While it probably doesnt rank with home and family, for service members stationed abroad, favorite foods properly prepared are sorely missed. When my father was stationed in Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War, he longed for crispy bacon, and food that didnt need hot sauce to be palatable. In honor of Veterans Day, here are 10 delicious and comforting foods for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert to make the veteran in your life even happier to be home. These are mostly old favorites, because in the end what makes a home-cooked meal something you dream of isnt that its complicated, its that its home-cooked.
Whole Wheat Blueberry PancakesThese classic pancakes are made with wholesome whole wheat and plump, juicy blueberries. Add bacon or sausage and eggs for a seriously hearty breakfast.

Salted Caramel BlondiesThe only thing better than a gooey blondie just out of the oven is a caramel-drizzled gooey blondie just out of the oven.
