Alas, my eyes are bigger than my tiny apartment kitchen so I usually stick to window-shopping and browsing. Doing a lot of oooh-ing and ahh-ing along the way.
Maybe I should get to the point. Today, because I love you all so much and I'm very thankful for your readership and when my blog makes money I like to give back. And because I'm guessing we could all use a little more sunshine in our lives during the month of March, I'm giving away a $25 gift card to Williams-Sonoma!
To enter, leave a comment below before Sunday, March 13 at 10 p.m., answering the following question:

Mac & Cheese!
Love Williams-Sonoma. Really, love any store where I can find kitchen gadgets that I must have (but don't really need!).
Comfort food? Grandma's goulash (which, I'm pretty sure is a made-up recipe!).
What a wonderful giveaway! Lucky lady! My ultimate comfort food is my Mamah's mashed potatoes and roast beef gravy (Sunday supper-style!) YUM!
My favorite comfort food is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white wonder bread :)
My favourite comfort food is ice cream. It always makes me feel good!
my comfort food- roasted tomato soup in a home made bread bowl
Oh my! Boy do I love Williams-Sonoma! My go-to food for comfort is potatoes. Anything potatoes, however, mashed potatoes are the best! From simply salted mashed potatoes when I have an upset tummy, to mashed potatoes with all the fixings when I'm just feeling plain blue, mashed potatoes somehow always cheer me up!
Thanks for writing such a wonderful blog! I love how simple and healthy your recipes are.
My parents did not cook much when I grew up, but I remember lots of hearty, simple pasta. Just pasta, cheese, sauce and graziano sausage!
Grilled cheese or mashed potatoes! Yum!
mac and cheese all the way. the best I've ever had was at The Cafe in Ames, but they took it off the menu before I could have it one last time pre-moving to St. Louis. gah. I must learn to replicate it.
I have never really gotten the concept of comfort food. I always wonder if its because I grew up with meat and potatoes parents while I was a vegetarian. So my alternative is a good warm cup of tea always makes me feel brand new.
A HUGE plate of my grandmother's spaghetti sauce on spaghetti noodles, topped with tons of mozzarella cheese.... mmmm Actually had this for dinner tonight :-)
Meat and potatoes
If bread, cheese, or butter is involved, it's comfort food for me. :)
Also, chinese food.
Anything with a ton of cheese or pasta will hit the spot!
Warm apple pie with ice cream on the side...brings so much comfort.
Great giveaway! My mom's wild rice soup is my ultimate comfort food!
I really like scrambled eggs or the typical chicken noodle soup

MMM...turkey and stuffing, I could eat it everyday and never tire of it! Madison, your blog is just lovely! I check it regularly and love all of your recipes...I am making the fluffer-nutter bars next week for a 90 year old woman I visit. She grew up on the sandwiches and I know will LOVE your recipe!
Hands down...a big scoop of craft smooth peanut butter on cinnamon raisin toast...its the spot EVERY time!
Chicken lasagna and mashed potatoes : )
That's so nice! Mine is straight up buttered French bread. Mmmmm.

Great contest Madison! Comfort food to me reminds me of Sunday dinner at my Grandma Wiechers - roast, potatoes, salad, rolls, and of course.....her homemade pies :)
I was really sick and not feeling great the other day and I went for pasta and pesto. Yummm! Not very typical, but sooo comforting :)
Home Made Turkey Soup is my ultimate comfort food!! Nothing better than a hot bowl to make everything yummy!!

Ultimate comfort food has to be mac & cheese for me.

Holy moly - so many entries!! I just stopped in WS last weekend, and you're right: tons of stuff I never knew I needed. Right now I really do need a nice sharp chef's knife. Anyway my ultimate comfort food has got to be chips and salsa. I could eat it all day every day.
Wish I was unique but I have to go with half of the other comments and say that mac and cheese is definitely my favorite!
I have a favorite comfort drink and food: Coffee (usually black) and dark chocolate.
I also love bread and water...

Chicken & Dumplings and Banana Pudding
Love Williams Sonoma
I LOVE William Sonoma
My ultimate comfort food would have to be my godmother's fabulous mashed potatoes ("Love Potatoes")!
No other comfort food can fill the space in my heart for fetuccini alfredo. So creamy, so rich, and so easy to make!
If I have no time - toast. Hot, white buttered toast.
If my mum is about - beef stew and dumplings (it takes her 3 days to make.)
Comfort food: Some sort of banana-peanut butter-chocolate combination - delectable!
I'm gonna have to go with either
a) Dark Chocolate and straight coffee
b) White Chocolate Raspberry Frozen Yogurt (blue bunny I believe)
I love this store! Comfort foods that always make me feel good are mashed potatoes and gravy and some macaroni and cheese.

For me, it will always be brown rice with mashed avocado and fresh squeezed lemon juice. It is truly the ultimate comfort food, eaten on the couch in front of a bad 80s movie rerun.
Great giveaway!
Who wouldn't love this giveaway!? Ultimate comfort food (summer)= homemade chicken salad and ultimate WINTER comfort food = Homemade mac and cheese. mmmm!

Mac and Cheese!
My first thought was mac and cheese but many others have said that so I will say...Grilled Cheese! :)
My ultimate comfort food is Meijer Kettle Cooked BBQ chips and coffee ice cream. Strange, but delicious :)
This is Jessica, and my favorite comfort food is German Shooten Kroffein and Fleisch Wurst. Also known as cottage cheese pockets and a sausage ring. Let me guess no one else on this blog has ever eaten this :)
It might sound weird, but oatmeal is so comforting to me:) I could eat it all day long...Anne
Ice cream!
What a great giveaway!! Pizza is my perfect comfort food!!
My comfort food is definitely potatoes, prepared to fit my mood- soup when I'm upset, smashed when I'm exhausted, scalloped with ham and cheese for a complete meal...nom nom!
My perfect comfort food is a slice of almost burnt toast with butter and peanut butter smeared on top. The scent of toast wafting through my small apartment takes me back home on weekend mornings at my parent's house. So simple, but so delicious.
Mashed potatoes is my go-to comfort food, always! My sweet husband even knows, if I'm home sick, he better bring home mashed potatoes from a deli or KFC or be ready to make me some!
