Ginger Chicken Soup

I woke up last night repeatedly pretty much coughing my lungs out. I'm used to getting horrifically sick on a regular basis, but somehow this year I've been relatively healthy.
Obviously I was tempting fate.

I don't cook meat very often, but when I do, I make sure I fuck it up completely chicken soup is kind of one of those comfort foods I crave when ill. My mom used to make chicken soup for me when I was sick. I think that ginger and spice are a great way to clear out the sinuses when you're congested.

Ingredients:
2 chicken thighs
1 bunch mustard greens
4 scallions, trimmed and sliced into 3 inch lengths
3 cloves garlic
4 nickles of ginger (probably want to lower this to three if you aren't a huge ginger fan)
4 cups stock
2 cups water

Serves 3 sickly Christinas

• Add everything but the mustard greens to the pot and simmer for 50 minutes. 
• Add mustard greens and simmer for 15 more minutes 

Alright, time to crawl back into bed. 

Lemony Sauteed Kale and Broiled Salmon

When I think I'm about to get sick, I pretty much always make fish for dinner. I have this bizarre theory that if I eat really healthy, I won't get sick.
It never works.
I always get sick.
If you went off this blog, you'd probably assume I never eat protein, and, although that its true that I don't eat enough protein, I eat more than it seems. But less than I probably should :(
Anyway, every time I go to Winco, I buy some random green and I usually forget to eat it.

Ingredients:
Lemony Kale:
1/2 lb Kale, washed and drained
1 tbsp Olive oil
1/2 lemon

Salmon:
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt
About 5 oz Salmon

Heavily salt the salmon and let sit for half an hour. Meanwhile, remove stems

Smoky OH GOD WHY Fish Soup

Almost every single time I cook with peppers, I end up getting part of one up my nose. Every male I've told about this predilection ends up saying "HAHA YOU ARE JUST TOO CUTE OMG YOUR PAIN IS SO ADORABLE YOU'RE JUST LIKE A TINY INCAPABLE CHILD AND THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU."

My only thought is generally "Fuck you I wanted sympathy."
Fuck bitches. Get money.

Ingredients:
1/2 white onion, diced
1 carrot, sliced
1 celery stalk, chopped
3 chipotle peppers + some adobo sauce
2 tomatoes, chopped
6 oz of white fish
3 cups stock
1 tbsp olive oil

Cook the white onion in olive oil over medium heat until translucent. Add carrot, celery, tomatoes, peppers and stock and cook for about 10 minutes. Add fish and cook until the fish is done, about 5 - 10 minutes more.
