Summer Comfort Bowls
We wouldn’t blame you if the term “comfort food” brings up thoughts of cold weather and steaming bowls of hearty soup. But winter isn’t the only time of year that people look for comfort.
We often turn to food when we need to feel comforted, yet few people crave a casserole, pot pie or stew when it’s pushing triple digits outside. That’s where our summer comfort bowls step in.
Good comfort food does not need to be warm and heavy, but it does need to check 3 important boxes:
- First, it should immediately take you back to a simpler, happier time. Comfort food is nostalgia food.
- Next, it should make any troubled feelings melt away for the entire time you’re eating it.
- Finally, it should taste so good that it triggers an eyes-closed-smile on the first bite.
Here are 5 summer comfort bowls that check all the boxes, and then some:
