Comfort food.
One of those phrases that means something entirely different to every single person who utters the phrase. And, while comfort food may not reveal exactly which food you are savouring, it certainly reveals the feelings that those foods evoke. Sometimes comfort food brings you physical nourishment and healing that makes you feel better when you are physically or mentally unwell. It’s packed with nutrients and give you that “good for you” vibe. Sometimes comfort food is for the sole purpose of nostalgia and illuminating precious memories, where healthy qualities are not high on the list of importance.
In this case, you can make some simple swaps to make this recipe both healthy and delicious if you so choose. The biggest swaps would be the cream (no need to replace it, just leave it out) and the honey (swap for your favourite sweetener of choice).
Either way, I hope this recipe leaves you feeling well fed and full of love!
