Lemon Tea

I don't know if it's is allergies or a cold, but I'm experiencing a bit of a runny nose/soar throat right now and, needless to say, I'm not particularly enjoying it.

But there are some good things about being sick.

If you're extremely sick (at the moment I'm not), you get to stay home and sleep in!

And no matter how sick you are, you can always drink Lemon Tea!!

That's my favorite soar throat remedy right now.
Lemon tea is so simple to make:
Hot water + fresh lemon juice + a spoonful of raw honey. 
And it's so warm and soothing. 
The steam is good for the sinuses and the lemon/honey soothes a soar throat.
True, it's not permanently soothing.  Which is why you might end up drinking cup after cup of "lemon tea".  But extra fluids can't hurt when your body is fighting a virus/cold/flu.
Just don't overdo it on the honey if you're gonna drink a bunch of tea.

So what else have I been up to?

Well a lot of things.

Hemming and hawing.  Planning.  Spending time with extended fam :)

Working.  Walking.  Staying up too late.

And as always, a little bit of cooking/microwaving... hehe.

Microwave Single Serving Brownie 

(Picture taken before microwaving).

This brownie was chocolate-y and delicious.

 

 

 Mexican Chip Dip

1 can Refried beans, (1 cup-ish) sour cream+taco seasoning, 1 can tomatoes with green chiles, and some shredded cheddar cheese.

Yummmmmmmmy.

 

 

 Microwave English Muffin pizza.

This was disgusting. 

I think that some things are worth taking the time to bake and follow a recipe, and it would seem pizza falls under this category. :P

 

 

 

Well, that's what I've been up to.

 

How about you?

 

Hope you are having a superb summer. 

 

Enjoy what's left of it, don't get sick, and if you do catch a cold- DRINK LEMON TEA! :]

 

¡Que le vaya bien!
