Hair of the Dog Breakfast

Print Pin

You wake up with a pounding headache and feel like a hairy dog. Yeah, overdoing it can happen to anyone. But what do you cook to help fix things?

Now, if you ask 100 people, they will give you 100 recipes. It has been a bone of contention among friends forever. The truth is, there is no one perfect cure for a hangover. Each person’s body responds differently.

There are a few generalities that come up again and again. The incredible egg helps breakdown toxins and provides protein. Carbs! This is one time when reaching for a carb won’t kill your diet. Think crackers, toast, rolls, and breadsticks. Carb-feeding balances the currently wonky blood sugar from alcohol.

Along a similar line, complex carbs are often comfort food. Have oatmeal. Mix it with a dollop of honey for energy.

Fruit bites. Melons have a lovely light flavor, bananas have potassium, pineapple, blueberries, and oranges all come to mind. You typically want to eat slowly, letting your body adjust. Add some yogurt to your blend.

Make it Your Own Hangover Recipe (4 one)

Ingredients

1 large egg
1/4 cup cooked (drained ground beef)
¼ cup cooked brown rice
1 slice of yellow American cheese (or other of your liking)
2 pieces bacon (drained)
2 pieces of toast
Side: Hash browns
If your stomach can tolerate spices, a little Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder perk this up. Some folk like hot sauce, but that may be going a tad far.

Instructions

Cook the ground beef, drain it, and set aside
Cook the rice and mix the beef into it
Toast the bread
Add one slice of cheese on one side
Pile the rice and burger mix on top
Follow with bacon **
Smush the sandwich down so it doesn’t spill out
Microwave for 30 seconds to warm the meat and rice.
** You can substitute a sweet sausage pattie

Notes

As a reminder, you will need to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Drink ginger or mint tea to settle your stomach. Coconut juice is an option, as is plain water.
