Whoa. It’s been a doozy at my house the past 2 days with stomach virus. None of us escaped it! Hydration is sometimes your only & best strategy for these times. I made a garlic-ginger-lemonade for us all this morning - something soothing and healing to drink that will gently combat pathogens. The kids and I will drink this cup by little cup until our appetites come home. Making a garlic infusion like this is great for viral or bacterial bugs - whether it be respiratory or digestive. 💛
.
Garlic- Ginger- Lemonade: Mince 2 large cloves of fresh garlic and place them in pitcher. Add 5 slices fresh ginger. Fill the vessel with boiling water and cover for 30 minutes. Strain out the garlic & ginger, and to the liquid add the juice of 1 ½ whole lemons. Sweeten to taste with honey (~ 1 tbsp more or less to taste). Serve warm and offer as much to the “patient” as they will drink. :)

Broccoli rabe is one of my favorite bitter vegetables and I wanted to show it some love and mention exactly why it’s so wonderful &, I’ll even say, essential for us to eat bitter greens like these.
