Comfort Food

Comfort Food pretty much sums up our approach here at How To Feed a Loon.

We really don’t care what type of cuisine it is, if it’s absolutely delicious and just makes you feel good…that’s about all we’re looking for.

Here are some of most comforting dishes: Ultimate Mac ‘n Cheese, Eggplant Parmesan, Thai Red Curry Beef, Classic Chile Rellenos.

If you’re looking for comfort, folks…you’ ve come to the right place.  How about Chicken Fried Steak with Cream Gravy, Grandma’s Homemade Cinnamon Rolls, or Classic Pineapple Upside Down Cake.
