Cold Sore Remedy

I have a child who regularly gets cold sores, especially after being sick with a cold or fever.  I've tried various treatments and have found a couple that work, but they take days to heal completely.  I finally tried a home remedy with some oils I already have and use on a daily basis.  I mixed 2 tsp. of coconut oil with 4-5 drops of tea tree oil and put a very tiny amount on the cold sore.  The next day the cold sore was dried out and scabbed over.  The 3rd day, it was gone! 

A few days later, my oldest child came to me with a new cold sore.  I applied the oils and the next day, gone!  I am so thrilled and want to pass on the information for other cold sore sufferers.  Cold sores are a nuisance! 

 

 

Enchilada Rolls

This is one of my all time favorite recipes.  I remember my mom making them when I was growing up and I've passed my love for them onto my kids.  They are quite versatile.  I've made them a few different ways and even tried a chicken verde version that was fabulous.  But this is very close to the original recipe my mom always made and is my favorite version.


Ingredients

1/2 jar chopped green olives
1 can chopped black olives
1/2 can red enchilada sauce
1 green pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
1-1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese (Mexican blend is also great!)
1/2 cube melted butter
1 dz. hard rolls (medium/large)

Slice open the top of the hard rolls and remove the inside.  Mix all other ingredients into a medium bowl, stuff into rolls, and cover with top.

 

Wrap each roll in aluminum foil as you go along.  Then place all rolls in a 350 degree oven.

 

 

 

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.  If I double the recipe, I bake for 30 minutes.

 

Once they're done, take them out with tongs so you don't burn your fingers and let them cool for a few minutes.  

 

Unwrap and enjoy!

 

 

 

Clean up is a breeze!  Just wad the foil up! ☺

 

 

They make great campfire dinners as well.  Put them over some hot coals or throw them on a hot BBQ grill for a few minutes. 

 

They are delightful!
