What food item comes from a loved one's kitchen- or your own, that just makes everyone feel better- no matter what's ailing them?

My Mom used to perk us up with pie-dough cinnamon rolls. Also- warm rice pudding w/ cinnamon and plumped raisins. And pigs-in-a-blanket for breakfast!

Chicken Soup For The Soul

My best memory for anything that was ailing me was to go have BBQ dinner at Don's BBQ out in the Florida Everglades, Don made the best BBQ ribs in the world, the food was excellent the company great and it always warmed my soul to go there! We would always finish up our day (Sunday afternoons)with a swim in the Air-Boat landing. Nice cooling crystal clear water, a rope swing and just tons of fun. That was the Chicken Soup for my little ole soul when I was a youngster!

Yes, Pizza! Last night was an extra large deluxe Deli Pizza on special for $5.00. Close enough to being homemade. Too big to fit in my refrigerator or in my smaller top oven so I cut it in half. 2 slices was a meal, leaving 2 slices for breakfast this morning of the half. Process will repeat tonight. Ecstasy!

Next down on the list would be a PB&J Sandwich and/or a Grilled Cheese Sandwich with a dill pickle on the side.

White wine chicken soup with homemade croutons cures anything for me.
