I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mum. Grief takes us all differently. I think of it as a coat that we wear. Sometimes it’s really heavy but we can’t take it off, over time, we feel that we can bear to wear it less. Sometimes it’s lighter and we can hang it up. It’s always there but we don’t always have it on. I hope that makes sense x
Your mum is around you all the time, just a breath away xx
Awww yes like a coat xx
When you cook tomatoes it increases the lycopene content and it increases even more so when adding olive oil to cooked tomatoes. Well done for getting these videos out whilst feeling unwell🙋♂️🐈
Good to know!
I’m so impressed with you preparing and eating so healthy while sick. I love chia seeds and will sprinkle them and hemp hearts on my avocado toast and when lazy having packet oatmeal, I’ll add both to the packages to increase nutrition and make more filling. Please take care of yourself. I’m in Canada and Covid is on the rise again. Hope you can get rest.
Hoping you feel better soon. I just love your videos. you have a lovely clear voice and an amazing personality. I think you are brave in your experiments but glad that most of them seem to work. it is hard being single on a budget, i just make lots of big vegtan meals (soups, stews and a mild curry) and freeze portions so i dont have to cook all the time. I have binge watched all your videos now ... and I really enjoyed them. I am now going to start with your first video and watch them all again as I miss watching you all the time. I wish you all the best and look forward to following your progress. I will be trying out some of the food ideas that you have shown. thankyou.
Thank you dr carol xx
Well done Rechenda for being a trooper getting this weeks vlogs out and filming for us feeling grief and still going please look after yourself we will still be here when you feel bettter but you did great making burgers and bread (big hug to Jack).xxx
Thanks Gail xx
In case you didn't know, if you're using turmeric in anything you need to add a little black pepper to release the health benefits of the turmeric. Love your channel ❤
Ahhh x
Hope you are feeling better soon. Nothing worse than being poorly. I also lost my mum 2 years ago to heart failure , so I know what you are going through😢. I thought my life ended that day, but I’ve started to except that’s she gone now and I have to live my life how she would want me too for my kids sake also. I absolutely love your channel and I think you are a lovely lady with a great sense of humour. Hope you feel well soon ❤❤ xxx
Aww sending love and hugs xxx
Get well soon! It’s absolutely dire being ill!
Also, I had a bit more time this morning, so I’ve let all the ads run to earn you some pennies! ❤ much love x
You're the best! Xx
Rechenda, my daughter in law just got over a horrible case of COVID. My son had to take her to the emergency room. They said all they could give her was a really strong cough syrup to help her sleep. The thing is , she had previously tested negative for COVID the previous week. She had your very same symptoms. I hope you test again. I’m a little worried about you. Please take care.
Marcia
Why didn't they give her ivermectin?
They said she was too late for it. The frustrating thing for all of us was she tested twice and it came back negative. Next day she almost died in the shower because she couldn’t breathe. It was scary.
Omg xx
Loving your blogs here in south australia, knowing how much you like cabbage thought i'd share a cheap and cheerful meal I leant of my late mum who passed in 2022. Using a cooked chicken breast or any part of a left over sunday roast, chop and add to a pan add a couple of chopped carrots, a chopped onion and 1/2 a small head of cabbage plus water and curry powder to taste. Then cook until veg are soft and tender, can be eaten as is or drained and served with rice. Enjoy! ❤🐨❤
Nom nom nom xxx
Sorry you are still ill. Sending healing vibes. You are doing really well on your challenge. Take care. ❤😊
Thanks Kerri xx
I had a chest infection just after Christmas and believe me it was no joke. but one thing i can tell that definitely worked.its turmeric made with black pepper and ginger.i really hope you feel better soon.there's nothing worse when you are feeling poorly.positivity peace and love ♥️
Oooh will get some of that x
Hi Ru and Jack-boy! I've been watching your 'recuperaton' series, but I'm also a bit under the weather so I haven't been replying until today....Had a nice hot bath and a shave so I'm practically human again hehehe. I also had a nice cabbage dish, cooked in butter with slow cooked onions and caraway. with a couple of german Turkey Weisswurst ....
I've been making my own homemade bread since the 1970s. when I make a yeasted loaf for me the darker the better with lots of seeds etc. The slice you had in the soup looked just the ticket.
We have a lovely avocado tree (Haas) in the garden that gets it's water from the rainy season.
What we crave is what we need. Tomatoes has Vitamin C & A. B1, B2, Potassium Calcium Phosphorus Sodium. Generally Tomato is a Laxative and Anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. Good for high blood pressure, Cholesterol, and lung infections....
