* NOT SO HEALTHY GIRL FAV COMFORT FOOD*

Not Nara Smith homemade but made at home and some of my favorite meals to make more than once a week!

1. I love a good smoothie all fruits and veggies 😉

2. any pasta with a salad is always top tier to me! A coke is not the healthiest but side note coke’a made in Mexico have less sugar than American made. 🤫

3. Egg centered French toast with fried season cut up potatoes with sausage this and 5 are my favorite break meals!!😝

4. Brown gravy on white rice with seasoned oven wingettes are always a quick cheap go to meal!! And top 5 in my book! 🤤

5. Loaded breakfast sandwich now you see why it’s one of my favs this you can take on the go and it’s a quick meal! 😋

When it comes to comfort food, many people have their favorites that bring joy and satisfaction. Smoothies made with fresh fruits and veggies are an excellent way to indulge while still incorporating some nutrition. For pasta lovers, pairing your favorite pasta with a salad can create a delightful balance, even if splurging on a soda. Another favorite is egg-centered French toast, which paired with seasoned potatoes and sausage can make for a delicious breakfast. Brown gravy over white rice with seasoned oven fried chicken wings is a quick and affordable option that's perfect for any meal of the day. Lastly, a loaded breakfast sandwich combines flavor and convenience—ideal for those on the go. These comfort foods, while not the healthiest, provide a taste of joy and satisfaction, making them ideal for our not-so-healthy cravings.
