Autumn comfort foods

Okay, if you're on a diet, don't even read this, just skip right along to the next blog because...
...Soft and Cozy presents a list of some great comfort foods perfect for Autumn.


Each of the following has been taste-tested and rated by our staff at Soft and Cozy (and by our staff, I mean me):

1) Eggnog is already out on grocery store shelves. Given the brand, drinking eggnog can be an okay experience or an absolutely delicious and soothing one (even without any alcohol added).
Highly recommended: Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice Eggnog
Very flavorful and great consistency. Not bland like other eggnog. One of the best-tasting brands available.
2) Hot chocolate with melted marshmallow.
What could be better than a warm cup of hot chocolate? How about a warm cup of hot chocolate with a chocolate covered pumpkin-shaped Peep melted inside it?
3) Candy corn. As far as we know, these have absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever but they do have the benefit of reminding most people of their childhood and the fun of trick or treating.
4) Krispy Kreme Pumpkin Spice Cake doughnuts. OMG! Like a regular glazed doughnut but with spices that will totally remind you of fall.



Readers, what are some of your favorite fall comfort foods? Feel free to comment and let me know.

Book pick


Check out "The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun" by Gretchen Rubin.

It's a fun book to read whilst cuddled up in a Snuggie and makes you think about your own life and how it could be more fulfilling.

Available at www.amazon.com
