Hot Sausage Sandwiches
These Italian-inspired sandwiches make a great weeknight meal that’s a big hit with both kids and adults. If you like your sandwiches spicy, garnish them with roasted banana peppers. All this needs is a tossed salad to complete the meal.

Moroccan-Style Lemon Chicken with Olives
While some may think the flavors in this dish are a bit exotic to qualify as comfort food, I’ve included it here because I find it wonderfully soothing. It’s a great dish for a Friday night dinner with friends. Serve the chicken over whole-grain couscous and accompany it with a green vegetable such as steamed beans or sautéed spinach.
Leek and Green Pea Soup with Macarpone and Mint
This delicious soup has a mild flavor but is very substantial. Serve it as a light main course or the centerpiece of a soup-and-salad dinner, or serve smaller portions as a prelude to an elegant meal. If you’re serving this soup to guests and want to dress it up, top with garlic croutons or bacon bits.
Sticky Rhubarb Bread
I just love the sticky rhubarb topping on this tasty bread. I like to serve it as a dessert, warm from the slow cooker, and plated with forks. Leftovers are great, but to get the full benefit of the rhubarb topping, I recommend that you warm it in the microwave.
Oat Groats or Steel Cut Oats
Groats are the whole oat kernel that hasn’t been cut or flattened in any way. Steel-cut oats, also known as Irish or Scottish oatmeal, are whole oat groats cut into smaller pieces. These are the most nutritious versions of the grain. They are flavorful and nicely chewy and can be eaten with your favorite finish – milk or a non-dairy alternative, sugar or honey, raisins, chopped bananas, toasted nuts or seeds – almost anything that strikes your fancy will work.
