Grandma’s Comfort Food Recipes

Do you have a favorite heirloom recipe that nourishes both the body and the soul?

I’m working on an article for Faith & Family, the magazine of Catholic living, and want to share readers’ fave comfort food recipes – preferably the ones passed down from Grandma.

If you have a recipe that you think might fit, please email me at kmwicker [at] gmail [dot] com.

NOTE: The recipes need to either be original or adapted. If adapted, please include its source of origin (cookbook title, etc.).

Thanks!

    My mom used to make the most incredible thing ever – “Cowboy Dumplings.”
    They were these awesome chunks of goodness smothered in chicken gravy, with tons of paprika. I’ve been begging her to make them for years, and she won’t do it! (She just doesn’t cook anymore…)
    I’ll see if I can get the recipe!

    That's fine, Bella! Please be sure to include a brief anecdote/memory with your recipe. In other words, what makes this dish a comfort food in your life?

    God bless, and thank you for sharing your foodie inclinations with Faith & Family!

    Hi Kate,

    Just a brief note to let you know that I sent you a recipe via your e-mail.

    Have a lovely day!

    Roz (bella)

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
