I knew it. I just knew this would happen.
I’m sick. Again.
Congested head and nose, scratchy throat, annoying cough and low energy.
Let’s hope I can kick this out of my system before we leave for our trip on Sunday!
Any thoughts on quick remedies? Help!
Some of you may dismiss the whole “feed a cold, starve the flu” thing as folklore, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to fill my belly with a hearty breakfast this morning.
Starting with two scrambled eggs.
Topped with fresh scallions from Bella Bean and a dash of salt & pepper.
I ended up adding a splash of tabasco as well. What? I thought it would help clear my congestion! :)
In addition to the eggs, I also make 1/2 cup of oats.
In the mix was:
- 1 cup 1% milk
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Strawberries
- Roasted pecans
These totally hit the spot! 
The roasted pecans were from our friends sister. We have a whole tub!
Methinks I may need to make some pecan butter?
Whether or not “feed a cold” is a myth, I need to keep my nutrient levels up while my sickness runs its course.
Even though I wasn’t hungry for lunch and really just wanted to take a nap, I had half of a Kashi pizza that had spinach and mushrooms on it. Only I accidentally deleted the photos from my camera! My memory card was full.
Sorry!
I can show you another time, k? ;)
So do you guys think that “feed a cold, starve the flu” is an old wives tale? What would the rationale be behind it?
