Sick-A-Saurus!

So I've found the answer to the question you've all been wondering: 

What is even worse than getting sick?

(minus death of course)

And I've figured out the answer is: 

Getting sick without your mother to take care of you!!!! 

Bad News Bears. :(

Now don't get me wrong, this is the third year I have moved out (in college) and no longer living at home. Being strong, motivated, independent (ha) 20 year old young adult I am, I would say I am pretty capable of handling and overcoming a little sniffle or cough. 

BUT for some reason, I got sick this week the busiest week of my life and missing mama hit hard. The whole time I wanted nothing more than to be home and being pampered with constant drinks, soups, and back rubs being handed out left and right. All I wanted was to wake up to mama bringing me a big bowl of Chicken Noodle O's to me in bed. 

All sickness aside, I somehow survived without mother dearest, so I guess there is hope for humanity right? 20  year olds being able to take care of themselves when they catch a cold haha I'm a baby..

I didn't have Chicken Noodle O's unfortunately, but I made this bangin' homemade chicken soup:

Chicken Quinoa and Kale

Being the foodie I am I used my amazing crock pot (best invention ever) and added:

• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 4+ cups kale (filled the crock pot)
• 1/2 chopped red onion
• 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa 
• 1 frozen chicken breast (at the top)
• Herbs/spices/whatever was in my spice cabinet

Turned that baby on low for about 4-5 hours and waited for the amazing immune boosting soup to be cooked. Once the chicken breast was cooked I took it out and shredded it with a fork and put the meat back in. 

I would definitely recommend this soup for those that are sick (with no noodle O's) and everyone else! It was really good and my boyfriend and roommate loved it too :) WIN

Other meals (for breakfast) this weekend included: 

scrambled eggs with cheddar, avocado and tomato on toast, and an orange for

 IMMUNE BOOSTING POWER

SWEET POTATO WAFFLES 

ohmygerdddddd so good

And thankfully, I'm feeling better! Hopefully I'll be 110% by the end of the week! 

Good luck to all those catching that dreadful winter bug and remember: 

you will get better, mama or not! (preferably with mama) ;D
