The best comfort meal (not cheat meal)

So thanks to Corona Virus both my jobs are closed for 3-5 weeks and my boyfriend’s school is closed for 2-5 weeks.

So back home we came for a few weeks and its all rainy and gloomy here so we wanted comfort meals. But still wanted to stay healthy so we have this!
