Firstly, what are some good "sick foods" to make, besides chicken soup?
Symptoms are headache, sore throat, fatigue, slight sore throat, slight fever/chills.

Secondly, does anyone know a good website that has lists or charts healthy subsitutions to baking/cooking?
For example, I've heard that applesauce/mashed bananas are be used as oil in baking

Hmmm. My vegan friends use applesauce/mashed bananas as substitutes for the eggs in baking. I don't know if you can use them to replace the oil, which I think is kind of crucial in those boxed mixes that usually call for oil (texture/flavour might turn out all wrong). You might be able to replace some of the oil with applesauce, but not all; I'd try replacing a third with applesauce and see what happens.

In many cases, unsweetened applesauce can be directly substituted for oil, shortening, or butter, resulting in dramatic reductions in both fat and calorie content.
