Comfort food when you're ill

 

Today I'm feeling much better but I haven't done anything except rest in my bed for 3 days!  The last time I was ill my son and his fiancé were still living with me so they kindly brought me food and endless hot drinks.  This time I've had to fend for myself.

I really haven't had an appetite so I've been making myself eat regularly,  Luckily I made a big pot of the chicken soup and that fed me for 2 days.  Today I felt the need for some fresh veggies so had a few salady type snacks with chopped up cucumbers and peppers.  But I really craved something comforting and sweet.  So I made a very quick rice pudding.

Just rice, coconut milk and soft brown sugar thrown into my wok (it's the only big non stick pan I have) and simmered for about 20 mins.  It's caramel taste really hit the spot and being dairy and gluten free it's easy on my tummy!

What's your go to comfort food when you're sick?
