It's been all about the comfort foods around here lately. This yellow cake was made from a box mix, and the frosting was storebought as well. I generally prefer to make my cakes from scratch, but I'm not above accepting a little help from Betty Crocker now and then.
I find chicken and dumplings to be the epitome of comfort food. I know I found great comfort from the steaming bowl of them I ate for dinner this evening. I had some pre-cooked chicken breasts in the freezer. I boiled some canned chicken broth, water and Minor's, and quickly made dumpling dough from a storebought baking mix. It was a quick fix, but very satisfying.
Here are a few links to some holiday projects and recipes I thought you might enjoy.

But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.

Your cake looks so good. At first I thought it was a giant donut. Either way, I could eat the whole thing!
I'm off to check out that advent calendar. I've always wanted one but its not in the budget. Maybe I'll make one.
Wishing you a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving,

Yummo! I want the Chicken and Dumplings...looks fabulous. Today was are making our impossible pumpkin pies in school, so I'll have the folder out of the drawer...didn't you ask about the recipe? I'll try to get it posted here soon.
...and thanks for the nice comments on my blog...
Everything looks so yummy!
Thanks for all the links. There are some great idea's out there. Now all I need is a few more extra hours per day! LOL!
Mmmm - two great things. I always go to my Grandmother chicken dumpling soup recipe when I need some comfort food. It's become Primogeniture's favorite "staying home sick food". : D
I haven't had chicken and dumplings in AGES , and yours looks soooo good.
Rice pudding or pumpkin pie are my ultimate comfort foods.
That cake looks amazing! I want some!
Thanks for reminding me about chicken and dumplings. I haven't made those in a couple of years. We have some cold weather coming up for the weekend and they will a perfect dinner then--with turkey, of course!
I've been eating low-fat so long, I can't even remember what true comfort food tastes like. I think right now anything fried would taste heavenly.
2 of my favorites-chocolate cake and chicken and dumplings!
Oh, my goodness! You just planned my dinner this evening. I haven't made chicken and dumplings for ages, and your looks soooo good!
Ditto the giant donut . . . :-)
That delicious looking cake is making me crave a big chocolate donut :)>
You guys are right, it does look like a big chocolate donut. I didn't realize it when I first posted it, but of course, I knew it was a cake.
Thanks heaps, guys, now I'm craving a chocolate donut! ;-Þ
Yumm, I wanna run my finger right through that frosting!
I love the peppermint star ornaments. Thanks for the links.
Oh Lawdy- why are you doing this to me, Renna? You know I want to blink my eyes and be there!
