Some good reasons to eat chili and drink hot chocolate

They’re called “comfort” foods for a reason—they bring back warm memories, tickle your taste buds, and soothe your soul. Though some comfort foods are deep-fried, covered in cheese, or packed with sugar, some can actually help you lose weight. Beat the battle of the bulge with the following cozy eats.

Hot Chocolate – for some reason, not something I'd go out of my way for
Collard Greens – my grandmother fed them to me all the time.
Chicken Noodle Soup – oh for a real home-made version!
Coffee – no need to say more than I drink at least 12 cups a day
Pot Roast – did one last night in a slow cooker. Not bad.
Oatmeal – my wife likes it
Roasted Carrots – had them with the pot roast
Red Wine – I prefer Riesling
Pumpkin – a good old American Indian food
Chili – what kind? Gotta have lots of chilis and not those wuzzy Jalapeño ones.
Chickpeas – been a long time
Roasted Potatoes – still like baked more.
Mashed Sweet Potatoes – another grandmother's dish that I just can't get into.
