When it comes to food I can eat over and over again, and ate all the time growing up, two dishes come to mind.
1) kimchi jjigae - a traditional korean kimchi stew
2) potato salad - my mom didn't make that many american dishes growing up, but she made a lot of potato salad. i can eat a gallon of potato salad by myself no joke.... i'm making some today!

When I'm sick, I need grilled cheese and orange creamsicles.
But my favorite comfort food, whenever, is beef stroganoff. I always loved my mom's recipe, but I recently found an AMAZING crock pot recipe that is my new favorite!

@Mrs. Bee: why is it that korean people love potato salad? they always have it as a side dish at korean restaurants and i never knew why since it isn't "korean" like everything else?!
i think my comfort foods just involves any kind of carbs - nothing specific!

@Andrea: i don't know why haha. it is usually the only nonkorean side dish. maybe because we like potatoes, eggs, and mayo? but korean potato salad is sweet... i don't like mine sweet.
first generation korean people like my parents typically don't eat a lot of american food other than pizza, burgers, and potato salad.

When I'm sick I need grilled cheese the way my dad makes it.
As for everyday comfort foods, I love homemade chocolate chip cookies, breakfast foods (eggs, pancakes, etc), potato salad, and warm chickeny things like chicken pot pie. And of course ice cream never hurts.

Fried chicken! They don't have fried chicken joints here and I haven't been craving fried food since my pregnancy so I've only made it once for DH since.

@SusieQ: Ugh, cookie dough is my weakness! Ha ha!
@Mediagirl: @Lozza: http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2008/04/the-ultimate-beef-stroganoff.html To skinny-it-up a little, I use plain Greek yogurt instead of the sour cream. Also, since I don't ever have apple juice on hand, I do 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar and 3 Tbsp water.
