Stars Favorite Comfort Foods

Stars Favorite Comfort Foods, Most celebrities have to watch what they eat, just like athletes do. Many fitness experts suggest that you have a day off a strict eating regiment. In other words you get a “cheat” day. Six days of eating right and one day to enjoy your favorite comfort foods. Celebrities love comfort foods too. Let’s take a look at some celebrities’ favorite “bad” foods.

Curtis Stone’s Sticky Chicken Drumsticks
Curtis Stone, accomplished chef, TLC host, and author of Relaxed Cooking with Curtis Stone, grew up in Australia spending Sundays with his grandparents, eating hearty family meals. His Sticky Chicken Drumsticks combine Asian flavors with fare we all crave: barbecue.

Martha Stewart’s Meat Loaf Sandwich and Shepherd’s Pie
Meat loaf is one of those foods that reminds us of family dinners at the kitchen table. But Martha’s meat loaf is not Mom’s meat loaf. Martha steps it up with ground beef, pork, and buffalo: an update to this classic sandwich. Top it off with Martha’s Perfect Fries. If you’re not a meat loaf fan, try her scrumptious take on Shepherd’s Pie.

Katie Lee’s Chicken Pot Pie
Katie Lee is the poster child for comfort food ever since the release of her cookbook, The Comfort Table, featuring recipes inspired by her Southern roots. Lee’s toothsome Chicken Pot Pie is just the thing to satisfy your comfort-food craving.

Guy Fieri’s “Mac Daddy” Mac ‘n Cheese
Kids crave macaroni and cheese from the box, but their taste buds will be awakened with Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives host Guy Fieri’s Mac Daddy Mac ‘n Cheese. What makes it “mac daddy” worthy? A mix of bacon, bacon fat, heavy cream, and pepper jack and cheddar cheeses. Trust us: It’s worth the extra calories.

Sara Moulton’s Heartwarming Soup
What’s a more satisfying and easy winter meal than a homemade bowl of soup? Sara Moulton’s Creamy Cauliflower Soup with Chorizo hits the spot. It’s rich and irresistible — and low in calories.

Michael Schlow’s Creamy Chicken Stew with Buttered “Noodles”
Aromatic stews evoke feelings of a warm and cozy night at home. Michael Schlow, author of It’s About Time: Great Recipes for Everyday Life, takes stews to a new level, pairing his soul-soothing Creamy Chicken Stew with his Buttered “Noodles”: ditalini pasta (a small tube shape), butter, sage, and, for an extra kick, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Cat Cora’s Chili Cheese Rice Casserole
Chili? Check. Cheese? Check. Put those two ingredients together and you’ve got gooey goodness. Cat Cora’s Chili Cheese Rice Casserole is hearty, quick, and simple to clean up: perfect for a weeknight dinner, but even better the next day for lunch.
