Chicken & Dumpling Soup and Grape Popsicles
I'm happy to report that today I'm starting to feel a little better. I still have a mean cough and feel congested, but far better than I was a few days ago. I actually felt like trying a full day with solid food. No more soup! After all, there is only so much soup a grown woman can have! And add grape popsicles to that list while you're at it!
When I first became sick, my next door neighbor, Phyllis made me the most delicious chicken and dumpling soup. It was warm, delicious, made from scratch and I could taste the kindness in every bite. Since then I've eaten hot & sour soup, miso soup, chicken noodle soup, beef and barley soup and vegetable soup. Let me tell you, I am all souped out people!!! I'm craving fresh baked bread and other warm carbs that I feel are contingent to becoming healthy again. Also, grape popsicles aren't exactly "doing it" for me anymore either. I love em, but it's time to leave em.
What am I ready for? I'll tell you! I'm definitely ready to revisit Yogurt Planet. The one in Bee Caves(a small town near Austin) is my absolute favorite. It's fabulosity times ten in a cup. I mix strawberry, mango, acai berry and pomegranate all together for a sin-free, party in my mouth. Ahhh. I can't wait until my throat stops hurting so I can properly freeze myself into yogurt bliss heaven.
Tomorrow I plan to ditch my tired old pj's for my comfy jeans and cute tops! Being sick is not my style and I miss the outside world way too much. Oh & the only habits I plan on keeping from this sick routine are taking vitamins and drinking pomegranate lemonade on the regular. I'm at the age where I need to be taking vitamins anyway(sigh) and I love all things pomegranate. Plus, doesn't it just sound like the healthy thing to do?