I'm having slices of cheese (Dutch Maasdam) with homemade chicken liver pate.
Keep taking care of yourself and Prince Beanie. I'm with you in spirit if not always in long rambling posts hehehe. All the best Jim and crew.
Dr John Campbell has just interviewed an Australian immunologist who has discovered a definite link between the microbiome (gut health) and the immune system. Being scientifically-minded I had already considered a link and did my own research which suggested the same. Thus key for those with tetchy guts is to increase consumption of pre- and pro-biotics. For the last 2 years I have been making my own kimchi and other lacto-ferments and have eaten full-fat natural live yoghurt for many years. These definitely help to keep lurgies and chest infections away.
Jacques! How are you?! I’m lying in bed stuffed full of antibiotics be back hopefully tomorrow with a vid xx
@@TheBudgetFoodie Dear Ru, thanks for asking, I'm much better. Still with some hovering symptoms but nothing major. You keep taking care of yourself so that we can see you dancing and running about. I'm also happy to see Jack is okay. We have visiting neighbor cats who I worry about as if they were my own. And now with youtube there are little guys all around the world that have my attention. Looking forward to your content. Meanwhile I can dig into your back catatlogue to catch up. All the Best from Big Jack (Jacques) hehehe.
I love making bread , pizza and baking in all shapes . Take care of yourself 👍
Thank you, I will x
I love your inventory cooking style 😊 hope your feeling better soon x
Thank you!! 😊
Try a homemade pizza for dinner- pizza toast? Praying that you get better! ❤
Great idea!! Xx
ohh those burgers look yummie , hope you feel better soon xx
Thank you 😋
I was inspired to try chia pudding after seeing yours! 4 little pots in the fridge ready to try tomorrow! Hope you feel better soon!
Hope you enjoy
You shouldnt use old antibiotics and youre meant to finish the course even if you feel better, increases antibiotic resistance and affects everyone. In case you didnt know 😊
Also wondering how Kerry is doing?
Kerry has seven weeks left to go!! Xx
My deepest condolences on the loss of your mum Rechenda 💔💔. While you can never get over losing a parent, I hope your heart starts to feel better soon xx
Thanks Gina xxx
Wow! Super impressed with your creativity! Well done! ❤ Hope you feel better after your snooze xx
Thanks so much! 😊
Your such a soldier soldiering on, please get your chest listened to 🙏
Thank you! I’m lying in bed stuffed full of antibiotics be back hopefully tomorrow with a vid xx
So sorry to hear about your mother passing away so quickly. I almost lost my mother to sepsis over a year ago. It took a long time for her to recover. It was a very traumatic time. Sending you love ❤
You're doing brilliantly, Rechenda. And I hope you are feeling better very soon ❤️. Kizzy says hello to Beanie 🖤🐱🐱
Kizzy in the house! Xx
Sorry to read of your loss 💐, take care of yourself. Grief affects everyone differently
I purchase bread but read the labels .
You are so right about avocado 🥑 as they are very water greedy but I love them 😊
The tomatoes 🍅 looked delicious.
Just rest with Jack 🐈⬛😊
Thank you xxx
❤ You are doing amazing. ♡ Lots of hugs for your grief. Thank you for being vunerable & honest with us 😊
Aww thank you x
Absolutely love your videos i enjoy seeing what you make its so important to be able to improvise in today's climate. Hope you feel much better soon 🙂
Thanks so much! Sending love right back xx
❤hope you’re better soon! Xx
I hope so too!
Only found your channel last week or so and I am hooked now. So many good tips and ideas. Hope you feel better soon 😊
Welcome!!
If you will eat a teaspoon of peanut butter it gets rid of hiccups. You can always make some bean soup…if you have any of your bacon or ham left along with some diced onion, garlic and carrot. Add S&P…then add in chicken broth or water to cook everything in. Serve with a little green onion for garnish and you have the chicken broth, onion and garlic to help with your congestion along with the beans for your protein. Serve with some of your crusty bread. Also, baked potatoes have vitamin C. Use some of the broccoli to make broccoli cheese soup then use any leftover soup to top a fluffy baked potato. Also very good if you put some of the canned onions as a garnish. Also potato and corn chowder is good too. My mother always made me chicken & rice soup for when I was 🤒. So sorry to hear about your mother…just know she is in heaven watching over you.
