Comfort foods are those that make us feel good, whether we are depressed, anxious, happy, sad; certain types of food help us deal with those issues/cravings.
We all have our favorite comfort foods, ranging from mashed potatoes to macaroni and cheese; fried chicken to a thick, juicy steak; chocolate to cheesecake - you name it, it's a comfort food for someone.
Can we have our comfort foods and still maintain a healthy diet? I believe we can.
