Breakfast to Treat a Cold 

(Tomato Rasam, Handvo, Mashed Potato, Lemon Juice)

Breakfast to Treat a Cold (L-R, counterclockwise): Tomato Rasam (South Indian soupy dish), Carrot Handvo Muffin (Gujarati Indian snack of fermented ground rice and legumes, with veggies, baked), plain mashed potato, and squirts of fresh lemon juice (for the rasam and handvo.) I sure hope this works! If not, it still tastes good and is healthy.

I had some leftover rasam (see photo from Dec 21), and handvo (see photo from Dec. 8), in the freezer; some lemons in the fridge that need to be used; and a package of Bob's Red Mill potato flakes (no artificial ingredients or preservatives) in the cupboard. The potato flakes are easy to make into instant mashed potatoes, with boiling water from the kettle, and are good for a snack or side dish when I'm not feeling well (or when I don't have energy to make something else).
