Craveable Comfort Foods
Today is National Comfort Food Day, which means you have a free pass to indulge in your favorite comforting and satisfying dish no matter how unhealthy it is. A wise cookbook author named Norman Kolpas once said, “Food, like a loving touch or a glimpse of divine power, has that ability to comfort,” and we at Moore’s Marinades and Sauces couldn’t agree more. We believe there’s not much that a delicious, home-cooked meal with a little #MooreFlavor can’t fix.
For many of us, this means something warm, carb-filled, cheesy and meaty. From meatball sliders to a bowl of chili, Moore’s has plenty of comforting recipes to choose from. Can’t decide what you’re craving? Cook up one of our favorite comfort foods for a cozy night in:
