Tonight I am going to give you an old fashion remedy for a cough that scientist are baffled about "because it works!" This was sent to me by a friend. It was told at a lecture on Essential Oils. They told how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their examploe: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can taste it. Some of us have used Vicks Vapo Rub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many things in between. (My mom used to always heat a soft cloth, rub my chest and throat with Vicks and then put that warm cloth on me! Looking back I always got better!) The article goes on to say that to stop night time coughing in a child (and now it's been proven to work on adults too)generously rub Vicks Vapo Rub on the soles of the feet, cover with socks, and the heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Now don't laugh -- it works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and you can sleep soundly. The lecturer went on to say that his wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough and worked 100%. "She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes. So she went from - every few seconds of uncontrollable coughing, to sleeping cough-free for hours every night she used it!" SO IF YOU DO GET SICK - TRY THIS - WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE BUT A BAD COUGH?" I hope I don't ever need it -- but believe me I will try it!!! Now that I've given you some "medical advise" - how about some cooking advise!!!
Ever really needed to make a dessert and just did not have the time? Well here is a cake that can take up to three days to make -- so easy you can grab a minute today, a few more tomorrow - and the next day -- your cake is ready.
THREE DAY COCONUT CAKE
2 cups sour cream
1 bag coconut
1 large container cool whip or store brand
2 cups sugar
1 box yellow cake mix (I like Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker)
FIRST DAY: Mix sour cream, sugar, and 1/2 bag coconut. Cover and refrigerate. (NOW HOW HARD WAS THAT?)
SECOND DAY: Bake yellow cake mix per box instructions -- only add 1 tsp. vanilla flavoring. Let cool, and then slice to make 4 layers. Spread each layer with sour cream mixture (made on Day 1). Cover stacked cake with foil and refrigerate. (THE MOST TIME USED IN ONE DAY ON THE CAKE!)
THIRD DAY: Frost cake with Cool Whip and sprinkle with remaining coconut.
Keep in refrigerator!!
FOURTH DAY: ENJOY!!!
Easy enough - and delicious!!!
Here is a fun - and delicious recipe that Travis is very good at making!
MONKEY BREAD
3 Cans canned biscuits
2 sticks butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon (Penzey's is wonderful)
1/2 cup pecans chopped
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray Bundt pan with nonfat spray (Pam, Food King; Greater Value -- I find they all work the same!!!)
Combine melted butter, sugar and cinnamon. Quarter one can of biscuits and place in pan. Cover with one-third of the melted butter mixture; sprinkle with 1/3 pecans. Follow the same procedure with other 2 cans of biscuits. Bake approximately 20 to 25 minutes until bread is done. Turn out onto plate. Great for brunch or family treat.
TIP: After turning out onto plate, let pan rest for a few seconds so that all of the good cinnamon juice drains out of the pan!
Well friends - last night I coughed and must have pulled a muscle under my ribs and sitting here is misery -as was all day at work - (I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE RUBBED MY FEET WITH VICKS!) so I am going to bid you a good night with a wish for all of God's blessings on you - and if it is God's will - Talk to you tomorrow!
