Comfort Food

Buttery toast
A cup of tea.
Those are comfort
Foods for me.
Time with friends
And a simple snack.
Warming times
Bring pleasures back.
Come join me
With my edibles warm.
Relaxed mornings
Have lots of charm.

I try to cut back on carbs, but certain foods just make my day. I have had plenty of coffee already today, so I made a cup of tea. The hearty, healthy Milton's bread whispered my name from the breadbox and here we are.With melted real butter spread on top of toast. I hope you are having a blessed day, no matter what time it is where you are.

We have no noodles in the house. Hubby does not care for them. I love hot soups though.

Yes @GardenGerty but I rarely buy any to begin with, I love pasta so much that if I had bread too I'd be 300 lbs by now.

If I drank just coffee I would be so over caffeinated. I buy herbal and flavored teas to go along with things.

@AbbyGreenhill I think I am needing to cut back on caffeine.

It just kind of appeared out of no where. I now can see all of us around the world with our warm drinks and buttery toasts.

I enjoy it in moderation. Today was the day for it. I absolutely prefer it to sweets believe it or not.

I drink my tea hot and straight, no sweetener or milk. Unless I feel ill then I may put honey in it.

I like it with butter, or with cream cheese. I just like warm bread of all kinds.

sometimes a good quality higher carb food, one can practice moderation, and still get what you want. I do that with chocolate. Not going to give it up. so get something really nice and don't eat as much
