Comfort Food is Hot RN on Allrecipes

It cooled down in Seattle this week. Where we were sweltering in the 90s last week, we're now putting on our jackets for rainy 60-degree days. Is it time again to turn on the oven and tuck into a big plate of comfort food? From our nationwide data, signs point to yes.

Here's my look at which recipes home cooks across the nation liked best in the past week. Maybe you'll find something new to try - thousands of home cooks can't be wrong!
