It's no surprise that we all have been craving comfort food in the past week. Worldwide events have everyone on edge. I have gone through my oldest recipe collections looking for sure tried and true winners, listed below.

Then as I was watching Nigella Bites (my favorite show), I saw her make a bread pudding, and I remembered the first recipe I ever saw in a fiction book. Mrs. Coverlet's Magicians is a wonderful story I read to this day; all about the Persever family and their beloved housekeeper, Mrs. Coverlet. Due to an accident with some chocolate chips, Mrs. Coverlet and the youngest Persever (the Toad) invent a new recipe - Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding. And the intrepid housekeeping goes on to win a national baking contest for her exciting new recipe!

Most comfort foods, as we know, are warm, soft, flavorful foods that remind us of our childhood (a safer time, if only in our memories). Make some of your favorite comfort foods this week, and try some of mine. And we can all hope for peace and a more comforted world together.
