Day 26: Soul Food

December 26 – Soul Food What did you eat this year that you will never forget? What went into your mouth & touched your soul? (Author: Elise Marie Collins)

This one is so easy! This past year, I discovered 2 great recipes that I frequently pull out when I'm having a horrible day: Crash Hot Potatoes and Fried Round Steak. Both of these recipes come from the Pioneer Woman, my absolutely favorite blog and source of great recipes that make me feel good. Add some great seasoned, roasted brussel sprouts and I have a meal that will really hit me way down to my soul.

I tend to eat when I'm sad or mad. Surprise :). So, having this meal in my back pocket has been great this past year. I made this meal a couple of times when my son went into JDC. This meal, minus the brussel sprouts, is also a favorite of his, so it made me feel closer to him. I think I'll pull the recipes back out to celebrate the first day of the new year tomorrow!
