A lot of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are not good and are to be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely healthy and it’s good for you to consume them. Some foods actually do raise your mood when you eat them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Cold water fish are excellent if you want to be in a better mood. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all chock-full of omega-3s and DHA.

The ingredients needed to prepare Mama's Southern Potato Salad:
- Prepare 4-6 Med to Large Russet potatoes or 8-10 Red potatoes (Using russets in the pictures)
- Provide 4 Large Eggs (or more if you like, my family does, so I use 6, at least)
- Take 1 Med Sweet onion or 1 Bundle Green Onions (Optional) Using sweet onion for these pics
- Take 1 1/2 c. Mayonnaise (Maybe a little more or less to taste)
- You need 1/3 c. Sweet Relish
- Provide 2 tbsp. (of each) Spicy, Honey Dijon, and Reg. Mustard
- You need 2 tbsp. Creole Seasoning (More or Less depending on how you like your spice level!! You can buy at the grocery store but I also have a homemade recipe for it as well, on my page)
- Get 1/4 c. Bacon Bits or 2-3 slices of bacon, fried and broken up
- Use 2-3 Roasted Garlic Cloves minced and chopped up (Easy, EASY recipe also available for Roasted Garlic on my page) or Couple tbsp Minced garlic, Garlic Salt or Powder will work too
- You need To Taste Salt and Pepper
Instructions to make Mama's Southern Potato Salad:
- Get the potatoes in heavily salted water, begin to slowly boil, to be able to add eggs. Add eggs when boiling starts. Cover and let boil for another 10 - 15 min.
- While the boiling is going on, prepare the onions and precooked garlic (if that's what your using, this is the garlic in the pic) Chop or dice both very finely.
- This is the chopped onion.
- Once the boiling is finished. Drain the water off of the potatoes and eggs. Cool down easiest way possible…. for me I drain the hot water off and add cold water, then refrigerate while getting other ingredients together. If I'm in a hurry I do an ice bath, pull off the heat, drain, then add ice and cold, COLD water to it. Let it sit for a few min then begin the peeling process. This way the skins of the potatoes will peel straight off with your fingers, nothing else needed.
- Once potatoes are peeled, dice LARGELY!! Peel eggs and dice LARGELY, as well. When you mix everything it will come together great, so go BIGGER on cutting up the POTATOES N EGGS!! That's kinda the great thing about this recipe your cuts don't have to be perfect!! Go ahead and add garlic and seasoning (salt, pepper, creole, ect.) and stir it up!!
- Last step!! Mix it all together!!! Add the mustard, mayo, relish!! The longer you can let it sit, and marinate, it makes it better. I usually make mine the night before and that's the way my family likes it!!
