What Is One Of Your Favorite Comfort Foods When You Are.....  |
|
 .......Sick? Feeling like do-do ca-ca poo-poo? For about a week now I just haven't been feeling too keen...uh, to put it mildly. I've been having one of my bouts of bronchitis again...not too severe but still making me feel lousy. My energy level has been zip, can't think, having serious brain fog. As soon as I started feeling lousy and getting that twinge of bronchitis I started taking a bit more of that herb Echinacea, more Vit-C and dosing myself with garlic pills since garlic is a natural antibiotic. I still haven't gone to my docs since I have to practically be at death's door before going to one....LOL....also have that same attitude my great-grandmother had who was a nurse and thought all docs as idiots, never took anything stronger than aspirin in her life, was into natural remedies and lived to be 98
But I have noticed something when I'm sick....now yes, I'm a good cook, love cooking and can make a lot of great homemade soups...and do while I'm sick...but what do I long for and eat a lot of while sick? My favorite comfort food..what is it you ask? Good old Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup---I could eat this by the gallon ...Yes, it's a "processed" canned food, loaded with salt, salt, salt, and yes it has MSG (mono sodium glutamate)..but I love it...this is definitely my comfort food when I'm sick...perhaps memories of my childhood as that's what I would have when I was sick as a kid.
So when you're sick...what is YOUR comfort food? Even if it's something that may not exactly be the healthiest for you like a processed food rather than a homemade one. Do you turn to good old Campbell's soup too? Doesn't have to be the Chicken Noodle kind either, but do you?
Just what is it about that Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup anyway? Mmmm...mmm...good...mmmm..mmmm...good

| 62. thebeaddoodler (2768) | 11 months ago |  When I'm sick I just want something I can drink, but it needs to be salty. I used to just make chicken bullion soup because the salt seemed to be what I wanted. Chicken noodle soup is good too. When I'm really sick I want nothing. Especially when I have bronchitis.
Add some hot red pepper and garlic to your chicken noodle soup. If you have bronchitis often get some fenugreek seeds and make a tea of them. If you don't like that straight, then put the juice from half a lemon and some honey in it. Keep up the echinacea and vitamin C through the winter. Hope you feel better soon.

| 63. 4ofmyown (676) | 11 months ago | There are only 2 things that I want when I am sick and it is the same 2 things that my Mom gave all of us when we were kids.....Campbell's Chicken and Stars soup and Vernors Ginger Ale. Now as soon as any of my kids start to not feel good those are first things they ask for. | |

| 64. patweber (77) | 11 months ago |  Chicken soup works for my husband. What works for both of us is pasta of some sort. I think it has to do with the carbs. Our favorite comfort combo is chili with rice topped with cheese. Oh it is so good. Now, I'm hungry for it!

| 65. bamiofar (49) | 11 months ago |  You have a lot of responses here so I doubt anyone will read this. But I'll tell ya, When I'm hungover I need greezy food, when I'm sick it's the same as you, soup. But every morning I have a bowl of chili for breakfast. That's Staghorn Laredo flavor. mmmmmmm yummy! followed by a banana and a big glass of orange juice.
The best way to start the day
:?)

67.  candymarie (625) | 11 months ago |  I'm the same way with Mr Noodles, beef or chicken, doesn't matter to me! Make some of that, with 2 pieces of buttered bread, and I am HAPPY!
Another comfort food is hot chocolate and cinnamon toast combo, and a peanut butter and jelly toast sandwich for another. MMMM!

| candymarie (625) | 11 months ago | yeah....unfortunately....after FINALLY getting to see the dentist hard to do when you were previously a temp, so almost a different schedule every day, which is not good for doctor appointments, and unfortunately my job came first in those terms, because once my temp company finds out that I need a day off for a 2 week assignment, well the company is no longer interested in me. SO, back to the dentist...I have 7, 7! small cavities that thankfully will be all filled by the end of next month.
I'm just glad that they haven't caused much pain. | |
