Holiday Comfort Foods that Warm You Up Inside

Everyone has there own favorite holiday comfort foods. These are the types of foods that make us feel like its the holidays and that we associate with this special time of the year!

They remind us of family members, a certain year, or special aromas, and give us those warm fuzzies inside. Foods that make us feel good are delectable desserts, family dishes or recipes, breads, and a whole array of other traditional holiday comfort foods.

Cherry Pie! A typical family favorite for the holidays! Looks pretty yummy, doesn't it? Emotional attachments to certain foods during the holidays, drive our cravings for them. It just wouldn't seem like the holidays without them!

Macaroni and cheese is a favorite feel good food during most of the year and a favorite for many during the holidays. It’s often the simple things that mean the most! Comfort foods are not necessarily healthy or sensible either, but they can be! There are so many different ones! They may be explained as some kind of emotional respite from the stresses of the complicated outside world.

My favorite food that I love around the holidays is my sweet potato casserole. I’ve been making this dish for more years than I’d like to count. Everyone depends on me to make it each year!

Cherry pie was my favorite part of the meal when I was a child though. My mom made the best sour cherry pie’s! We had 3 trees in our yard growing up and picked cherries every year to freeze and store for the rest of the year. What fond memories it brings back, even thinking about it right now. It was the one part of the dinner that I looked forward to the most. I can still picture my mom cooking in the kitchen and remember the wonderful smells... They filled every room in the house!

The anticipation of waiting all day for the feast was enough to drive you crazy! How I treasure those memories! Everyone loves to reminisce about their life when it wasn’t so complicated and worries were few! Those feel good thoughts and part of everyone’s life when it comes to food! This is a very partial list of some holiday foods you may associate with the holidays. Here’s what I want you to do.
