Healthy comfort foods

I was wondering what would be good comfort foods for when you're having a really crappy day.

I don't always turn to food when I'm upset. It tends to go like this: Been crying and feeling horrible with a complete loss of appetite and usually nausea. Then when I'm feeling better, I feel like a bottomless pit from not eating for half the day ( or how ever long I felt terrible) so I eat whatever I can find in the house.

Mac n Cheese, Biscuits with sausage gravy, chicken pot pie, pancakes, french toast, ice cream, waffles

Yep (excapt biscuits with sausage gravy - yuck). I figure if you haven't eaten all day you have the calories to spare. Even if you don't one day shouldn't hurt you long term.

actually, start with chamomile tea or peppermint tea. that will take the edge off, often.

different types of comfort foods will be appealing depending on what the principal emotions you're dealing with are. For example, salty, crunchy vs. sweet and soft foods.

identify what type of comfort food you want, and then plug in something slightly healthier that fulfills that taste/texture sensation.

For example, i might eat popcorn for my crunchy, bananas with peanut butter for really feeling full and soothed, a baked potato with olive oil salt & pepper for my carby-fatty, apples galore or really, as much fresh fruit as I want of any kind for my sweet....it's cheaper to buy a thing of ice cream than to buy blueberries, pineapple, oranges, apples, strawberries AND raspberries, HOWEVER, you'll be amazed and pleased at how much taking care of yourself in the food way can help your emotional state.

I really like this recipe I found with porkchops baked in breadcrumbs and smothered in a cream of mushroom sauce. It's really good because it tastes just like fried porkchops and gravy but it's healthier http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-pork-chops-i/
