My Top 10 Favorite Comfort Foods

With Christmas right around the corner, I've been thinking about all my favorite foods that I'd like to enjoy before I need to get back on the wagon and start watching what I eat. Most of my comfort foods are linked to a memory of some sort. Many of those memories involve my mother and the fact that she probably made that dish just for me, even if no one else liked it. That always made me feel so special. So with that in mind, here is a list of some of my favorites that I like especially during the holidays and in no particular order...

1. Yams - yes, smothered in brown sugar and marshmallows. Although I do love plain old sweet potatoes...
2. Hot Chocolate - while this hasn't always been a favorite, I discovered (while I was pregnant with Nicky) Godiva has a fabulous hot chocolate and now I love it!
3. Biscuits
4. Brown Beans - I was raised on them and I love them...even if it makes me a little weird :).
5. Brownies - warm and gooey.
6. Homemade Potato Soup
7. Taco Soup
8. Ham - while I have sworn off pork for the most part, every now and then, a good slice of ham just sounds so good.
9. Blueberry Muffins - of course, the wonderful ones my mom makes.
10. Sausage Biscuits - my dad used to make them on Sunday mornings and they were soooo yummy!
