This February, as winter and the global pandemic alike drag on and on and on, why not enjoy some good old fashioned comfort food?

In this installment of Erin’s Recipe Card, the ladies share their favorite recipes for “hot fat carbs,” from savory red beans and rice, to crowd-pleasing meat loaf, to “ooey-gooey” peanut chicken curry—and beyond. Whether your comfort food of choice is lasagna or stew, cookies, pizza, or even coffee, you’re sure to end this tasty episode feeling hungry and inspired.

“When we feel like we need a little hug in our bellies,” Sarah so aptly says, “we eat something that we love.”
