what I eat in a day, a realistic sick day. How I try to tackle my cold and vegan comfort food recipes! Vegan soup and noodles and hearty delicious gnocchi!
This video was not planned lol I just got ended up getting sick and I want to keep this channel as real as possible. So here is a day with me doing self care and looking after myself while i'm unwell. I cut out most of the coughing and nose blowing - didn't want to pass the cold through the web. Hope you guys enjoy the recipes and hanging with me. Fortunately, since going vegan my immune system has been better than ever and I don't really get colds, but this time the cold won lol! xxx
Rachel, when I get sick I fast or eat less cause it helps your body concentrates to fight the disease instead of focus his energy in your digestion. It works for me.
I love how *real* you are! You didn't even edit out your coughs, you talk about getting your period, in another video you were talking about your poos... I love the way you talk about these things in such a normal "part of life" way. I have been binge watching your videos. 😂 You're beautiful, your voice is soothing (even when you're sick), your smile makes me feel happy, your recipes always look delicious and not at all boring, plus they look like food people will actually make, you're so normal and welcoming... You make me feel more like I'm at your house and you're showing me a recipe or what you bought while shopping rather than like I'm just watching your videos from far away. I love that! 😍 You've definitely made a fan out of me.
It's good to see that you're taking great care of yourself regardless of you being sick and yes we as vegans get sick however there's plenty of plant based medicinal properties out there that we can use to treat ourselves. . Great video!!!!
@@emilylouise158 Ooh thanks!! I haven't tried the mac and cheese yet but I'm definitely going to - and will check out the Happy pear, thanks for the tips :) xxx
Bosch or Bosh, I cannot remember how to spell it, they have good stuff too. Just google vegan blogs and youtube, there are tons! good luck on your journey! I am pretty new myself, I have been doing it since March.
Rachel, I have tried many of your dishes! I’ve only been vegan for a week, but your dishes keep me going!! You’re are definition of dedication cooking YouTubing while you’re sick. 🧡
Since going vegan, our family rarely gets sick too. But when we do...it makes its way through the 8 of us two at a time...it's so weird, lol. My Granny's Trini corn and dumpling soup recipe and diffused lemon oil gets us up and running in no time. Thanks for sharing this. You are soo adorable even sick 😩😩😩. Hope you're feeling better! 💚
I needed to see this because I'm sick as we speak. This is right on time. I just need the strength to get out of bed to make this. Thanks so much for this, Sis. ❤ me some you.
As an individual who's coming off a week being sick with mono this video made me feel so good and made me want to really cook. I may not be a vegan but anyone can appreciate quality cooking and this made me drool so much.
Just ran across your channel this morning! You are SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL!!!!! I'm super pumped on finding you cuz I love vegan what I eat in a days, I'm vegan myself but don't always feel the most creative in the kitchen! I can feel the flow of cooking getting easier, it only took a year on and off but I think I am truly getting there! You have some very different, creative and AMAZING looking recipes! Gonna make this spicy noodle dish tonight! Thanks love keep doing you and hope your on the rise from your sickness! xx
Travel, babies and the cold lead to my current cold/flu. I had hella fever and could barely do the market and back before falling back asleep without even making tea. Your items look so yummy and comforting!
I had almost stopped watching UA-cam vids but because of you I'm back on here watching your vids every day. You've got such happy energy and you get just as excited about yum vegan food as I do! Keep creating awesome content lovely 😘
Feel better soon Ms. Ama. You are a true dedicated vegan rep. To still record, edit and upload whilst unwell, for yet another Sunday post is admirable. Most appreciated. 👍🤗
Wow ! Sure hope you are feeling better Rachel. I can relate all too well because I am just recovering from a mean nasty beat down I had to whip up on this tickle in my throat that tried to develop into something worse. It didn't get as bad as it could of (symptoms lasted three days) however at my worst I felt so fatigued from sinus pressure with the stuffy & runny nose I didn't have the energy to make myself something curative,healthy, and delicious. Lesson learned - when I am at my best, I will make delicious soups full of all of the good stuff - onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric, fresh veggies etc. AND FREEZE IT IN CASE OF EMERGENCY !!! Lol - I admire your stamina to make 3 meals during your state of unwellness. I would have simply crawled out of bed, took that prepared soup out of the freezer and probably had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner :-D Luv your channel girl !!!
as i guy, i cannot imagine being a vegan, with a cold on their time of the month; i feel you gurl, i'll try these recipes whenever i feel i have the typical 'manflu' ahaha
I am new to your channel. I am all in! I love to cook. I'm transitioning to a vegan lifestyle. I've been pescatarian, but for the most part vegetarian for 2 years or more. Your dishes look amazing and achievable. I can't wait to invest in your cookbook. Give thanks! Love Love Love
This was great, encouraged me to go grab lemon and ginger haha but everything else idk how you did it, too sick to function here. That food looks amazing! Maybe on a day that I was feeling a tad less sick, I’d make those for sure.
I hope that you get well real soon. You are a super woman, grocery shopping and cooking all those healthy meals, will heal your body in no time. Food is really medicine to our bodies especially the right kinds!🤗
Hope you feel better soon Rachel. I’ve been dealing with a cold also and like you, I am rarely sick. Anyway, your meals look delicious! I love soup, so I’ll definitely make that one soon. 😊
Sending you good energy and well wishes you feel better sooner than later✨. London & that cold may be putting a bit of a beating on you; however nothing ever puts a damper on the great vibes you give us in your videos 💛🙏🏽
The food looks UHmazing! This is something I'm definitely looking forward to making once my bf and I come back from our deployments. Thank you for putting in the time especially with you being sick to make this video! Love it!
