I would DIE if pierogies disappeared off of the face of the earth. Last night we had my all time favorite comfort food (that my mom always used to make me) for 560 calories! It's kielbasa (turkey to keep it lighter), sauted garlic and red onions, and boiled then sauted pierogies.

Oh.....Em....Gee

What is your favorite meal that is comfort food, but can be made lighter? Why is it your favorite comfort food?

P.S. Happy Friday :)

    My favorite food many years ago when I lived in USA was potato/onion or Potato/cheese pierogies ! I would put a little butter in a pan with onions and brown the pierogies in it until pierogie was crispy on outside. I would serve it with sour cream. It must be at least 12 years or more since I have even heard the word pierogies .

    I bought them in a grocery store in the frozen food aisle. I never would find them where I live in Europe now. I never had meat with them and they were always potato based. Thanks for the great memories of one of my all time favorite foods.

    Oreo cookies in the middle of the night. Reminds me of being a kid & waking up Dad in the middle of the night.

    Pizza.
    Not sure why, but the Oreo guy made me remember,
    when I was little my family would have pizza every Friday night and watch a movie.
    That was when life was good... before everything started falling apart.
    I wonder if that's the reason I have issues with the food.

    Yes! ALWAYS serve them with sour cream, there's just no other way :)

    Pierogies are awesome, but I eat them with pasta sauce :D

    Pizza is my all time comfort food. Similar to crunchy we had a tradition when I was growing up. Every Saturday my pops would make homemade pizza and we'd watch Star Trek TNG. From there it evolved into movie night when my brother and I got older. Now I don't go a Sat without pizza. Granted I've changed up the recipe from when I learned it. Now I use whole wheat flour dough, a pizza stone, better marinara, lighter cheese, and turkey based meats.

    Chocolate chip cookies. Extra yummy if they are fresh from the oven. Not so much a family thing, just a food I love.

    My all time comfort food is cheese!

    Cheese and crackers, cheese on toast, or even just a baked camembert with crusty bread and cranberry jelly :)

    HEAVEN!
