My 7 year old has had a terrible cough for a few days. I'm pretty sure it is allergies, but it could be a cold. Who knows. She has no fever, is not wheezing and seems pretty much the same as usual except an annoying cough. She was up most of the night the other night and this morning she couldn't even eat breakfast because of coughing. Needless to say I decided to keep her home and maybe call the Dr. I gave her some over the counter cold medicine and went about my morning. It was about 30 minutes latter that my sick child was not only feeling much better, but wanted to play outside. It was a miraculous recovery. She has been fine the rest of the day, playing and hardly coughing at all.
My older two children used to have the same miracle recoveries. I have even taken my oldest to the Dr because she was so sick she couldn't even hold her head up, only to get to the Dr's office and she's running full speed ahead like she was never sick.
Anyways, I hope me and my husband don't get what ever the 7 year old had because we all know that adults don't have the same ability to recover so quickly.
Today's recipe is Chicken and noodles: my kids always love it.
1 store bought rotisserie chicken (boned)
6 -7 cups of chicken stock/broth
1 onion diced
3 carrots sliced
3 stalks celery chopped
1 TBL spoon thyme
1 -2 cloves crushed garlic
2 TBL spoons olive oil
1 can cream of celery or chicken soup
1 8oz bag of wide egg noodles
In a large stock pot heat oil on med heat and saute carrots, onion, and celery until just softened, then add garlic and saute for about a minute. add chicken, thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Then add stock and bring to boil. Add noodles and cook for about 1 minute less than package says. Turn the heat off and add the cream of soup. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. The left overs are great!!
