Winterizing Our Foods-A Simple And Healthy Action

December through March will bring colds and flu to many, and while the flu is a different bug than the common cold, it still pays to do all we can to make it un-welcome.

One way is to boost our immune system with the proper herbs and spices that warm our bodies and makes certain germs want to live someplace else.

Cayenne pepper, garlic, onions, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, oregano, rosemary and sage are just a few of the immune boosters that work well in winter foods.

I know you are thinking Cayenne pepper is “hot”, well, yes, it is…but, that is the ingredient that will keep the bugs away….and if you use it spareling, it isn’t too hot at all.

Garlic, onions, and oregano can be cooked into almost anything. Rosemary and Sage are both great holiday herbs for meats and breads…and they both make an awesome tea. And, I don’t have to tell you how many ways you can use ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.

One of my favorite ways is to add them to a small pot of water on top of the stove and steep until all the water is gone. Fills the house with a fabulous holiday scent and makes your breathing easier and healthier.

Experiment this season, add a dash of cayenne to a cup of hot chocolate on a cold windy day and you will be warm as toast in no time.

Oregano cookies are one of my holiday favorites also. You can find the recipe on my blog if you like. http://beasbeatitudes.blogspot.com
