Deb Dish (literally, this time) — The Debs’ Favorite Comfort Foods

Deb Elise

I just ate it, and it’s ridiculous that this is a comfort food, but here goes.  I take fat free feta cheese and melt it onto a Trader Joe’s Brown Rice tortilla.  I toast that up so it’s crispy, plop in a turkey burger patty, and drown that puppy in organic ketchup.  Has to be organic ketchup — not because it’s healthier, but because it tastes really really good.

Deb Eleanor

When I get sick, especially if there is a sore throat involved, I want nothing more than a chocolate shake and a cheeseburger from McDonald’s.  The rest of the time I couldn’t care less about fast food, but the second I feel a tickle in my throat, I’m looking for the nearest drive-thru.

Deb Kim

Open faced sandwiches. Turkey or roast beef. Lots of gravy. For a hangover? Chicken soup and a glass of milk. I made gluten free open faced roast beef sandwiches on Friday night – after a painfully long week! I felt better immediately. I also adore those chocolate covered butter biscuits from Europe – in the large square. Trader Joe’s stocks them, up by the cash registers. I had to stop buying them – they were gone before I got home and I live 10 minutes away!

Deb Sarah

Pasta! I’m a health writer for magazines (my other hat), so I am kind of a nut about nutrition. And when I’m feeling under the weather, my favorite go-to meal is a bowl of whole-wheat pasta, mixed with lightly sauteed cherry tomatoes and garlic (lots!), then I toss it all with arugula greens and a bit of Parmesan.

Deb Tawna

Does red wine count as a comfort food? If not, I have to say tater tots. The irony here is that I’m a neurotically healthy eater 99.99% of the time. I’m not a big fan of junk food, and I don’t have a lot of unhealthy guilty pleasures when it comes to food. But tater tots….mmmm! They are my Achilles heel. I seldom eat them, but I moan in bliss each time I do.
