TOMATILLO SALSA

My husband is seriously addicted to salsa and hot sauce. He puts it on…everything. Before even tasting the food, he’ll douse it with hot sauce. I’m convinced he has dead taste buds. That being said, he makes the best homemade salsas and this is one of my favorites.

GINGER, the cure-all pill:

Ginger has strong healing qualities and has historically played a central role in medicine, particularly in the East. In Ayurvedic medicine, ginger is known as vishwabhesaj, or “universal medicine”. It helps alleviate a wide variety of ailments – to name a few: colds and fevers, nausea, arthritic pain, intestinal parasites, menstrual discomfort, headaches. Ginger stimulates digestion and boosts circulation, respiration and nervous system function. It has a strong, maybe acquired taste for some, but I find it deliciously satisfying across many food applications. I often start the day with ginger-seeped hot water, an amazing way to brave a cold morning…great coffee replacement, especially on cold mornings!