Fab tips xx aww I hope she is xx ‘mum can you help me out with this cough and chest infection please!’ X
whenever I am feeling poorly, I make some magic brew: fresh ginger, lemon juice, curcuma & a splash of water. Whizz it in the bullet, drink cold or warm. A bit of honey when you have boiled it up, makes it a bit extra.
Hope you feel better soon.
Send some haha x
Are ya gonna do a recipe book? Please... Fresh ginger, lemon juice, whisky, sugar and hot water in a nice hot bath. Works wonders. X
Great idea! Xx
Heartfelt best wishes at this very difficult time. ❤
Thank you so much xx
Darn ❣️ Thought I'd be FIRST !!! Sweetie... please go to a doctor? You took Jack to the vet... what would Jack tell you to do? Huh???🤪
Yes I agree!! Get yourself to the doctor ASAP. Take care of yourself!! X
@@glendaanderson8627👍👍👍🙏
👍👍👍🙏❣️
Benny would say you can't take care of me if you don't take care of yourself. I luv you mommy. Meow.
Definitely 🙏🙏
Get well soon. Tomatoes are so versatile and bright 🍅🍅🍅
So sorry you are still having a hard time with your cough. There is a great tea that works great for coughs: lotus root tea. You can also buy lotus root in an Asian market and eat it.
Good to know! 😊 went to the doctors today they prescribed antibiotics, I’ve also ordered some lungwort xx
That soup looks delicious good food will help you feel better ❤😊 get better soon x
Thank you 😊
@@TheBudgetFoodie how did you go at the doctors I hope it went well
It's late in New Zealand but I can't sleep so I just thought I would message you and see how you are doing?
Sorry you’re still poorly. Maybe you’re run down with everything you’ve been dealing with. Definitely worth going to the doctor to get checked out.
Thin rye bread toasted is delicious with avocado on it. You’re doing well to stay nourished and hydrated while feeling so unwell. Try and be kind to yourself, maybe consider increasing your food budget for a bit and stock up on essentials so you’re good to go when you’re overwhelmed. Take care.
You could also roast some of the soy beans in the oven and add them on top of a salad or soup or eat them as a snack.
Oh love that idea x
When you have turmeric you need to add black pepper so your body and absorb it, also try getting a cheap tin of jackfruit from lidl great meat alternative. You're amazing
Ahhh wonderful tip x
Love avo on toast
In Chinese medicine lungs are the Grief organ. Steam inhalations with vick works well. For the first year after my mum died I could hear her call my name xxx
Whaaaaaat
I've recently had a chest infection and I craved tomatoes too! And sushi... very random. Hope you feel better soon 😊 x
Interesting re tomatoes. How did you get rid of the infection? X
Well done for knocking out videos whilst unwell. Have you tried a simmus oil facial steam? It really helps your lungs. You can make your own with a few drops of eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree and orange or lemon oil in hot water. Or else gargle with sea salt. Sending hugs and healing. No doubt Beanie's love will help nurse you back to full health. 😻
I’ve got Vicks xx
@@TheBudgetFoodie nice one! I hope you are now on the mend. 💖
So sorry to hear of your loss.
Thank you Donna xx
Hi Rechenda, so sorry you’re still not feeling well. Like everyone else says, a visit to the doctor and maybe antibiotics, might be due, or It might be Covid. You’re eating very well which is great. I know what you mean about wanting to talk to your mum. I always used to feel like that when we got back from our holidays, I’d want to tell my mum about it, it’s a very strange feeling. Also looking for a sign. Lots of love and hugs❤xxx
She did a Covid test in video #2. It was negative.
Yeah did two both negative xx
Hi Anne thanks for your kind message. Thank you! I’m lying in bed stuffed full of antibiotics be back hopefully tomorrow with a vid xx so sad losing a loved one xx
If you love someone and they pass the best way to honor them is to live your life the best way possible! ❤
Awww yes xx
Tofu is lovely soaked with lemon, garlic and soy sauce. Just keep drinking the lemon, ginger, turmeric and black pepper with honey. Another way to do the bread or rolls or flat bread is to use greek yoghurt and self raising flour with baking powder. Tomatoes have lycopene in them which is great for the immune system. Also if you get cider vinegar and add cayenne pepper and honey and water and drink that with lemon if you have it it's great.
That all sounds delicious please come round to cook it all up for me haha xx
My mum dies the same kind of way my mum had a perferated bowel and sepsis died 12 hours later , I ran a phone bill up ringing her to hear her voice so sad my ex did not like the cost of the bill so what can i say.
