Oh this is right up my alley.

OK, here's a breakfast and dinner dish:

Fluffernutter French Toast is just what it sounds like. It's a Fluffernutter sandwich made French Toast style. For those not in the know, a Fluffernutter sandwich is peanut butter and marshmallow Fluff on Wonderbread (RIP). But, I don't like the taste of Wonderbread (RIP), so I opt for artisian bread I can buy at the local baker.

Right, onward and upward. So you make up your French Toast batter, spread some pb and fluff on two slices of bread, form a sandwich and then dip it in the batter and place it in the frying pan, griddle, etc. Let it form a nice French Toast toasty appearance on the bottom, then flip and wait for the same on the other side. The time taken to cook this French Toast will cause the PB and Fluff to melt inside. Take it off the heat and plate it and garnish with some powdered sugar. Have butter and grade B maple syrup at the side and add to taste. It's like a mouthful of heaping tasty sweet and salty gooiness in the form of French Toast. Tre awesome!

OK, so I love mac and cheese. While a kid I used to love the Kraft's box and always volunteer to make it when we had some. I soon graduated up to the fancy organic varieties and my love for mac and cheese grew even more. Then, I had some really tasty mac and cheese at a rib joint and was floored by how awesome it was compared to the stuff I made from the box. That was the lesson that brings me to why I consider homemade mac and cheese the best dinner comfort food ever.

Homemade macaroni and cheese is hands down the bomb! You can do so much with it, but I prefer to have it topped with bacon. Cheese selection is important to. I 'm not just mac with cheddar cheese guy. I look for something that makes my palette sing like Pavarotti at the Met or Cobain at CBGB's, then bake it up good like using a well used recipe that comes highly rated. During the last 10 mins of baking, I like to top with bacon. Mmmmm bacon. Pull out of the oven, let cool for 15-20 mins. Cut 2 slices out for yourself since you'll be eating 2 anyway. Eat and enjoy as your mouth does loopy dee loops that Baron Von Richtofen would be jealous of.

That's it. They're both great comfort foods and also great winter foods, too!

Enjoy!
