In general, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and need to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this is true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be very nutritious and good for us to eat. There are some foods that really can improve your moods when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all helpful for elevating your mood. This is possible as these foods are rich in magnesium which promotes serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The higher your serotonin levels, the more pleasant you will feel. Nuts, along with raising your mood, can be a superb source of protein.

As you can see, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try some of these instead!

The ingredients needed to cook Cara's Turkey & gravy:
  1. Get 2-3 cups shredded, cooked turkey
  2. Get 1/2 C chopped carrots
  3. Take 1/2 C chopped celery
  4. You need For Gravy:
  5. Provide 1/2 stick butter (1/4c)
  6. Take 1/2 C flour
  7. Get 4 C water (plus a little extra in case)
  8. Use 2 pks or cubes chicken bullion
  9. Prepare OR 4 Cups Chicken/ Turkey broth- then omit water& seasoning
Steps to make Cara's Turkey & gravy:
  1. Chop veggies, if you choose to add them.* This step can be skipped if you prefer just meat & gravy.* These need to be boiled in a large pot. Everything will go in this pot, eventually.
  2. While veggies boil, shredded the turkey into bite size or desirable pieces. I used wings, legs & breast to have a mixture. I kept checking the veggies with a fork. You don't want them too mushy. I lightly seasoned the turkey.
  3. Once the veggies seem easy to puncture, remove from pot. Add the butter & flour, on medium-high heat stirring frequently
  4. After 5-7min of stirring & letting the flour cook, add water/seasoning OR broth. Continue stirring to make sure there aren't any lumps. The heat can be lowered to medium once it thickens. Add veggies & cook about 10min
  5. Lastly, add turkey. Stir & fold in well. This will need to cook about 15-20min. During this time you can decide if more seasonings are needed, more water or whatever. For a side, obviously I made rice, but potatoes or stuffing would be delicious as well! Enjoy!
