But it's definitely during the fall that our craving for a big plate of comfort strikes most frequently. Maybe it's because we're sad that summer's over.

To help you out with this increasing demand, we rounded up our 20 favorite comfort food recipes -- all of them easy to make. Because that's what comfort is all about. Folks, you are welcome.
