Easy (and Healthy) Comfort Foods for Family Dinners

We all enjoy a little comfort food now and then, something that may remind us of a favorite dish or family meal we cherished growing up. We often think of comfort food as being simple, quick, and probably not the healthiest thing we could choose for a family meal. It is possible, though, to enjoy a family dinner that tastes good, makes everyone feel good, and is good for you! Comfort food can be healthy!
