I love comfort food, how about you? Anything creamy, gooey, or cheesy has my undying loyalty. Here are some of my favorites from here on Restless Chipotle.
- Easy Potatoes Gratin are made right on top of the stove. Gooey, cheesy, and oh-so-creamy!
- Southern Corn Pudding is great as a side dish but you can also add some ham, bacon, or cooked sausage and turn it into a budget pleasing main dish. The texture is creamy and custard-like, a little hard to explain but very addictive.
- Old Fashioned Macaroni and Cheese is the real deal. Lots of gooey cheese, tender macaroni, and a topping of crispy crumbs.

Kaffeeklatsch
Noodles Romanoff was one of those dishes that I loved to see on the dinner table. I've always been a little addicted to creamy carbs!
My mom used to sprinkle chicken pieces with paprika, salt, and pepper and then broil it until it was fall apart tender with the crispiest skin you can imagine. She'd put it on the table next to a casserole dish of these noodles and a bowl of salad with Thousand Island dressing nearby.
It was a simple meal but, y'all, there's never been anything I've tasted that tasted better to me than it did!
When I got a little older she started buying the boxed kind from Betty Crocker. I didn't like that nearly as well! Give these a try and let me know how you like them - and tell me in the comments, what was your favorite side dish when you were a kid?
