When winter rolls around, it’s like the craving for comfort food isn’t very far behind. Whether it’s creamy soups, cheesy pasta, or deep dish pizza that tickles your fancy, there’s likely some lunchtime meal that pulls at your heartstrings and makes your mouth water a little more than others. And every once in a while, it’s okay to give in to those cravings! After all, if you’re making sure to eat healthy meals the majority of the time, straying from your regular diet is something that’s fine in moderation. So since it’s National Comfort Food Day (and a Friday!), there really isn’t a better excuse to indulge a little bit. If you’re looking for some delicious comfort foods to order in for lunch today, we’ve come up with our top five!

Chicken Tetrazzini
This is how the Italians make a delicious casserole and its creamy goodness is pretty tantalizing. Packed with chicken, almonds, mushrooms, and parmesan cheese, chicken tetrazzini throws a whole lot of down-home goodness at you in one big bite. The only problem? You’ll have a hard time saving any of it for later. It’s that yummy! If this is a meal you haven’t had in a while – or ever – it’s definitely one you should consider ordering for lunch delivery today!
Baked Potato Soup
The deliciousness that is baked potato soup will leave you clamoring for more. Not every version of this tasty treat is actually all that bad for you; it all depends on whether the restaurant makes their version with heavy cream or if they use chicken stock with the baked potato mashed in for thickness. Quite possibly the best part about this creamy lunchtime option are the toppings: sour cream, crumbled bacon, fresh cheddar, and chives are the common fixings of this meal that can only be described as an amazing indulgence for your taste buds.
Classic Fried Chicken
Is there really anything that screams comfort food more than a dish of fried chicken and mashed potatoes? One of our favorites, because it packs a wallop of protein, carbs, and dairy, you can almost pretend that a lunchtime meal like this is healthy – except for the fact that the chicken is fried. And that the potatoes are probably packed with butter. But for a once-in-a-while meal, it’s definitely one to savor.
Pot Roast
There’s just something about ordering pot roast that makes you feel like cuddling up next to a fire on a chilly winter day. And the nice thing about ordering a tasty dish of pot roast for your midday meal is that it’s one of the more healthy options you can select in the form of comfort food! Red meat, peppers, carrots, and potatoes create a mixture of protein, complex carbs, and rich nutrients that can lead you to a more productive afternoon than some of the other comfort food options out there. And that makes this dish a great choice for National Comfort Food Day – or really, any day when you’re craving a filling lunch.
Lasagna
The classic Italian comfort food, lasagna is an American favorite for National Comfort Food Day. Between the layers of tasty pasta, fresh red sauce, and combination of cheeses, sometimes there’s nothing better than a big plate of cheesy goodness in the form of a slice of lasagna. While it’s not a meal you should choose every single week for your lunch delivery order, it’s a great way to cure your comfort food craving every once in a while.
Everything in Moderation
We realize that we’re preaching this old saying a lot, but there’s never been a time when it’s more true than on National Comfort Food Day: choosing healthy options the majority of the time means you can, every once in a while, open up your diet to something that’s on the less healthy side when you’re craving it.
