Camomile Ginger Tea For My Tummy

I went to the store today to get this. Um, yeah, I got Jay's stomach bug. It's not that it is a bad one, but it is enough to make you feel off. Camomile tea with fresh ginger totally hits the spot to soothe the belly. 


I got up at 5:50am to work out and get Max to school early. Then had enough time to vacuum before I took Jay to school. I felt like I was getting all this stuff done and then...I hit a wall. Seriously, it was only 9am! Oh well, at least my appetite is not gone. So, I am filling it like crazy!


HEAB mentioned carrots first thing this morning, so I had to have carrots today. Does that happen to you? Someone mention something to eat and then you have to have it. Yes, I did put hot sauce on my spinach carrot salad while I had a sour stomach. Don't judge, I like the flavor and this one is not really that hot or my taste buds can just take it...either way, it was delicious!


I had the heal of the bread I made Monday all toasted up like a big crouton.


Then HEAB emailed me and mentioned this...I had to make! My version is peanut butter with a schmear of chocolate peanut butter (more on that soon), a drizzle of warm peanut butter and chocolate chips! I will share more details tomorrow. This was such a treat, but good for you!


While this has nothing to do with anything I just posted about...run don't walk and get quinoa flour.  I love this stuff! If you like the flavor of quinoa, you will love this too! I made my savory waffles with it tonight (instead of garbanzo fava) and I used it yesterday in a recipe I am developing for a client...what a great product!

Ok, now, I am off to chill out in some comfy pants and hopefully get some rest. I hope that full moon is gone! He is not playing nice these days with my sandman!

    Oh no on the tummy bug. That's no good. And yes, I bought spaghetti squash yesterday because I kept seeing recipes and posts (including one of yours) so I've been craving it. I've only used quinoa flour once - I just ground up quinoa. Don't know if it's cheaper.....but may check into that.

    I hope you feel better soon!! Glad you said it's not a super bad one, but if you ask me - any stomach bug is a bad one :/ The fresh ginger is the way to go, though.
    The pizzert looks amazing! Can't wait for the details on that :)

    I think I'm going to make that ginger tea just because I love ginger so much.

    Get well!

    And yes, of course I'd love to see your version! It looks amazing.
    As for new flours, I just bought coconut flour... no idea what to do with it yet, but it called to me.

    Hope you're feeling better, Sarena! I'm definitely easily persuaded to eat things I see on blogs. In fact, my lunch today was the direct result of a foodie blog post. :)
