Comfort Food for Thought

Today I would like to engage in a conversation about something we can all agree is fantastic:

Food.

I'm a self-described "foodie." I love trying new food and experimenting with different combinations and spices. I am nowhere near the skill of someone like my father when it comes to cooking...but I'm learning. I can make a decent coconut curry...and thanks to Debbie I have a great buttermilk biscuit recipe to go with my sausage gravy recipe. I love to cook, and I am sad that grad school robs me of much of the time I could spend cooking and learning how to be better.

Because of this lack of time I've learned how to make some quick dishes that still taste awesome and I can enjoy. Cooking for convenience and comfort, as I like to call it. My favorite of these is a dish that Debbie introduced me to in high school:

Macaroni noodles, sour cream, and cottage cheese.

Before you say "yuck" I will tell you that you can't knock it until you try it. That was my initial reaction but it actually tastes pretty great. And the best part? It takes 15 minutes to make...which is perfect because I can spend the time while I'm making the noodles to catch up on Youtube or read blogs that I've missed throughout the craziness of my day.

I'm always looking for new things to try...what are your favorite "easy" dishes to make when you're pressed for time?
