So Miss Greta woke up with a bit of a snuffly nose this morning but she never stays sick for long. She is actually already on the upswing running around the house hyper as usual. The longest I have ever seen her ill was about 2 1/2 days. I can count on one hand the number of times she's been under the weather. When sickness hits we start the morning on the couch, me giving her cups of water after water, then we eat Sick Greta Soup and by afternoon she is already back to normal Greta. This may change since we have entered the realm of pre-school germs but I hope it doesn't. I made this soup for Greta the first time she was sick at age one. She has always liked it. I am posting my sad recipe for Sick Greta Soup so next time I know where to find it..... besides the groggy cobwebbed corners of my brain. P.S. Mom & Dad you sound like you need this too. Get Well Soon!
My Sad Recipe For Sick Greta Soup
Take a large soup pot. Fill half the pot full of half water & half low sodium chicken stock. Add 3 diced carrots, 3 diced red potatoes. Boil. Then add egg noodles and boil for about 8 minutes. Then I add Herbs De Provence to taste (thats not very much in our house). Then add frozen peas and corn. Let simmer for a few minutes.
At some point today I need to make Flan for 16 people for a party tomorrow. The dessert needs to be wheat/flour free so Flan was suggested. I hope it comes out Flan-tastic...I know, I know.

I find it amazing that you cook now! Of course, 10 years does a lot of things to people but I remember a call at work with someone I know asking if you can substitute anything for eggs when making brownies... I belive my response was, "Um, yes... egg substitute but you'll still have to go to the store to get it."
Honestly I think it's great! I've learned a lot more besides my mother's recipes in the last 10 years and actually enjoy planning out a menu each week and then seeing if I can keep under $100 for the entire week's worth of food. What has motherhood done to us???
Oh... And great recipe. Simple is high on my list of favorites!
That sounds like something "college Raylene" would have done. Heavens knows what I ended up putting in those brownies. I am sure they were disgusting and I ate them anyway along with a half frozen totinos pizza and a handful of peanuts.
