Sports commentator Erin Andrews has revealed a personal connection to McDonald’s, which played a significant role during her challenging times. After her diagnosis of cervical cancer in 2016, Andrews found solace in the fast food chain’s Sausage Biscuit and Hash Browns.
Comfort Food During Tough Times
With a McDonald’s conveniently located next to her fertility office, Andrews often ordered her favorite breakfast combo. She disclosed that the meal provided enough comfort to “make the bad news better.” Additionally, she enjoyed the 10-piece Chicken McNuggets with sweet and sour sauce after visits to the cancer center. Although she recognized that it wasn’t a healthy choice, it offered her the reassurance she needed during difficult moments.
Finding Healthier Alternatives
Despite her affection for McDonald’s, Andrews also has a nutritious comfort food option she prepares at home: pasta primavera. This dish, rich in vegetables like zucchini, squash, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and garlic, reflects a healthier lifestyle choice. Andrews learned to make it from her father and now enjoys sharing it with her family.

Andrews strives to include more vegetables and lean proteins while allowing for occasional comfort foods, proving that both enjoyment and wellness can coexist.
