Serving Culinary "Comfort"

I love comfort food.

Now, I like trying new foods, making new items for dinner, eating at different ethnic restaurants. But there's something about comfort food that just makes someone relax. For me, making the food is even relaxing.

So when my husband invited another couple to come over on Friday night for dinner and a little DIY auto maintenance, I looked forward to the opportunity to serve some culinary "comfort."

Here's the menu:

Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Sauteed Haricot Vert (i.e. French green beans)
Salad ala Keith (one of the guests)
Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp ala Mode

Stay tuned for the recipes over the next few days. bjh
