It’s back-to-school season for the kids and grandkids, and you know what that means -- more exposure to more sickness, plus new schedules and routines that can stress the immune system. It all adds up to bigger potential for sniffles, colds, sore throats, and the general blahs.
What’s a conscientious caregiver and/or cold sufferer to do?
Read on for a few ideas. . . .
Because Sometimes, You Just Need Comfort Food!
Have you ever been so sick and miserable that you just need some good comfort food . . . regardless of its health benefits?
Have you ever wished you could take that comfort food and make it just a little bit healthier for you?
If you’ve been there (or you’re there right now!), be sure to check out TGN Trailblazer Scott Sexton’s article on making herbal ice cream.
In it, he offers recipes for elderberry and elder flower ice creams, plus plenty of additional ideas for incorporating other medicinal herbs into this frozen treat.
(Scott was going to post a photo of the elder flower ice cream with the article, but he said it was so delicious that his family mowed through it before he could get the picture taken! :-)
