Work is super stressful right now and I could use some comfort food ideas. Especially since mine tend to involve carbs but I think carbs are making me bloat in a way they didn’t when I was 20. (Aside: getting older sucks.) Never been a fan of ice cream either.
Mine are typically mashed potatoes, or potatoes generally, and plain bean and rice burritos, cheese optional. My husband thinks I’m crazy because it’s all so plain but when I’m sick or stressed and my stomach is upset, that’s what I want.

Whiskey on the rocks, it’s the only thing I have left
Same, but vodka. Gotta watch those excess calories
Pad Thai and Panang Curry Chicken, ★★★.
I chop up a potato and throw it in a bowl with water and microwave it for 10 min. Then, I fry them in a pan with either butter or olive oil. When they’re almost done, I crack open 2 eggs on top and mix it all together.
Top with ketchup. So good.
Tuna mayo jacket potato always goes down a treat for me
Collard greens and bacon.
This is a perfect recipe, but I just fry up some bacon instead of using a turkey leg (though I’m sure that would be great too).
Maruchan chicken flavor Ramen (it’s carby and full of sodium, I’m sorry).
Fresh bread! The warm soft fluffy kind that I can gobble down in seconds. Ice cream is nice, but my lactose intolerance hates it lmfao
I’m in the USA and my local grocer makes bagettues throughout the day. It’s amazing to get a warm loaf fresh out of the oven at 7pm.
I know the local grocery store only makes bread in the mornings, so fresh fluffy bread at night is on me to make, alas!
Any vegetable i like fried in a pan, deglazed with any liquid (wine, broth, cream, water), some things to thicken the sauce (cheese, starch, flour), with a bit of any seasoning, and this goes on either pasta, rice or couscous. Very bad for the carbs part though, i admit.
Another option i recently found is kidney beans mashed with a fork, with some onions/garlic/green stuff in tiny pieces, maybe a bit of flour/starch and some seasoning (spices, soy sauce), fried in a layer of oil in a pan, makes very good patties that we really enjoy.
A ground beef & refried bean burrito smothered in cheese and genuine New Mexican red chile sauce.
My go to is always classic Mince and Tatties. My grandpa made it most nights when I was growing up and I find it very calming and satisfying.
Nice and plain as well so it might work for you
What’s tatties, precious?
Potatoes
Mince and tatties? Whereabouts in Scotland are you from, pal?
Highlands ✌️
I grew up in the Borders, so lowlander! Now living in England and occassionally ordering meat pies and tattie scones through the post!
California rolls, shrimp avocado rolls, salmon avocado rolls, miso soup
Or
Chipotle burrito bowl with chicken, barbacoa, brown rice, black beans, pinto beans, extra fresh tomato salsa, extra red sauce, extra cheese, lettuce, and queso
Their barbacoa is severely underrated. No idea why everyone wants the chicken so bad, it’s dry as fuck.
I like barbacoa estilo hidalgo
Ah I forgot about Japanese food. Hell yeah. You nailed it with the rolls and miso. Also Mexican food
Pizza, it’s always pizza.
Maybe for dinner tonight…
Pizza is unfortunatly my go to depression food 😅
Well stop eating it if it makes you depressed
Just had one
I normally love Mac N Cheese but since you’re wanting to cut carbs my second favorite is jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon, best on the grill but good in the oven too.
Oooh heartburn be damned, that does sound good!
Pizza
I get a cooked chicken from the grocery store and a bunch of dinner rolls. Then I eat the rolls with butter and big bites of chicken.
I do this every week but with a fresh baguette … Don’t cook on grocery day.
This would be a disaster for me: I have to eat before going to the grocery, otherwise it’s insane what I get
