Winter is the time for lots of clothing, wishing electricity wasn’t so expensive in Ontario so you could turn on the heating more and hot food. Lots of hot food. Preferably whilst smuggled up with a favourite pillow or stuffed friend on your Lazy Lounge Sofa.
What are some ways you keep warm in winter?
My favourite warm-me-up tactic is a huge bowl of savory or sweet dessert soup or a cup of tea. Or all three. Yum.
I try to use more ginger in my cooking when the weather is cold as the humble root helps to warm you up from inside out. It is also really good for you.
Ginger goes really well with sweet potato for a sweet end to a meal that’s healthy too.
Ingredients:
2 cups sweet potato cubes
Approximately 1 inch knob of ginger (add more if you like it spicier)
Honey or sugar to taste
Preparation:
1. Peel and cut sweet potato into cubes.
2. Peel ginger and slice into smaller pieces.
3. Put sweet potato and ginger into a pot. Cover with water and bring to boil. Lower heat and continue simmering till sweet potatoes are soft and cooked through.
4. Add sugar or honey to taste.
