How varied is your daily menu? Between taking the kids to after school activities, meeting your work responsibilities, and everything else that makes up your days, you might often find yourself eating the same thing for dinner. After all, it’s easier to just throw together the same old thing rather than trying to look up new recipes or make sure you have new ingredients on hand.
However, not only is eating the same thing boring but also it isn’t very good for your body. Check out these easy comfort food recipes that you can throw together in a jiffy!
Spaghetti Carbonara
If a culture has a patent on comfort food, it’s Italian. Just think about all that pasta! Seriously, the Italians have some of the best comfort food recipes in the world.
The great news for you is that those decadent delights are quite easy to whip up with just a few simple ingredients. With just eggs, cheese, delicious chunks of flavorful pancetta, and olive oil, you can create a creamy carbonara to rival any Italian mama’s cuisine.
Cauliflower Rice Poke Bowl
If you haven’t tried cauliflower rice yet, you’re missing out. As strange as it sounds, you can actually make something that looks and tastes (with the right seasonings) remarkably like actual rice. This is high on our list of healthy comfort food recipes because what can be better than replacing a grain with a vegetable?
Simply toss your cauliflower florets in a food processor or blender, cook with a few seasonings, and you’re done! It’s almost faster than making real rice. Serve it with rice vinegar and sesame seed oil, salmon or tuna, and a bit of avocado. Yum!
One-Pot Taco Orzo
One-pot meals are the best for a busy weeknight and a one-pot taco orzo doesn’t disappoint as one of the best winter comfort food recipes when there’s a nip in the air.
Cook up some ground beef with onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Add dry orzo with chicken broth and taco sauce, season, and let it bubble for about 10-12 minutes. Top generously with cheese and your favorite toppings like tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro. Voila! Time to dive in!
Pots de Crรจme
What about dessert? After a long, stressful day, a delightful creamy dessert spiked with a splash of whiskey is just the thing to help you unwind. Don’t worry, it’s not difficult to make. After all, the last thing you want to do is add more stress to your plate.
