese is something I need to try STAT. I'm all about curry, especially if it's spicy.

It looks like a really simple recipe, and while I wouldn't garnish with cilantro (I'm one of those soap people), I think a lot of different spice blends could really work on this! What spice blends do you use on your hallumi cheese? Share them in the chat!

Favorite Mug Recipes

Share yours in the chat!

Today Hungry Girl sent out an email featuring a "naked" eggplant Parmesan recipe in a mug, which not only has me salivating, but it's inspired me. Almost all of my mug-based cooking has consisted of desserts, and I love the idea of making actual meals in a mug.

To be fair, I've experimented with eggs in a mug, and I find it kind of silly. It doesn't take long to make them on a stove, and the only benefit to this method that I can see is if there. But with a recipe like eggplant parm, absolutely, I would love some easy, one-mug recipes for things like that!

The Best Cheddar Biscuits

How do you make yours?

Cheddar biscuits are among the most delicious foods on Earth. You can't convince me otherwise. And if they are perfectly flaky and moist with garlic in them, I'm gonna be tempted to EAT THEM ALL. I even like them cold. I'm not picky.

That's why this recipe is so intriguing to me. It features keto cheddar biscuits, which I would love to enjoy! I eat a very low-sugar/low-carb diet for medical reasons and am always looking for my favorite foods prepared in healthier-for-me ways. I am super excited to try this one out!

Chaffle And Waffle Sandwiches

Share what you are making!

When my husband worked at Target and messaged me on Black Friday to ask if we could get a waffle maker that was on sale for eight bucks, little did I know how useful that baby would be! Since then, we've made waffles, both of the sugary and keto varieties, and chaffles, made with cheese, eggs and other ingredients. All of these are great for sandwich making!

If you haven't ever used waffles or chaffles for a sandwich, this summer is a great way to play around with the idea! Here's a simple keto ham and cheese chaffle sandwich recipe but you could do this with just about any kind of sandwich, waffle and chaffle you like!

What kinds of waffle and chaffle sandwiches do you make?

Calorie-Free Flavors

How do you add them?

After being a lover of Jordan's Skinny Syrups for a long time, I still wished for more flavors. I know, they have so many already! But I've tried a lot of low-sugar flavors from other places, like our local new keto shake shop that I'm a little obsessed with, and I've discovered hundreds more. One source that has them is OOOFlavors.

Holy. Smokes. I can't wait to try these. They have everything from favorite cereals to Nilla wafers, Swedish fish to gummy bears, and even meat flavors if that's more up your alley! You can make flavored chaffles, keto cookies, shakes... the sky is the limit. They are not sweetened so you'll have to add the sweetener of your choice. I haven't tried them yet but my first order should be here this week to share with you soon.

Have you tried OOOFlavors? What did you think of them?

Low-Carb Options: Crazy Bowls And Wraps

Dine out and get something that's good AND healthy!

Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, my family and I have followed and supported businesses that give back to the community when we can. One such business is Crazy Bowls and Wraps, which is now famous for providing free meals for kids during this time. I remember when I first visited one of these restaurants many years ago and found myself unimpressed with how dirty and lackluster it was, but they've since revamped the place up and it's one of my favorites.

For starters, you can get anything in a bowl or a lettuce wrap, which significantly cuts the carbs. You're in control of what goes on your plate. You can sub broccoli for your chips as your side, and they have four new edamame flavors that are pretty delicious. They also have both cauliflower rice and spiralized zucchini noodles! What more could you ask for?

Disco Fries

Have you tried these?

The other day I was perusing some recipe sites and ran across something magical: disco fries! A Jersey diner-style food, it's simply French fries with gravy and mozzarella cheese. I kind of needs these right now, how about you?

These sound a lot like the poutine many of us know and love that hails from Canada. Brown gravy and mozzarella are traditional from what I've read, but plenty of people experiment with other cheeses and gravies, too.
