There's something about childhood favorites that can still provide comfort. This pertains to favorite childhood books, songs, and most of all, foods.
Favorite childhood foods can help lift a bad mood or relieve sickness. My mom gets annoyed when I tell her that most of my childhood comfort foods are from a box, can or carton, but it's true.
While they might not be the first thing I reach for now, sometimes I need that soothing taste of home and comfort. Nowadays, our family tries to stay away from premade, prepackaged foods, so I've tried to go back and "modernize" these old favorites by making them from scratch.
SPAM and Rice
Kraft's Macaroni and Cheese
Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup
Baskin Robbin's Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Häagen-Dazs' Coffee Ice Cream
Nabisco's Teddy Grahams
Sara Lee's Pound Cake
So far I've made alternatives to the Macaroni and Cheese, Chicken Noodle Soup and Pound Cake, but all with a little twist with the help of my online friends.
I'm sure I can get the ice cream and even the cookies down, but I don't know if there is a healthy alternative to SPAM (and if there is, then it's not SPAM :).
