I Am Not A Fruit Fly

VinegarBlog

In yesterday’s comments, Sarena, Carrie and Ashley told me how amazing apple cider vinegar is for colds + sickness. They told me to take a shot of it, gargle, mix it with lemon. So this morning – when my cold symptoms were at their peak – I mixed a tablespoon in a big glass of water with some lemon. I told myself it was kombucha and that it was delicious.

I took a sip. And then I gagged. I took another sip. More gagging. Thankfully I was standing over the sink because I really thought it might come right back up.

Every fruit fly in my house hovered around me, cheering. I think they are the reason I just couldn’t do it. The smell of those two weeks of vinegar fruit fly traps.

And then I dumped it down the drain. I hope those 3 sips I swallowed work!

And then I moved on to more delicious things…

Biscoff OIAJ!

IMG_1839Blog

There was hardly any Biscoff left in this jar, but the little bits I did get were wonderful. Did you see that Trader Joe’s is now making a version? I like that their jar says “cookie spread” – because that’s what it is! It’s not a health food at all, it’s just delicious.

IMG_1835Blog

Into the overnight oats jar:

  • 1/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/2 banana
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/3 cup blackberries
  • Biscoff residue

IMG_1836Blog

Gingerbread tea, followed by a cup of green tea because it’s “healthy” but it tastes like bitter dirt 🙁

    I drink a glass of water every morning with about 1T of apple cider vinegar. It’s really… ahem… cleansing. You do get used to it after a while. Then you can reward yourself/get the taste outta your mouth with Biscoff OIAJ. 😉

    To make that nasty colds and flu bug go away, try making an ACV (apple cider vinegar) and honey tea. Mix one tablespoon of ACV and 1 tablespoon of honey in a cup of hot water, let it cool for a bit and then sip slowly. If the taste of ACV is much too harsh for you, then make a lemon and honey tea instead. 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice + 1 tablespoon of honey mixed in a cup of hot water.

    I just wanted to let you know that my “chia charger” nut butter pack that I ordered off your OpenSky promotion just arrived yesterday and I’ve already tried one! They are amazing! I’m so happy with the flavors and the size of the jars too!

    One question though: do you store your chia charger in the fridge or in the regular pantry? I’m afraid if I store it in the fridge it will get hard.. but I also didn’t see any suggestions on the jars as to where to store it??

    I chug ACV straight out of the bottle every morning and chase it down with some water! It’s sort of like I’m doing shots at the club in my own kitchen (wearing yoga capris and slippers while the dog whines to go potty and the two small children scream for breakfast). I can dream.
    ACV is also great for keeping yeast at bay (my motivation).

    I agree with the above suggestion for the honey. I SWEAR by apple cider vinegar! I steep Throat Coat tea (Traditional Medicinals), add honey and stir in 2 teaspoons of acv. I also use a netti pot. AMAZING what it does. However, I’m not sure how it works once you have the full on cold. It works best at first signs of a cold.

    Reply
  16. Susan says

    November 30, 2011 at 9:10 am

    You probably already know this, but make sure the ACV is the cloudy kind with the “mother” still in it. The clear kind you find at the grocery is filtered and all of the goodness has been taken out of it. It’s basically useless beyond salad dressing at that point.

    Ugh I hear ya on the apple cider vinegar! I’ve tried to take it because it supposedly helps with digestion and bloating, but sometimes I just can’t get it down my throat. I’ve resorted to taking it like you would cough medicine – plugging my nose, swallowing it, and chasing it with something tasty (like Biscoff!!)

