Ginger

Here's a tip from my cousin, Christie. If you have leftover ginger, peel it and put it in the freezer. It keeps almost forever and you can grate it straight out of the freezer. I also learned from Rachel Ray, that you can rub off the skin of the ginger root with a teaspoon. Very easy. Now I will always have ginger on hand!

A slice of ginger root with some boiling water, some lemon juice, and a little honey also makes a lovely warming tea. Ginger is good for digestion and helps decrease motion sickness.
