Anyone else desperately needs to find some healthy comfort food recipes? Is it just me? Repeat after me, I love comfort food even if I know its unhealthy whether in small or large portions. And it must be accompanied by fries- large amounts of fries. Ooh and juice! Hi, my name is Alecia and I am addicted to burgers.
Whenever we go to a restaurant, the first thing I look for on the menu is a burger. If it’s only offered on the lunch menu, I shamelessly ask if I can have it at dinner time. I even know that I should have felt sorry for my husband when I was pregnant because all I wanted were burgers.
When you are a comfort addict like I am, you need to find healthy comfort food aka diet comfort food. Is diet comfort food a thing? The words don’t even seem as if they go together.
Well because I am trying to be a bit healthier for me, I decided to find a few healthy comfort food recipes. Did I mention that mac and cheese is a big thing in this house? Sigh- it may be a struggle to switch but I am surely going to try.