    First time commenter…tea fanatic! Green tea can be great… sweet even…but needs to be steeped the right amount of time. Have you tried flavored green? Also, the water needs to be less then boiling. I hope you are able to find the right green tea for you and LOVE that you are into it for the health benefits. Thank you for all your healthy inspiration!

    those blackberries look amazing in your pics! hate to say it, but the apple vinegar thing does work really well…but I get your fruit fly trap induced aversion! When I do it, I just mix a tablespoon in a little glass of water with ice (it has to be ice cold) and sip on it all day long…no big drinks, just little sips. I think it’s the constant infusion of the vinegar in your body that does the trick.

    love your blog. it has definitely changed how i eat breakfast – a lot more fruit, yogurt, nut butters.

    also, we must live very close… i live down the quaint wine street (the one with the vegetable garden under frost covers now). also wanted to let you know re hiking (since you seem to enjoy it so much), very nearby at mcintire park (down the hill from the picnic shelters) there are excellent woods and trails (behind the high school) that my kids and I frequent a lot. Just as an alternative to the Monticello trail.

    After a while you get used to the ACV ‘cocktail’, but when I first started drinking it (mainly to help a little with digestion) I added a teaspoon of raw honey or maple syrup to cut the vinegar-y taste. Definitely makes it more enjoyable!

    Hi Kath,

    My family has been drinking Apple Cider Vinegar for years(we call them vinegar shoots), and this is how we do it: Mix hot water, honey, and a few tablespoons of vinegar together.. The smell is not so great, but I actually love the taste. You can add lots of water and drink like a tea (this is what I do) or you can add a smaller amount of water and take it like a shot (what my family does).
    Up to three vinegar shots a day for three days and you will be feeling amazing, I promise! This has never failed me! (also, honey is a preservative, so the vinegar will kill and the honey will soothe..perfecto!

    Feel better soon.

    You’ve got guts to try to drink that Apple Cider Vinegar. Good thing you had a delicious breakfast to counter the bad taste. I am very curious about this Biscoff spread…I might just have to go to TJs and pick up their version…

    You ought to try steeping the green tea and another tea, maybe the gingerbread, in the cup together. I do it with mint tea all the time. It definately tastes better that way.

    Hmmm…did anyone say why this was supposed to work, because I have to say, it sounds like an urban legend to me. If anything I would imagine it would be like gargling with warm salt water and would lessen some of the symptoms (i.e. sore throat) but not shorten the cold.

    Either way, when I’m told to gargle something I would assume that I just need to gargle, not drink which makes it a little less disgusting.

    Personally, I’ve found zinc to be really helpful in reducing the duration of my colds. Medical research seems to be a little all over the place on its effectiveness, but for me it does the trick.

    I love apple cider vinegar drinks! It is very good mixed with apple juice or even just some agave.

    Just in case you want to give green tea another try: it has to be steeped in water that’s between 65-75 degrees Celsius for 2-3 minutes otherwise it turns bitter. And I love vinegar, but I love everything sour 😉

    I was planning on heading to TJ’s to go get some today, but according to the hubs, the car needs inspected or something. What sort of lameness is that??

    When I have a cold the best thing to do (for me) is to make a tea with fresh ginger chopped and smashed a bit in the bottom of a mug, juice from half a lemon and a Tbs. or two of honey. Let it sit for a minute or two then feel the healthy goodness running through your body 🙂

    I gave up on diluting ACV a long time ago, it’s just too hard to get through a whole cup of that grossness! Now I just try to remember to have at least a teaspoon a day straight (preferably it should be once in the morning, once at night), about 20 mins before a meal if possible.

    Ugh that sounds gross! When I went to camp as a kid, I remember the nurses would always make me gurgle salt water when I got sick. It was terrible!

    Eat Live Run had an Asian Chicken Noodle Soup post this week that Jen said was good for a cold. You might try that because it looked much better than Apple Cider Vinegar sounds.

    Apple Cider Vinegar is hard to palate. It is sooo strong!

    do you have fruit fies at your house too? this is the first year here, but I think they out number the stink bugs. yeh, i wouldn’t have tried the apple cider vinegar. gargling or drinking anything that is warm/hot or has antiseptic properties can help viruses from proliferating in the throat. feel better.

    I found some ‘biscrisps’ at Big Lots a few weeks ago–> It says ‘cinnamon cookie spread’ on the bottle and it is HEAVEN! Definitely not a ‘health food’, but it sure is a nice treat… by the spoonful 🙂
