For the most part, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and must be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be really nutritious and good for you. There are some foods that, when you consume them, can better your mood. If you seem to be a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

Put together a trail mixfrom a variety of seeds and nuts. Your mood can be elevated by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is because these nuts are rich in magnesium, which helps to boost your production of serotonin.

Not only that but nuts, in particular, are a fantastic protein food source.

Cover pan with tight fitting lid to prevent film formation until sauce is to be used. Use on creamed and scalloped foods, sauces, gravies and in vegetable dips. Feel like adding something different to your fall repertoire? Start with kabocha squash, which is in many markets right now. Here, it's paired with ground chicken (ground turkey would work as well) and cooked in a sauce finished with a gluten-free potato starch slurry, which lends a silky thickness.
