It has been a WEEK, am I right? One weeks like this, once Friday rolls around the only thing I want to do is curl up on the couch, get cozy, and enjoy some comfort food (and maybe a glass of wine while I’m at it).

That’s why today I’ve rounded up ten of my favorite comfort food recipes that are perfect for shutting the chaos of the world out and having a calm night at home.
