Tempting ideas for dinner please?!?

Sorry but most of the dishes listed here are wrong - you shouldn't include too much fat, oil or dairy produce in food if you don't fee well.

A light broth of chicken soup with some lemon grass to infuse through it - some some noodles and vegetables would be good.

Make sure whatever you cook to included ginger in it - it's a proven help with nausea. Even ginger beer will help you.

Light and fresh food is what you need - no cheese, butter, cream or any derivative will make you feel better - quite the opposite in fact.

Chicken soup is really about the best thing. It really does have curative powers. Serve with french bread. Or you could do French Onion Soup.

If you aren't a soup person, I'd avoid meat - hard to digest - and anything too spicy. Even meatloaf can be too much when I'm feeling queasy.

If you have to make dinner for people other than yourself you probably need to have a more traditional fare but if you live by yourself - how about custard or tapioca pudding or rice pudding?

If you have to have food for others, brown hamburger, mix with mushroom soup and cooked rice and warm in oven. That's for them. Then eat what YOU feel like eating for the rest of the meal.

And don't forget to include some live culture yogurt in your diet somewhere - it can help replace the good germs that are killed with the evil ones.

Hope you feel better soon!

If you're queasy, then you do NOT want anything with dairy (like cheese or cream) or anything too heavy. Plain grilled chicken with a green salad might be good; and a citrus fruit salad would be refreshing too. Have someone get you some gingerale, ginger tea and gingersnaps - ginger is a natural relaxer for queasiness and stomach problems. You might even want some Greek yogurt (the bacteria in it will help too); stir in a bit of honey and some berries. Lemon sorbet and popsicles might help too. This isn't the time to worry about a "balanced diet":) ..... Feel better soon!

Try with fresh things. I have one "wonder meal", works for me, don't be surprised, it is a bit unusual. It is a salad.

Fresh spinach (20 leaves or so) or something similar (deep green)

1 orange

1 apple (the green sort if possible)

1-2 carrots

2 ounces pomegranate juice (or pear, or peach)

1 ounce butter

Put in the oven on 50 degrees celsius for 5 minutes to melt the butter.

You'll feel great and the appetite will soon be back.

Chicken soup. Really. The homemade kind with noodles and veggies, even some potato if you want. Don't bother with cooking down the chicken unless you want to , buy the chicken in parts, brown it and add to the soup, or buy it already cooked. Use canned or frozen veggies, frozen noodles, canned broth. Add the spices you like, onion, garlic, bay leaf, etc.

Soup has everything you need to help break up the congestion,and it is a natural curative. Easy on the spices if you are queasy.

saute some chicken breasts cut into small pieces, add salt, pepper, garlic and some red pepper flakes. Use a jar of alfredo sauce and cook fettucine, when the fettucine is done mix alfredo sauce with the chicken before you mix with the fettucine.....then mix together...

Yummmmmmoooooooooooooooo

here are a few of the milder dishes i like to eat when my stomach isn't feeling too strong:

pasta or ravioli with a simple alfredo, butter garlic, or tomato cream sauce

tuna casserole

hamburger stroganoff over egg noodles

mild/creamy curried chicken over rice

homemade soup, esp. baked potato soup

homemade mac & cheese

breakfast for dinner

basically, i like creamy, warm, soft dishes without a lot of spice. hope this helps!

Macaroni cheese and chips

pork in a cream cider and mustard with baby potates and peas

pasta and creme friache. plain and ok tasting.
