Five Comfort Food Recipes That Aren’t Casseroles

From warm velvety textures to bright zingy flavours to hearty and meaty, comfort food comes in many forms. You might already know that casseroles have a special place in our hearts here at Ocean’s but there are so many other options out there. Whatever your favourite comfort food, you probably can’t deny its almost magical ability to turn even the toughest of days around. It’s also safe to admit that when you’re looking for comfort, you’re not looking for a light, fresh salad. But can comfort be healthy and nutritious? We think so! Adding lean protein and veggies is just one way you can get essential nutrients from your favourite comfort foods. Need some inspiration to get you started? Try one of our favourite recipes (that aren’t casseroles)… Actually, we recommend you try them all!
