Potlucks, the Holidays, and comfort food all go hand in hand.  There is nothing better counter full of warm comforting family favorites and  a gathering of friends and/or family!  Wouldn’t you agree?!

The first time I sank my teeth into this scrumptious recipe was years ago at a Christmas Potluck office party.  I loved those people, for many reasons!  One being they had some amazing recipe boxes, and I did not mind being on the receiving end of any and all of the delicious food that was shared at office potlucks.  At the time I was single living on my own and eating cold baked beans out of the can with tortilla chips for dinner.  (I know…seriously, who was that girl?)   So when there was an office potluck and a chance for me to not only get some good eats at work but bring some leftovers home I was all about it!

Over the years I have modified the recipe a bit, it’s still is in line with what one would think of as tetrazzini.  Thank you Debbie for sharing this scrumptious recipe with me nineteensome-odd years ago.   The only thing that bothers me about this recipe is its lack of color, but now that I think of it most foods that are considered “comfort food” (to me at least) are colorless.  What’s that all about? Homemade Mac-n-Cheese, fried chicken, biscuits, gravy, stuffing, apple pie, bacon, butter (oh whoops I guess that’s not a food….ok then buttered toast) all are colorless or monotone, but scrumptious none the less and not to be live without!! Amen? Amen!  Here’s to monotone food.  I think I’m going to start a new Pinterest board Monotone Food, er maybe not.

What would you say your  "comfort" food is?
