"In between seeing another triggering headline and staring at the wall and dissociating for a minute, we're somehow still expected to figure out what the f*ck to eat for dinner every night, too. That's where easy weeknight comfort meals come in. You have to feed the fam, so why not whip up something quick and simple that's going to make you feel cared for when it's done?"
"A comfort meal should be warm, satisfying, and so good it sparks joy. You should want to dump it in a bowl that's so hot you have to hold it with towel, grab your biggest spoon out of the drawer, and go plop down in front of the TV to watch a soothing show. We're not prioritizing our physical health with these recipes, if we're being honest."
Work, personal obligations, and nonstop news can leave people drained while dinner decisions still loom. Easy weeknight comfort meals offer quick, simple dishes that feel caring and restorative. A comfort dish should include at least one of three elements: cheese, a sauce or broth, or carbohydrates like bread, pasta, or potatoes. Comfort meals should be warm, satisfying, and joy-inducing. Serving often involves a very hot bowl, a large spoon, and a comforting show. Emotional nourishment takes precedence over strict physical-health concerns, with food aimed at comforting the heart and soul.
