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

72.  Carolyn63 (714) | 11 months ago |  Might I suggest some Elderberry for that bronchitis? I admit, what your taking is great but to get that mess out of your lungs the elderberry would sure help.
As far as the comfort food, how about some chicken and dumplings? I've done went and got hungry just thinking about it. Sure would warm me up too. I think I will have some for lunch tomorrow, mmmm. I like chicken noodle soup too.
Hope you feel better real soon.

I try not to overeat when I'm ill though, as I think it tends to make you feel worse in the long run. I try to drink water and eat fruit to help my body fight off the illness.
I can't be bothered making any food that takes a while to cook when I'm not feeling too well though.

| 75. sandymay48 (1128) | 11 months ago | OK I admit it...Campbells soup it is!!...Not chicken noodle mind you but Cream of Mushroom made with milk and stuffed full of crackers..I dont know why so many crackers. It kinda takes away from the "soup" part but its what I crave when I dont feel well and even while I do!! | |

| 78. idowrite72 (1586) | 11 months ago |  I suppose this isn't really a food, but what I like is to drink a lot of hot tea. It seems that when I am not feeling well, I like to drink hot tea and will drink cup after cup after cup and get angry at myself because often I let it get cold, but I will drink it anyway. I drink very weak tea, so I can use the same tea bag for at least 2 cups, sometimes 3, and I like flavored bags, but any of it is good. I usually put creamer in it, too.

| 79. sharra1 (3028) | 11 months ago |  Well I love all soups and steak. Freshly baked bread is lovely as well. But my all time comfort food is hot chocolate. When I am sick or depressed or just feeling down or for anything really hot chocolate lifts my spirits.
My favourite soup is potato and leek or potato and bacon. I just love them both. There are lots of lovely soups around and I have been crazy for soup since I was a child.

| sharra1 (3028) | 11 months ago | I do hope you get better soon. I had a bout of that last winter and it knocked me out for months. I have chronic fatigue syndrome and any illness steals what little energy I have these days. | |

80.  olivebranch56 (676) | 11 months ago |  My comfort food is good old Campbell's cream of tomato, also good for you because of the anti-oxidents from the tomatos. Another favorite of mine, Jello, cherry, strawberry, and mixed with fruit. If I am running a fever I have to stay away from the cream of anything, so then I will sometimes have beef broth, but can still have the Jello. You know, there is always room for Jello! Blessings, Marilyn
