My little ones were sick this weekend. I scaled back from the usual (menu) fare after they rejected the benign peas/chicken/thyme/potato puree. I felt a touch sensitive when he pulled the Yuck! face and scraped the contents of his tongue off with his top teeth. Wait!...But. I. thought...? was my initial reaction to the rejection of one of their favorite standard meals.
Then I realized it wasn't me. Or the food. Relief. Why does food rejection feel so personal sometimes?
After two days of nursing him back to strength of body [and stomach] with saltines and peppermint tea, he's back to accepting solids. Which got me thinking. Living in the land of alternative healing, medicine, pain relief, surely there are recipes abounding of foods that not only are palatable for an ailing stomach. And a step further, maybe even for a healing one?
I'm taking this on this week. I'll keep you posted on my findings.
