What is your favorite Fall comfort food? Mine is chili. What about you?

[debm55]

Must have cornbread as a side. Edit.

[MIButterfly]

1. I've never thought about fall comfort food, but I do love me some chili!

And also soup. I'm a big soup eater all year round.

[debm55]

3. Thank you MIButterfly. I keep Chili for fall and winter.

[anciano]

2. Potato chowder with bacon and cheese

[debm55]

4. Oh, that sounds very good for a fall soup. Thank you anciano.

[Chipper Chat]

5. Fried green tomatoes

(Before an autumn freeze destroys them)

[debm55]

6. Yum. We already had three frosts in my area of Pittsburgh. Enjoy, Chipper Chat.

[oberle]

with big chunks of smoked ham in it. Yum!

[debm55]

13. Yummy, Thank you very much Shambala. Love it with the ham.

[Coldwater]

9. My comfort food in the fall

Waking up this morning to frost on the pumpkin, a report of 20 hikers from Massachusetts rescued from atop Mount Washington in New Hampshire, and a nor-easter heading up the coast on Thursday,......

My comfort food in the fall is New England Clam Chowder along with Halloween Candy leftovers

[debm55]

11. Thank you very much, Coldwater. Yummy, New England Chowder. Sad to say I broke into the Halloween candy last night.

[Coldwater]

17. Make sure to leave some

for the kids

[LoisB]

10. Beef stew, chicken soup (I made a pot yesterday).

[debm55]

12. Yummy. It sounds wonderful, Enjoy your chicken soup. LoisB

[LoisB]

24. Thank you. I was a wee bit heavy handed on the salt.

[dem4decades]

52. My doctor tells me i shouldn't eat soup for that reason, but sometimes i just have to have some.

It's so good.

[Polly Hennessey]

15. Beef stew - warm, comforting. I want some right now. 😋

[debm55]

18. Yummy. thank you Polly Hennessey. It does warm the body and soul.

[johnp3907]

16. Scottish oatmeal.

[debm55]

19. Yummy. Thank you very much and enjoy your Scottish oatmeal

[multigraincracker]

20. Pumpkin pie with whipped cream.

[debm55]

21. Oh my, multigraincracker you are so right. Enjoy your pumpkin pie with whipped cream.

[CanonRay]

22. Peanut soup

[debm55]

41. Thank you very much, CanonRay. It sounds delicious. Enjoy.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

23. Chicken stew with dumplings.

I moved into an independent/assisted living facility last year and I haven't cooked since then.

[CTyankee]

28. How do you like it? We're moving into one next week. It's a Masonicare facility here in CT.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

42. This was the right choice for me.

No more home maintenance is wonderful. I also like the various social activities they have here. For example, on Fridays you can sign up to go out to a restaurant for lunch and I'm very surprised that so few people do so.

Tonight is movie night in a little theater on the second floor. I think it will be some old Alfred Hitchcock movie. Jim, the guy who does the movie night, will also bring popcorn and wine. I'll bring some cookies.

On Wednesdays up in another community room there's wine, snacks, and some kind of entertainment. Not enough people show up for that.

There was a trick-or-treat thing here yesterday in the parking lot. That was fun.

Do spend as much time as you can beforehand visiting, talking to residents and staff. I hope when you do move it's good for you.

[debm55]

33. Thank you very much, PoindexterOglethorpe. Enjoy your chicken stew with dumplings.

[surrealAmerican]

25. pumpkin bread

36. YUM, YUM, YUM. Love Shepards Pie. Enjoy and thank you Turbineguy.

[Bluestocking]

29. Warm apple pie

[debm55]

40. Yummy, Now I want apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Thank you very much, Bluestocking.

[HappyH]

30. Chili is good, I made a pot of chili yesterday.

Next up is gumbo. Nothing like some Cajun spice to chase away the chill.

[debm55]

38. Very true, HappyH. Sometimes the chili and soups are actually better the second day. Enjoy.

[TommieMommy]

31. Love chili or baked ziti 👍

[debm55]

39. Two of my favorite, TommieMommy. Enjoy your Fall comfort foods.

[ProfessorGAC]

32. Beef Bourguignon

Just a french version of beef stew served over egg noodles.
It's a very satisfying dish.
The other one is seafood etouffe. Same reason
Third one is French onion soup.

[debm55]

37. ProfessorGAC, your foods always sound so delicious and unique. Thank you for sharing and enjoy your meals.

[SheltieLover]

47. Dressing with gravey

[debm55]

49. Yes, my favorite too for Thanksgiving. Thank you very much, LogDog75

[Morbius]

48. Macaroni and cheese.

I've been on this planet for over 63 years and I haven't grown up yet. Mac & cheese, preferably home made. Can't be beat.

[debm55]

50. You"re right about that, Morbius. Homemade is the best.

[Diamond_Dog]

51. Soup!

Any kind of soup, Deb. Italian wedding soup. Split pea soup, white bean soup, potato soup, minestrone, Cream of tomato soup (the latter must be accompanied by a grilled cheese sandwich). Must be homemade!

Strangely enough I don’t care for chicken noodle.

[debm55]

66. Yummy. love your choices of soup. Delicious. Thank you Diamond_Dog and enjoy.

[Trueblue Texan]

54. I just made chili yesterday out of leftovers in the fridge...

But my favorite comfort food is probably vegetable noodle soup. Serve it with garlic bread or toasted sourdough bread with butter.

[debm55]

65. Trueblue Texan, true Fall comfort foods----chili and vegetable noodle soup. Enjoy them both.

[catbyte]

55. Baked acorn squash stuffed with sausage

These days, I try to find Impossible sausage, but you stuff the hole after you scoop out the seeds and bake until tender. Ultimate fall meal as a kid after picking a squash from our garden.

[debm55]

64. That sounds wounderful, catbyte. Enjoy your backed squash with sausage.

[SARose]

56. Chicken and sausage gumbo

Fall arrives tomorrow! Finally - doin’ the happy dance!

Dug out the ole gumbo pot last night. Hubs is sooo excited.

A piece of French bread
With which to wipe my bowl
Good for the body
Good for the soul
It's a little like religion
And a lot like sex
You should never know
When you're gonna get it next
From midnight in the quarter to noon in Thibadeaux
I will play for gumbo
I will play for gumbo

Thank you Jimmy Buffet!😂

Edited to add - we jumped the gun on chili and cornbread last week. Fall taking too long!👍🤭

[debm55]

63. Oh, I love the taste of chicken and sausage gumbo.You and hubby enjoy.

[darkstar]

57. Shepherds Pie

Typical recipe but with a bit of tiny bit of horseradish and an ample amount Worcestershire in the ground beef base. Got ingredients yesterday and making it midweek.

[debm55]

62. Thank you very much, darkstar. Enjoy your Shepherds Pie. Yum

[Xavier Breath]

58. I understand the concept, but I guess I have no seasonal context for foods I love.

I'll eat ice cream in January when it's 6 degrees outside, and I'll eat beef stew in July when it's 98.

Now I'm hungry.

[debm55]

61. HAHAHHAHAHAHHA. Thank you very much Xavier Breath. So, what's on the menu today?

[lark]

59. Yes and yes as to chili and cornbread.

The best cornbread is Mexican cornbread with cheddar cheese and green chilis - goes so perfect with chili!!

[debm55]

60. Yes. it does. Thank you, lark.