I’m so sorry xxxxxx
Well done doing all that cooking while feeling poorly. The banana skins are a revelation ...who'd have thought you could cook them. Let's hope that's the dreaded throat infection on it's way out eh. 🤒💐
You're in the UK, right? Many of us here in the US do as you are doing when we get sick. We take care of ourselves as best we can and white knuckle through it because of the cost. But don't you have basically free or extremely low cost healthcare? If so, maybe go get a look over and some fresh antibiotics specific to your ailment before you get pneumonia. Especially if you're still sick in the morning.
We have free healthcare in the UK but we have an aversion to seeking medical care. We don’t want to cause a fuss 😂
@her_diaries It's not free, nothing is.
Headache and chest cough/ sore throat sounds like you know what that begins with C xxx
I did two tests so apparently not but I think it could easily be Covid x
How are you doing? I hope your infection hasn't gotten worse. Wishing you well. xx
Mmm it got worse xx
Keep the cayenne pepper going! Massage it on your neck and on your glands! Hope your on the mend soon!
Thanks for the tip! Xx
Tomatoes contain Vit C so maybe that will help with the virus. Hope u soon get well and I’m sure the fresh food will help. Nice burgers and flatbread.
Thank you ahh that’s why I was craving tomatoes x
Theres avocado griwers in Spain, too. Found rhem via Crowdfarming ❤
Get well soon:)
Hope you feel better.
Thanks Naomi xx
I made some bread yesterday, tastes like a giant crumpet 😱. be kind to yourself lovely❤
Love crumpets tho
stay well
I’ll try x
What a trooper.
Thanks carol x
Arrr bless you you sound realy poorly hope that you feel brighter very soon.weve all had a virus felt very hot and sicky wasn't sick but felt sick .only lasted a day thank god x
Love your videos but we wont mind you skipping a day or two to rest up and maybe give your GP a buzz for antibiotics or review xx
Thank you! I’m lying in bed stuffed full of antibiotics be back hopefully tomorrow with a vid xx
Feel better from mb
Have you tested for COVID?
Yes, she has. She's negative.
Yeah did two tests xx
Perhaps just a nasty virus x
You really should see the doc about the chest infection. Keep healing yourself with good food in the meantime x
I went in the end xx
@@TheBudgetFoodie glad to hear that! 😌
I DO make my own bread. It is lush❣️ I get such a kick out of it...feel like I'm part of all the women in the world, who've done this to sustain their families for generations ❣️
I'm not really a feminist.
I know you said in a previous video that you tested negative for COVID with this illness. Symptoms sound a lot like it. I didn't test positive until after 6 days of feeling sick... tested negative until the 6th day, then positive. It doesn't change how someone would take care of themselves whether they have it or the flu, or some other kind of respiratory infection, but you might want to know possibly.
Done two tests now both say negative but I’m rubbish at doing them so it could well be x
Lady r get yourself to the docs asap. I know that i have been ill and not been near the docs but i feel myself improving health wise . i think you are doing all the right things but its just not enough and you need a little bit of additional help . Get yourself an early night and evaluate the situation in the morning. Shelia will always be with you in spirit but will not interfere in your day to day unless she really feels the need to in order to protect you from something someone or yourself otherwise she is doing exactly what a good parent would by letting you navigate your way through your own reality. Lady p has just gotten very deep but you know its because i care deeply. I fully expect a update in the morning otherwise you will feel my wrath xo
Thanks lady P I have been to doctors, they say I got pneumonia, now got antibiotics and sleeping tabs x

My channel is doing great, thank u next
Please postpone this challenge until you are well. Go to the doctor and have some bone broth.
bone broth is brilliant when you are ill. It has the nutrients you need!. I always have steak and egg if I feel ill, but I am rarely ill maybe once every 2 to 3 years.
💕😀xx oh, please Richenda go to the doctor. You could end up with permanent lung damage if you neglect an infection. 🙏🙏🙏
I went in the end Sue and saw a lovely nurse, nod got antibiotics xx
Go to the doctor, you need to look after yourself to look after Jack! You could be getting pneumonia!
Ok yes I shall xx
Wow, listening to someone cough wetly in an insane completely unedited stream of consciousness, and talking about vomiting, what a great idea for an appetizing food video.
Thanks Andy!
Are you always passive aggressive or do you occasionally realize that it’s not necessary to be a wank to strangers on the internet?
When you have turmeric you need to add black pepper so your body and absorb it, also try getting a cheap tin of jackfruit from lidl great meat alternative. You're amazing
Yes yes fab tip x
