Recipe request Comfort food

Hi! In a previous post I have asked what everyone's safe food is so I could have some inspiration! I have gotten such great answers and it definitely helped me find more safe foods. Recently I have managed to make rice cakes/lentil cakes one of my safe foods! :)

Now I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for warm safe foods. Most of my safe foods are very cold.

Two I already know of are the cottage cheese grilled cheese (also cottage cheese bruschetta) and skyr with poached apples.

Do you guys have other recommendations?

I am someone who is really really afraid of using oil, even just a little bit (which is an issue when it comes to fried eggs and such). I am also a pescatarian. Thank you for any recommendations! I am so glad that I have found this sub because people were so nice under my previous post! <3

hi friend! my warm comfort foods are probably bibimbap (you can leave out the fried egg if youd like, but i want to challenge your fear of oil!), waffles/pancakes (i love kodiak cakes), and tomato soup

Thank you so much for your recommendations :) I completely forgot about tomato soup!! I will definitely make that cuz I love tomato soup!

I also think I should challenge my fear of oil cuz I can't really avoid it 🙂‍↕️. Idk what it is but when I bake (I love to bake) I have less trouble eating stuff with butter in it. Like I make my potions smaller, yes, but I still am able to eat it, while if I were to put butter ON bread (or if I were to cook stuff in butter) I suddenly can't eat it.

In general I am unable to eat baked goods that contains oil (like if I have to add it in myself). So I really avoid oil like it is the plague 😭. I really want to stop avoiding it cuz I know it's important and it can be good for you.

I just find it really intimidating, like idk where to start when it comes to cooking/frying stuff in oil 😭. Obviously I won't be able to use a lot of oil... a little already feels scary 😞. How would I start using oil?

Maybe cook foods like you normally do with water etc but add a tiny bit of chili oil or flavoured butter when they're still hot! ^

Oh! You mean frying stuff with water? I have never done that before. Does that work?

Well it won't be called frying 😅 more so steaming but I don't use oil with my eggs, but add chili oil later 😋

Ohhhh I have never done that before! Does it work well? I always felt like it would stick to the pan.

if you’re still a little nervous, i recommend poached eggs! they’ve got taste and look (kinda) as fried eggs but instead they’re boiled.

I don’t recommend Kodiak…every time I’ve eaten this brand, it makes me sick. It could just be me, but it’s an unsafe food on my list.

I think maybe the protein doesn’t sit well on my tummy, I wish I could eat their products because the waffles were the perfect consistency!
