Comfort foods with a twist


Think any comfort food from your childhood upgraded to an adult food with one or two key ingredients switcheroos. For instance, instead of using American cheese for your grilled cheese sandwich, you might use gouda or sharp cheddar, add hoisin sauce and hot Asian mustard (see photo), or grill your sandwich in a pannini press. For meatloaf, you might add some chipotle chiles for a nice flavor kick or sub ground turkey for the beef to make it heart healthier. When times are tough, comfort food is always, well... comforting, and let's face it, times are tough. Even President Obama says so.
