I think comfort food, by definition, is carbs! Think of it—would you rather be wrapped up in a blanket of soft, cuddly bread or gristly steak?!
I'll have to second the Cream of Wheat. My grandfather used to make me that for breakfast every winter day of third grade. I make it for my daughter and sometimes can't resist a bowl myself.
But Gracie, maybe it would help to have some peanut butter on that bread? Or some cheese? (Mac and cheese is a good one, too.)
But is it necessary for our comfort foods to be dietetically correct? Because that negates the whole point of the foods!
I have been eating a piece of bread with peanut butter smeared over it--lots of pb--and then folded over. It used to signify a B deficiency, but I think I have B. Now it's just how I got fat as a child, sitting in front of the TV with my spoon in the Jif.
Comfort rules!
