Tumeric, Cinnamon and Ginger Almond Milk

-

Who isn't looking for that nice hot beverage to cuddle up with on these cold, cold evenings? Here is an easy version that can be whipped up in a giffy. I make my own almond milk and am always wanting to find ways to use it and this drink, suggested by Dr. Oz on one of his shows several weeks back has become a favorite of mine. It includes turmeric: a wonderful anti-inflammatory along with cinnamon: a great sugar balancer if you are prone to crave sweets, and a pinch of ginger. Add some raw honey if you crave a sweeter drink, or just leave it out. All is needed is a good book and some quiet....

Fill a cup with almond milk
Add: 1 tsp. of cinnamon
     1/2 tsp. of powdered turmeric
     1/8-1/4 tsp. of powdered ginger
     honey to taste, start with 1-2 tsp
Heat in microwave for 1 and 1/2 minutes, and then whisk to combine.

Art can be found in many forms. I always admire a person who can capture a sunset, or a mountain scene in a well crafted painting or photograph. I love a writer who can tell a good story where I fall in love with the characters in such a way, that I miss them when the story ends. But what is most beneficial to my soul is a preacher who can open up the scriptures and bring Jesus Christ to light my heart. Mike McKelvey is an artist preacher indeed. God has gifted him with a rare talent in crafting a sermon. Here is a link to a sermon he preached to First Baptist Church, Clinton, LA about two weeks ago. Mark 4:35-41 "A Clearer Picture of Jesus"

My Love for Mint

My Mint Garden I love mint! I love the smell of it. I love the taste of it and I love the calming affect it has on me when I crush a leaf between my fingers. It makes wonderful syrups to add into drinks and a soothing tea for stomach and nerves. The plant is easy to grow and comes in many varietes. Peppermint is still the best for medicinal purposes and spearmint for drinks or syrups. So easy to grow and so many uses! I have grown mints in large pots for years, dividing them every so often when they become root bound, thus creating more mint plants. I put my pots in a sunny location and water daily during the summer. Since I am using these plants in recipes, I make sure I use organic fertilizers to feed the plants. I harvest them as they grow and when they become very overgrown, I harvest a large amount to dry for teas. I dry in my oven at 100 degrees and store in glass jars. I dont't crush the leaves until I use them. Here are a few recipes that are my favorites. Tea for U
