It' s getting super cold, really fast in Toronto. I have started to drink this lemon/ginger goodness to keep me strong this winter. I find myself not reaching for the cough syrup or soothing lozenge for my throat on days when I drink this.

You will need: The juice of 1/2 lemon Half a ginger,  sliced 1 teaspoon honey  1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon turmeric 1 cup hot water

Let’s begin:  In a mug, combine the lemon juice,ginger, cinnamon, turmeric and honey. Fill up the mug with hot water and let steep for 2-3 minutes. Enjoy!

quick snacks: go bananas

Baking // 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Okay so I'll admit: I suck at cooking and baking. There are many things in life I took interest in like origami, fixing garage doors, locks, putting together ikea furniture. But put me in the kitchen and the most you could get me to do is make a pb+j sandwich and maybe a decent bowl of ramen noodles. Maybe. But this recipe for is completely 'Jill Proof'
