Ooooooh! I would love to win this book!!! With all the stress and challenges in my life at this point in time I am so in need of ideas for creative, yummy, gluten free, comforting meals. It would be such a gift to be the winner. After so many years of eating gluten free, its awesome to know that someone out there has created stuff that could take my cooking to the next level of down home inspiration and taste.
When I am in some serious need of some comfort chow, I roast batch of kabocha squash chunks drizzled with olive oil and sea salt. And then I put the squash chunks in a nice large bowl and top it with a generous puddle of thick lemon-dill tahini dressing and eat while watching my favorite tv program. mmmmmm….
Seriously yum. Seriously comforting. :) :)
I had no idea a book like this existed but I LOVE IT! I have been trying to make vegan/gluten free meals and snacks at home but having some difficulties finding recipes that still taste amazing (picky fiance). My favorite comfort food is absolutely chocolate cake!
My favorite comfort food is tater tot hotdish. I’m from MN and you probably remember that, right? :) I made a vegan version once and it was just ok. I’d love to win this book!
Favorite comfort food? I’d have to say mac and cheese (gluten-free these days)… with Harvard beets. Sounds like a weird combo but it’s so good!
This Cookbook looks AWESOME! If I don’t win it, I will surely buy it.
My go to comfort food is always pasta with red sauce and garlic bread. Yum!
I’m Italian, so comfort food to me is a big bowl of spaghetti with olive oil and Parmesean :)

I don’t think I could pick just one comfort food! But mac and cheese was always my favorite as a child. While I ate the blue box back then, but now I have to stick to gluten-free noodles and I have found some awesome dairy free sauces. Some are even soy-free too. Anything that makes my stomach feel good is fine by me!

a wonderful tool to have. Happy weekend.

My favorite comfort food is mashed potatoes. It always has that warming effect and just makes me feel comfort.
Plain old whole sweet potatoes are my favorite comfort foods and I can (and do!) eat them for breakfast, lunch, and supper. I usually pop them in one of those steamfresh microwave bags for a few minutes to get them soft, then stick them under the broiler for a few minutes to get the skins all black and crispy. YUM!
My favorite comfort food is chocolate chip cookies! I’m still on the hunt for a really great gluten free cookie recipe, and am experimenting more and more with vegan recipes lately, too!
Awesome giveaway, Averie! =)

This vegan Mac and Cheez from VegNews is so comforting, and it’s almost perfect with just a few tweaks:
http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=40&catId=10
*Use gluten free brown rice pasta, of course!
*Take away all that margarine and add just a little olive oil instead.
*Season sauce to taste, maybe adding more cayenne or mustard if you like, and add a bit of nooch (nutritional yeast) for extra awesomeness!
*Use more sauce than you think the amount of pasta warrants – or use it for GF vegan potatoes au gratin, or add spinach for a great dip, or thin it out for an awesome soup!
*Use homemade GF bread crumbs on top – save leftover ends of breads, homemade pizza crusts, focaccia, whatever, in the freezer until you need them for bread crumbs, Pulse them in the food processor with some sea salt and dried herbs and spices like basil, parsley, garlic, and pepper. Pulse in some sliced almonds until you have crumbs, then pulse in some olive oil. Voila, the best bread crumbs ever! Top your mac and cheez, stuffed mushrooms, vegan cassoulet, any kind of casserole, or anything you like!
my favorite comfort food would have to be anything chocolate!
Bread pudding!! How I miss the taste! :)
And of course I like you on FB!
My favorite comfort foods are all the orange veggies – butternut squash, pumpkins, all the other winter squashes, sweet potatoes, carrots. If it’s full of beta carotene, it makes me happy, head to toe! I love them every which way. My favorite sweet potato methods are oven fries with cayenne and paprika, or baked up whole, mashed, and thrown in a vegan, GF burrito. I make GF flour tortillas, long grain brown rice with cilantro and oregano, refried black beans with plenty of cumin and chiles, and sweet potatoes, which I mash up with some cayenne, lime juice, and nooch. Roll ’em all up and serve with some homemade tomatillo salsa, and/or my favorite hot sauce, Alex’s Ugly Sauce. YUMS!
PASTA!!!

Oh gosh, this book would be perfect for me right now. Not only am I (obviously) mostly vegan, but I’m going gluten-free right now to see how it helps my health issues. I’ve never gone out of my way to avoid gluten in the past, so this GF world is still somewhat new to me.
My fave comfort food dish is probably a spicy curry. Unorthodox, I know :)

Mac & cheese…I’ve had it in many shapes and forms, from the scary fluorescent from a box stuff of my youth, vegan/gluten free, the make-your-heart-stop variety that uses five kinds of cheese (that recipe only comes out once a year during the holidays!) and everything in between.
This is one of my favorite gluten free vegan deserts right now : http://cannedtime.blogspot.com/2012/02/brazil-nut-cherry-cocoa-or-coconut.html. I love no bake deserts and chocolate and I love coconut. So this recipe is perfect and easy. I recently made up a batch to enter into a recipe contest so I have some in the freezer right now. When ever I need that bite of sweet, guilt free, I can grab one and let it thaw for just about 5 minutes. Yum! Thanks Averie for all the gluten free ideas you help us with too.
Mmm everything sounds awesome! I like mac and cheese. I’m a classic girl.
I’d have to choose cookies as my comfort food . . . I have a weakness for sweets and, with cookies, the possibilities are endless!

My favorite comfort food is cereal ( is that considered a comfort food? Its comforting to me, almond milk!)
This book sounds so good!!
I have never expressed my thanks to you- I will be forever grateful for baking my tofu in the oven instead of pan-frying it. I read about the method on your blog first :)
Ice cream is my comfort food of choice! But if I want something warm then there is nothing like a cozy bowl of oatmeal, I simply love oats!
