Comfort Food

One of the best aspects of living in New Jersey is that you come across so many people who have "the best” recipe for meatballs, sauce, and other Italian dishes.

Not just for leftovers, this Turkey ala King recipe is great comfort food. A rich and creamy family favorite.

This is my go-to recipe for pot roast. It comes from my very good friend Janine and was part of the cookbook I put out a while back.

This incredibly rich and creamy Lobster Mac & Cheese is the perfect starter for any meal, but be warned, you're not going to want to share it or want to move on to the main course.

This is one of my favorite soup recipes. It's so incredibly delicious but not too hard or time consuming to make.

I first made this recipe back in the mid 80’s while I was living and working for a short time in LA. I was living and hanging out with my Uncle Pete, a great cook in his own right. I was craving the “old world” flavor of a good cacciatore.

I love meatloaf! As a matter of fact, my idea of a balanced meal is having a meatloaf in each hand! That’s a true story. Meatloaf is the dish that keeps on giving; I love it cold on a sandwich the next day.

This recipe is from JoyceAnn Staples of North Brunswick, she sent this very intriguing recipe to us. The minute I read this recipe I couldn’t help but think, “Wow, what a great dish for a chilly fall evening with a nice glass of wine, good music, and a fire in the fireplace.”

With the storm approaching this weekend, something that helps kill the time is cooking. That led to us asking, what is your go-to comfort food?

Why does lasagna taste so good the next day, and the day after that and the day after that? Good lasagna takes a little time to put together but it really is a total meal within itself. Once assembled, it’s all in one pan. I love that concept!
