Flu/cold tea bombs

Chop 1 clove of fresh garlic as small as you can.
Chop 1/2 inch of fresh ginger as small as you can.
Cut 1 lemon in half.
Using a coffee mug, add garlic and ginger and then squeeze one-half lemon.
Add in a half a teaspoon of Tumeric.
Add in a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Add in 1 teaspoon of raw honey.
Lastly, add 2 cups of boiling water and mix.
Once the water has cooled down, I drink the warm mixture. It sometimes helps me to put the mixture into a shot glass and take shots throughout the day.

NOTE: Make big batches and freeze extras. Just add hot water when it’s needed.

Tip of the Day
When prepping for power outages (hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms)...

● Fill up ziploc bags of water and put them in your freezer around your food/milk.

● Don't throw out those old water bottles! Fill those up (most of the way, but leave room for expansion) and pack those around too.

A full freezer keeps things frozen MUCH longer than a partially full freezer in the event of a power outage.

● If you have frozen breast milk and the power goes out, keep in mind that as long as the bags still have ice crystals (slush) in them THEY CAN BE REFROZEN! Don't throw out your stash because they thaw a little.

CRAB-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

3.5 oz lump crab meat
2 oz part-skim mozzarella
1 clove garlic, minced
1 T green onions, finely diced
1 T red bell pepper, finely diced
1 T grated parmesan cheese
1/4 t ground black pepper
1/4 t dried dill w**d
1 1/4 cups mushroom caps

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove stems from mushrooms and wash and dry the caps. Place stem-side up in a rectangular glass dish that has been sprayed with PAM.
In a small bowl, combine crab meat, mozzarella, garlic, green onions, bell pepper, black pepper and dill w**d in a small bowl. Stir gently to combine, trying to avoid breaking up the lumps of crab as much as possible. Fill the mushroom caps with the mixture, pressing it firmly into the caps, and mounding it on top. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the stuffed mushrooms. Bake for 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly browned and the cheese has melted.
