September and October—two months that usher in the beautiful fall colors. But then there’s November. Brrrrr, it brings chilly temperatures, snow…and the cold-and-flu season. From the soft sniffles to the “I want to crawl back under the covers and sleep” aches and pains—there’s no telling how those flu bugs will hit. We’ve all been there, and we all treat illnesses in our own way.
In our family, we fight off our symptoms with a big pot of homemade chicken soup or a rib-sticking casserole. It always warms us up and makes us feel all better—or as close as we can get! Below are two of my family’s favorite recipes when we need to be pampered.
Chick-n-Rice Soup recipe is fast and easy! It can be ready in 30 minutes from start to finish. And Chicken Vegetable Casserole takes less than an hour to prepare and bake. Both are warm and delicious, two ingredients you need when you feel a little under the weather.
If you have a favorite cold-fighting recipe you’d like to share, please let me know. I hope not to need it, but I’d love to know about it…just in case!
