What Is One Of Your Favorite Comfort Foods When You Are.....

My favorite comfort food when I'm sick is champorado, rice cooked with chocolate. Then I put evaporated milk and little sugar. I like eating it especially on rainy days.

I think the best thing you can eat when you´re feeling sick is a homemade chicken soup, that contains enough nutrients to relief the symptons of every regular discomfort in your health, and then drink a lot of fluids, preferably water and orange juice, in that order, echinacea is good but that only works BEFORE you get sick, when you´re having the symptons, good luck and have a healthy life.

Hi!

Whenever I'm down I always drink milk. It really helps me to relax. During my undergraduate days whenever we use chemicals I always sneak to the cafeteria to grab chilled fresh milks:). It helps me survive the suffocating atmosphere of chemicals. When I'm sad I drink warm milk it really helps. It does not only calm me but helps me to sleep comfortably. After that I always get a fresher perspective of things.Milkshakes are also good for me when I'm in resto's.Yum!yum!

I don't like anything canned, although Campbell's is one of my favorite brands. I love their cream of mushroom soup. Anyway, my mom makes me congee using soup stock and sometimes she adds meat flakes and egg inside. It's what I only eat when I am sick. Which is why when I am not sick, I don't want to eat it. It'll only remind me of my sick days, haha! Lot of tea is also good when I'm not feeling so well.

This is going to sound weird, but when I feel sick, I alwayws want fried potatoes and fried chicken. Seeing as this is not healthy, I haven't had that in years. But boy do I want it when I'm sick. I really wish I had healthy cravings. Although usually, if I have had the throw up kind of flu, I always want oranges.

Hi Pye Honey: Sorry to hear you've been under the weather I think a lot of us are;
I've felt like crap myself all week long this nasty cold weather is just killing me pain wise;

For me when I am sickly with a cold, flu or that dreadful Bronchitis I always
always alwasy fix a baked Chicken I either just eat the plain hot broth from the chicken or fix one of my most favorite of comfy foods to eat when I am sick is
our home made dumplings, YUM YUM YUMMY!! You can find the recipe on my blog and I think I Have it on one of my EHOW recipes too??

Now that to me is great comfy food, those home made dumplings just slide down the raw sore throat and the baked chicken is easy to eat and digest when you are sick;

all of that can be easily made within like 2 hours - 2 1/2 hrs, very simple to do;


I could eat some now if I had it;

I never have liked processed foods and even when I was a kid we rarely ever ate
Campbell's soup as we always had fresh made from scratch types of food and I've bought a can or two over the years thinking well maybe I can eat it now, and I honestly just hate the stuff, I can't stand the smell of it and I'd much rather always bake my own chicken and have the " REAL BROTH"

yOU KNOW? I just hate processed anything, that's what happens when you grow up
out in the country and we had our own meats, garden, and we all cooked, and baked and I'll still be this way until I just can't do it any longer God Forbid (G)!


Get better Soon Pye!!!

When i am sick i always prefer to eat porridge which is light to digest and easy to prepare.
The other thing i like is chicken clear soup with lot of salt in it.

It's very unfortunate to be sick these days. Anyway, when I'm sick, I like to eat cold and sweet foods although I am not permitted sometimes. Those variety of food just makes my world feel at ease and somehow forget that I'm actually sick and worried.

May I have three faves please Pye? Tomato soup (must be Heinz) is just wonderful for those days when you don't feel so well and you just one to curl up with the blankets over your head (not while your drinking the soup) or watch TV or better still read. Then whn you still feel low, but prhaps a tad better, bring on the boiled egg(s) and toast soldiers. Heaven. Last but by no means least - Ice Cream! Plain old vanilla hits the spot for me. Almost makes me want to be ill! LOL. Perhaps I'll just pretend.

Yes I agree about the Chicken Noodle Soup but I like the real cheap kind (store brand) just as well if not better. It helps to add alittle hot sauce to it or crushed red pepper. It helps with your breathing. Concerning the salt just consider you are probably not eating much of anything else so don't worry too much about it just be sure to drink MORE fluids to flush that out. If I have a sore throat for me its tomatoe soup and that one has to be Campbells as I have tried several store brands and they do not hold a candle to Campbells. Get well