I suggest when using the mortar and pestle to put some salt first that will help with creating the paste more easily (also helps from having it all fly out of the mortar)
This is currently me and my partners Favorite video. Can you please post more vids like this? I love the meal prep and recipe videos but this helped me this week. I’ve been feeling sick recently just due to the weather here in Albany NY. I tried your lemon ginger mix and omg it was good! Been drinking that since and have been much better.
You are absolutely unreal, love watching your videos so much you have really helped me on my transition to a vegan lifestyle! Such amazing food all the time 😍
Thanks for these. Looks delish!! Will try these. Do keep your body warm when getting over illness. You look amazing but a sweater would be better. Love and hugs, Suzanne 🙏💞💞😘
I hope u feel better soon hun ...you are strong love thank u for sharing beautiful...garlic is a natural antibiotic so i truly hope it helps you feel better...you lunch and dinner looked really good
Sis I cook soup any time I'm sick. I live on my own so it's necessary. And OMG my period started as soon as I got sick as well. Been resting so much. Anyways, love your recipe and think I'm gonna try your paste recipe this weekend. Feel better, beautiful!
Hi Rachel we hope you feel better I don't know when I'm sick I don't feel like doing all that cooking but if you're by yourself I guess you have to everything look delicious
Everything looked absolutely delicious!! You did amazing cooking so well whilst feeling unwell. Definitely agree to dosing up on vit c 😁 hope you feel better soon! Love the singing and dancing, brings a smile as always x
I have a massive cold as well! My lovely boyfriend brought me breakfast and painkillers in bed, and for lunch and dinner I made a huge amount of risotto. That's my favorite food with a sore throat, it's so soft and comforting and delicious.
i know this is late Rach, but have you tried the lemon and honey in green tea or echinacea pills? they are what we use, And I know bee honey isnt vegan but we use dandelion honey and it has all the benefits of dandelion greens and tastes wonderful. there is also echinacea to make in a tea if you dont like pills. Combining those with the soups and the sinus baths would do wonders. a tip for the sinus bath, place a warm towel over your head and then put your face a couple inches over the bowl, the angle helps to widen the sinus cavity and lets in more vapors. Much love my sister!
I don't normally comment but I just had to say I have been watching you channel for a long time so I feel like I can say you are way too beautiful a person to have been shopping and cooking for yourself when you are sick.
Hi Rachel, tea consuming two hour before meal worked for my wifes iron level to get back to normal range, plus soaking the seeds. Absorption was the key in our opinion.
You're so productive while sick wow. Was it safe to go out like that, were you out of the contagion phase of your cold? I know people gotta work, but the cold and flu viruses can be lethal for people with weaker immunity, staying home is the ideal thing to do. The gnocchi looked spectacularly delicious indeed!!! Knocking on wood, but I haven't had a cold at all this year despite the very irregular weather. I used to catch a cold at least once every season, but since going fully plant-based, nothing. I used to catch everyone's cold too, hasn't happened *crosses fingers.* I don't sleep any better than before, and this year has been very stressful. No one can tell me that it's not my diet, because nothing else can explain this boost to my wimpy immune system. Well, it could be a permanent placebo effect!
I was thinking the same thing, but just in general. keep soup supplies in your pantry so you don't infect others! Especially those with bad immune systems, as you brought up.

Take care of yourself Beautiful. You will feel better very soon❤
Rachel, when I get sick I fast or eat less cause it helps your body concentrates to fight the disease instead of focus his energy in your digestion. It works for me.
This honestly could not have come at a better time cause I’m sick too lol
Hey Sweetie cover those beautiful shoulders for a few days. We all know colds are viruses but a warm body helps us heal, just sayin.'
Rachel Ama ACV water with lemon will help with mucus and clean out your system.❤️ Feel better love.
Girl open a Vegan restaurant, id be their everyday !! 👏🏾👏🏾
Kehinde Oguntoyinbo I’m sorry. I hate myself for doing this but it’s ‘there’ not ‘thier’
@@kikiopickle2399 Was that really necessary? And on top of that, you can't even spell 'their' so stfu.
teareefs fair enough. Got me there😂 but u didn’t have to shoot me for it.
So would I, and I'm not even vegan! Her dishes look so delicious!
@@kikiopickle2399 Amen! Geez! Unnecessarily cruel.
Oh my goodness that spicy noodle bowl was to die! I would eat that every day! Hope you're on the up now, Rachel!
has a cold
still wears off-the-shoulder top...
Girl, I would be freezing! The food looks amazing though, as always. Hope you get better soon!

My Granny's Trini corn and dumpling soup recipe and diffused lemon oil gets us up and running in no time. Thanks for sharing this. You are soo adorable even sick 😩😩😩. Hope you're feeling better! 💚
What is Trini corn and dumpling soup? It sounds amazing!!
Please drop the recipe/Ingredients ! I know grannys usually don’t have a set recipe but an order of operations will do haha)
It might be on her channel
Just made this soup and it’s going in the cook book! Amazing and so simple!
I needed to see this because I'm sick as we speak. This is right on time. I just need the strength to get out of bed to make this. Thanks so much for this, Sis. ❤ me some you.
Very classy, and well put together considering your ill at the moment thanks for sharing.
As an individual who's coming off a week being sick with mono this video made me feel so good and made me want to really cook. I may not be a vegan but anyone can appreciate quality cooking and this made me drool so much.
