There's probably an official definition of "comfort food" out there somewhere, but I know what "comfort food" means to me: dishes I turn to when I'm feeling nostalgic, stressed, or blue. The dishes below have the power to sooth, to reassure, and to transport me back to favorite times and places in my life. Reflecting the fact that I'm a product of the midwest, this list definitely has a midwestern bias: heavy on the butter and beef, light on seafood. Would love to hear what foods others turn to in times of need.
