garlic mashed potatoes and mac 'n cheese

This would be my last meal! Mashed potatoes themselves are good, but with a ton of garlic and butter added in, they are to die for! Macaroni and cheese doesn't need any modifications, it is perfect as is.

mac cheese

I dont care how bad it is for you, I like my mac&cheese. Im lazy, so I usually do the box stuff, but my mom makes the best ever. Def reminds me of home. :)

an odd reply

I consider myself somewhat a foodie, so my favorite comfort food will sound a bit odd. I love tuna casserole. There, I've said it! Yes, the old-fashioned style of tuna casserole replete with the canned cream of mushroom soup. It was the first thing I made when I moved out on my own into a crappy cheap apartment. We always had it baked as a kid, so I had it all ready for the oven, but the oven didn't work! My roommate and I just ate it hot mixed from the top of the stove. It was still good, and my son actually prefers it that way now. Go figure!

It must be...

Has to be peanut butter and jelly sammiches! Mom used to make me one for a snack every day after school, with lots of grape jelly, of course. I still love them to this day.

spaghetti is mine

I always craved granny's spaghetti when I was sick. Maybe it was cuz the taste buds are usually dull when you are sick, so I craved something sharp and acidic like tomatoes. For holidays it was her potato salad, especially warm holidays.
