Well, it’s that time of the year again.. October hasn’t even started and I’ve already caught my first cold! When I felt my cold coming on, the first thing I did was reach for some vitamin C (in the form of orange juice), cough drops, warm showers for the steam, and of course – Lysol, Lysol, and more Lysol! Although all of those remedies work pretty well, there is one special trick that has ALWAYS cured my cold – my mom’s homemade french toast.

Whenever myself or my siblings were sick with a cold or the flu, my mom would always whip up a batch of her magic french toast and to this day, I still have it when I’m sick and request it on occasion (I even made it when I caught bronchitis during my study abroad trip to Rome!) It’s not your normal french toast recipe with maple syrup or stuffed with cream cheese, this is MUCH better – just cinnamon, sugar, and eggs. That’s it! It always made me feel so much better (thanks Mom!), and it still does – it’s light on the stomach, and there’s nothing better than cinnamon and sugar for a cold
