I’ve been sick all day today and so has Kepa. We stayed home together and just spent the day trying to get better/feel better. Apparently a lot of us feeling better is eating stuff we like. So that’s what we did. Healthy in the healthy food sense? Not really. Healthy in the made us feel more comfortable and happy despite being sick? Yes. But in general it was way too much food for me which I excused by being sick. Does anyone else ever do that?
For breakfast I had two eggs scrambled with this ketchupy sauce and half a banana with almond butter:
Nachos with chicken (these were really good):
A small bowl of weet-bix the way Kepa likes to eat it:
A fish pita pocket for dinner:
And an extra piece of fish with lettuce, mong bean sprouts, and tartar sauce:
We also ate some salsa Doritos.
Then later on we had a total comfort food: brownies.
I put a thin layer of peanut butter in between brownie pieces and heated it up.
I’ve taken way too much Vitamin C and cold and cough medicine today. I’m starting to feel better (I think) but I’m bummed that I didn’t get to go to the zoo today on a field trip from Kepa’s mom’s school. Oh well, I’m going next time!
Now I’m off to take some drowsy cold medicine and hopefully get a restful night of sleep tonight!
What do you like to eat when you are sick? I tend to go toward the same foods that I like when I emotionally eat (guess it is a form of emotional eating) like brownies and nachos. ;)

I eat toast, bananas and eggs when sick. And I drink tons of tea. Just stuff Momma gave me as a kid that I still eat.
No, when I feel yucky sick I don’t really want to eat. Ive been hovering on the edge of a cold for over a week, and I’ve eaten chicken lemon coconut milk soup from the thai place and it’s helped. More interesting than regular chicken soup. It doesn’t look like you ate a lot though. I guess usually, when I’m not by myself, when I’m sick I eat the same stuff I eat when I’m not, plus more tea, which I tend to have a lot anyway. And oj or green juice, or once in a while my roomie makes me oj with honey and banana all blended in – very good! If im by myself and sick and not pestered by roomie, I’ll eat just tea and toast when im sick, or as little as possible..but he gets worried when I don’t eat.
I like to be warm when I got a cold, soups are usually on the menu.
Chicken with Nacho’s, I’ve never heard of that!
