Home Remedies: Miraculous Cold & Flu Remedies :) You'll be feelin' better in no time!
(This next one is a Great Immune Booster, so I would have it any time you were feeling 'under the weather' or whenever you had to recuperate from something... and tastes pretty good, too -- just add enough Honey and Lemon to suit your own taste buds!)
Lemon, Honey 'N Onion Drink
2 to 3 Onions, peeled and cut in Fourths
One Big Pot of Water
Boil the Onions for 1 to 3 hours to create the 'Onion Juice'.
Strain and put in a Jug in the Fridge. (I always cover it with Saran Wrap so it won't 'smell'...)
Per Cup: Pour 3/4 of your cup (any cup...) full of the Onion Juice
Pop in the Microwave for 2 Minutes on High.
Add 2 tsp of Honey. Stir well. (Admittedly, I think I use closer to 2 Tablespoons of Honey, which I realize now is the reason I didn't lose any weight while I was sick... much to my disappointment! ha,ha,ha!)
Add Lemon Juice to Taste (like you would add milk to coffee...)
My Daughter, Cara likes it (or will drink it if she's really sick!) when it has Orange Tablets in it, so I dissolve 2 or 3 Vitamin C Tablets into her cup. This is more palatable for children of all ages -- adults included!

Chicken 'n Onion Soup in a Cup
Use the Same Base for the Onion Juice.
Heat up 1 Cup of the Onion Juice. (About 1 - 2 minutes in the Microwave)
Add 1 Tablespoon Chicken OXO (or 1 package, if you aren't shopping at Costco and buying everything in Giant Containers, yet!)
(If you're in a big hurry, just cut up the Green Onion and put it in a Cup with Boiling Water and 1 Tablespoon on Chicken OXO.)
Chop up 1 Green Onion and put it all in the Cup of Onion Juice. Stir well and enjoy!
I first came across the Base of this recipe...guess where...that's right, on The View! Barabara Walters had a scratchy throat (not good in T.V. Journalism!) and shared her recipe from a friend who happens to be an Opera Star (!) for the Onion and Honey Drink. I was pregnant at the time, had a cold and didn't want to take any medicine, so I tried it and it was horrible! I just couldn't drink it, so I added more Honey and some Lemon Juice, and Voila, it's not only palatable, it tastes good!
I always drink it with a 'Water Chaser' -- a great big glass of cold water so the Lemon Juice doesn't dry out your throat.
Oh, I thought I would be 'pro-active' with this remedy, so I chopped all sorts of Onions up and put them in a big bag in the Freezer. Well, I won't do that, again, because they smelled awful, and the smell spread to other things in the freezer. Now I just leave the onions in a paper bag in the cupboard. No smell, much better!
I woke up, this morning, with a really sore throat, so I immediately made my Onion Drink -- that stuff is a miracle in a cup! I feel better, already, and I've only had one cup. Dwight hates the smell of the Onion Juice 'simmering', so I quickly took out the Onion Juice (I strain it into a giant Bowl with an equally giant sieve!), then covered the container with plastic wrap and popped it in the fridge. Luckily, I was already planning to make Turkey Soup, today, so I replaced the onions into the Big Soup Pot and added all the 'Turkey Parts' -- you know the parts(!), and some spices, so he'll never be any the wiser! ha,ha! And I'll get better!
I'm gonna have to go make a
whole new page for the Onion, Honey 'N Lemon Drink, so you won't hurt your wrist
scrolling down to find it! ha,ha! I'll get right on that!
Green Onion and Chicken Raman... everyone likes this, and it's Fast 'n Easy...
Boil water for Raman (Mr. Noodles... whatever it might be called at your grocers!)
Break noodles and pour in water
Add 2 chopped Green Onions -- cook in microwave for 3 minutes, add 1 tsp. of Chicken OXO (Chicken Flavoring)
If you really, really want to get better, add 2 more chopped Green Onions... and I like a wee bit o' Parsley with it, too :) Enjoy and Get Well!
Everybody loooves Chicken Noodle Soup when they're feeling down, and this is one of my favorites!
I like to call this my 'Green & White Chicken Noodle Soup' -- it's very pretty, for a Soup!
So this is my favorite new Chicken Noodle Soup, and I wish I'd thought of this years ago, so I thought I'd tell my lovely Readers about it, so you can add it to your Favorites List! The Kids love it, too!
Green & White Chicken Noodle Soup (for full directions, go to Chicken Noodle Soup... yet another page in my site!)
1/2 Package of Tortiglioni Noodles (the curly ones!) (or Egg Noodles, or break linguine, fettutine or spaghetti noodles in 1" bits before cooking...)
4 Heaping Tablespoons of Chicken OXO
6 Tablespoons of Dried Parsley Flakes or a Bunch of Fresh Parsley, Chopped
Celery Stalk (whole thing), Diced
1 Onion, Diced
4 - 6 Green Onions, chopped
Stay Healthy! Ailsa!

This Home Defibrillator is a great idea -- I think they should have one of these in every Public Place, too, along with peolple at risk for a Heart Attack to have one at home. They have Heart Defibrillators in Schools where there are High-Risk Students -- it's a wise investment.
