Not sure about you, but I&#8217;m over winter. In my part of the country, we spent January in sub-zero temps and February hasn&#8217;t jumped back to normal. It&#8217;s at this point in winter when all I crave is comfort food. <\/p>\n<p>Chicken pot pie is one of my favorite dishes. With a flaky, buttery crust and creamy filling, it&#8217;s so satisfying. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/mexicrave\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adriana Torres&#8217;<\/a> (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=El+Paso%2C+TX\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">El Paso, TX) <\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/bread\/muffins\/chicken-pot-pie-muffins.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chicken Pot Pie Muffins<\/a> are great because it&#8217;s everything you love about chicken pot pie, but in bite-size form.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I made individual chicken pot pies with every intention to eat a single serving,&#8221; shares Adriana. &#8220;However, after one taste of the delicious crumble topping, I couldn\u2019t resist having seconds.&#8221; I definitely went back for seconds&#8230; actually thirds.<\/p>\n<p>As a child, I adored grilled cheese sandwiches. Melted American cheese sandwiched between buttered white bread, oh my. Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face. As an adult, my taste buds may have become a bit more sophisticated, but my love for grilled cheese hasn&#8217;t changed. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/TwoForks4U\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rhonda E.&#8217;s<\/a> (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Juneau%2C+AK\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Juneau, AK<\/a>) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/appetizer\/cheese-appetizer\/the-utimate-grilled-cheese.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Ultimate Grilled Cheese<\/a> is a deliciously adult cheesy grilled cheese.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I got this idea from ingredients that go good in a salad and I just put them in a sandwich instead,&#8221; reveals Rhonda. This grilled cheese is something you would expect at a fancy deli. The garlic mayo packs a punch of flavor and crisps the bread up beautifully. The Gouda melts wonderfully and it pairs perfectly with the salty bacon, spinach, and softened onion. Every bite is a gooey bit of flavor!<\/p>\n<p>The more cheese you can fit in your mac and cheese, the better in my mind. True to form, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/Sammyj2489\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Samantha Jacobs&#8217;<\/a> (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Manchester%2C+NH\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester, NH<\/a>) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/main-course\/pasta\/ooey-gooey-mac-and-cheese-2.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ooey Gooey Mac and Cheese<\/a> is one stellar recipe. &#8220;This baked mac and cheese is so creamy and delicious,&#8221; shares Samantha. &#8220;There are never any leftovers when I make this dish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/niser68\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nicky Iser<\/a> (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Falling+Waters%2C+WV\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Falling Waters, WV<\/a>) has been making this recipe for years and thinks, &#8220;This is one of the best recipes on Just A Pinch. No matter how many times I have made it, I never ever make it the same way twice.&#8221; Get creative and switch up the cheese. Put it under the broiler, too, like Samantha suggests to get that crispy cheesy top.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This meatloaf is so full of flavor,&#8221; explains <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/BOseland\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barbara Oseland<\/a> (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Two+Harbors%2C+MN\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Two Harbors, MN<\/a>) of her <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/main-course\/beef\/bacon-wrapped-bbq-meatloaf-stuffed-with-cheese.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bacon Wrapped BBQ Meatloaf Stuffed with Cheese<\/a>. &#8220;It&#8217;s the perfect size for two people&#8230; plus leftovers for one more meal.&#8221; There are so many layers of goodness in this meatloaf and full of flavor. <\/p>\n<p>Really, anything wrapped in bacon is just on a whole other level. The cheese in the middle is an ooey, gooey surprise. Double the recipe if you&#8217;re serving more than two. After one bite I am not sure your family will ever want another meatloaf recipe again.<\/p>\n<p>Chocolate will cure any ailment, right?! One bite of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/thyme4dinner\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joan Penney&#8217;s<\/a> (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Platte+City%2C+MO\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Platte City, MO<\/a>) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/pie\/chocolate-pie-7.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chocolate Pie<\/a> will send your taste buds to their happy place. When describing the pie Joan says, &#8220;There is a rich buttery taste and a slight crunch to the top.&#8221; Oh, it&#8217;s so good!<\/p>\n<p>Not only was this super easy to make it was also super delicious. The top has a slight crunch and the inside is soft and creamy. Eat it with a dollop of whipped cream slightly warm or cold from the fridge. You can not go wrong with this lovely chocolate pie recipe.<\/p>\n<p>Comfort food makes me happy and will hopefully pull me through to spring (March 20th can&#8217;t get here soon enough!).
