Comfort food. There’s something special about it and everyone has their own special somethings that can just make the darkest days seem bright. We could have used a bit more comfort food around here the last few days. And now that Stefan is finally home again and getting back to a healthy state, he needs plenty of home-cooked to get him back on his feet. Hospital food barely qualifies as edible. It’s something warm in the belly but always lacks flavor – and sometimes identifying exactly what you are eating is a challenge too.
One of my new favorite comfort foods is the following dish. It’s a simple meal which doesn’t take long to prep but it is SO delicious. You can also freeze the chicken & gravy for quick meals during the week – the biscuits freeze great too. Use store-bought ones, a mix or make your own biscuits from scratch – either way, your family is going to be licking the bowls clean after this meal.
