Comfort Foods To Help Mend Your Broken Heart
When you're down in the dumps, things get rough. Your heart isn't easy to mend, but there are ways to help for a short amount of time. One such way is eating all the comfort foods that come to mind.
You might not have tried some of these yet, and some will make your heart sing when you see them. Take a look for yourself.
Big, Big Burgers
Go to the nearest burger spot you adore and order the biggest one you can handle. This comfort food has a perfect amount of grease hidden by a variety of flavors.
Ice Cream Helps A Lot
When it comes to ice cream, you almost have an unlimited number of flavors to choose from and enjoy. Hop on Yelp and don't be afraid to drive at least 30 minutes for some tasty ice cream.
Can't Go Wrong With The Mac
Cheese. That's all that needs mentioning for this one. Whether you know the perfect mac and cheese place or have a supreme recipe, you're in the game. This is one dish that never goes out of style.
Don't Knock It Until You Try It—Deep-Fried Oreos
It's not like you can get deep-fried Oreos at every place that sells desserts, so I understand if you haven't tried them. I would ask that you give them a whirl next time you're down in the dumps.
Who Can Turn Down Pizza?
Pizza doesn't need much of an explanation. If you've picked up on the theme so far, you've noticed that most of these foods are highly customizable. If your ex didn't like pineapple on the pizza, now's your time to shine.
Need A Cherry On Top?
Much like with ice cream, milkshakes can help comfort you via a straw. Relax and take your mind off things with a few sips of that cookies and creme shake with chunks of real Oreos inside.
Order A Whole Ice Cream Cake
Ice cream cakes aren't an everyday treat, but they are fulfilling nonetheless. Many places have custom cakes, but you can't go wrong with your local Dairy Queen or Baskin Robbins.
Dive Into Some Cheesy Bread
Bread is already something we can appreciate as a comfort food. When you throw cheese into the equation, your cheesy bread (make it garlic for added taste) will take you far.
Splurge On Mini Donuts
If you thought regular-sized donuts were the thing to do, think smaller. Mini donuts are fun, sweet, and incredible. Get whatever flavors your heart desires, and you should feel better soon enough.
Two Words: Fried Dumplings
They don't look or sound like much, but fried dumplings (aka potstickers) hit the spot like you'll never believe. As long as you have the sauce to dip them in, you're good to go.
Try Out A Pie
No matter how much your heart hurts, the moment you bite into your favorite or a new flavored pie that you love, you're in your happy place. You'll thank me later.
More Sweets, But Cupcakes
They're not as large as regular cakes, but they're still capable of providing you all the satisfaction you need. Go out to the grocery store and buy some mix to make the homemade kind for a personalized taste.
Italian Spoils For The Heart
The thing about Italian food is that it too can have a ton of variations to it. With so many ways you can eat pasta, it's hard to go wrong with this.
Get Lost In The Shawarma
Shawarma isn't a dish that everyone enjoys at every point in their life, but it's always delightfully greasy and flavorful. When you bite into shawarma, you'll forget about some things.
Ever Tried Cookie Dough Cones?
Since it's a bad idea for us to eat raw cookie dough thanks to the raw egg in the ingredients, some ice cream shops found a loophole. There are cookie dough cones that you can enjoy after finishing your ice cream.
Tacos Are Always A Go To
If you've never ordered three to 10 tacos and just chowed down, you're missing out on life. The mini tacos are the perfect sized comfort food to help mend a broken heart.
Eat Until You Can't Anymore
As each new food gets added, the more I reconsider which my favorite is. Tacos stole the show, but cookies make a strong case thanks to their chewy consistency and warm chocolate.
Can't Compete With S'mores
The cool thing about s'mores is that there are levels to the process before you can consume it. You have to watch the marshmallow burn to a perfect char, then carefully sandwich everything together.
Can You Go Wrong With Poutine?
That question is rhetorical. There's a way to serve poutine that satisfies everyone. The dish might not be readily available everywhere, but if you find a good place that sells it, you're all set.
Chocolate Of Any Kind
Did you seriously think we'd forget about the master of all comfort foods? There's a reason men buy their significant others this stuff when they're in a bad mood or whenever.
