Comfort foods are, well, comforting

Comfort foods do affect your mood and emotions, says research published in Psychological Science. Seems that many of us associate that meat loaf/mac & cheese/mashed potatoes with close friends and family, so eating (or in the case of the study, writing about) these foods makes us think of these loved ones.

So the next time you’re feeling alone? Break out the apron and whip up some mac and cheese.
