Comfort food at The Porch

After a scorching summer, it's not surprising that our Texas winter has been especially warm.

Fortunately, wintry comfort food staples still hold their appeal despite the less than wintry weather.

A lower Greenville favorite The Porch serves up a delicious version of macaroni and cheese that will satisfy all of your comfort cravings.

The dish is comprised of traditional elbow macaroni pasta, a rich blend of cheddar and parmesan cheese and cubes of smoked ham.

Topping it all off is a thin and crispy bread-crumb crust and a sprinkle of chives.

Though listed on the menu as a side-dish, don't be misled.

The Porch serves a decent portion size, so unless you're making a meal of the mac and cheese, the plate is large enough to share.

Mac and cheese isn't the only comfort food offered at The Porch.

Other choices include a three grilled cheese sandwich, turkey chili and a roasted tomato soup.

The prices are a little steep, but the portions are reasonable and full of flavor.

If you're not on too much of a budget, The Porch is a great choice for a twist on your favorite comfort foods.
