Lemon and Ginger tea

I have been using ginger for 3 weeks now in juices and cooking and have been in a lot less pain. Today I woke up in loads of pain though. Everything has seized up. My back feels like its been kicked in. My arms are heavy. My legs are stiff and really hurt. It sucks.

Ginger is a natural pain relief and anti inflammatory. Paracetamol doesn't touch my pain and neither does codeine and I don't really want to be on super strong pain relief. I need to live. I need to work. I cant be a zombie. 

This morning I am having ginger and lemon hot tea, with a twinning's lemon tea bag. I just chopped up the ginger into chunks and slices the lemon, squeezed the lemon juice out then poured hot water over it. Its super healthy, and delicious.

no expert but the ginger speeds up your weight loss and usually helps with pain, lemon is a natural detoxer and hot water is supposed to be good for you right ?

Try including ginger in your diet if your in pain. 

So not to waste the ginger and lemon you can make a few drinks out of it, just use more hot water and pour again. Simple :)

My. Dessert. Saturday. Night.

I have been making a lot of juices with pineapple in recently but was missing EATING pineapple. I always used to eat pineapple with passion fruit but wanted to mix it up. I remember a few years ago my brother made me grilled pineapple with mint. Tonight I made it again.

Ingrediants 

One large pineapple

Mint

Brown Sugar

Method

Cut the skin off the pineapple, of course, no one wants to eat pineapple skin.

Cut the pineapple how ever you want it. I would suggest either thick wedges or slices like I did. 

For slices, top and tale the pineapple. Get rid of that hard bit. Then simple lay it down and cut. You'll get nice circles. Mine were roughly a centimeter thick. 

Either head up your griddle or turn the grill on. If your cooking under the grill line your grill tray with foil.

Lay the pineapple slices out on the tray.

Finely chop your mint. By doing this you release the flavor a lot more. 

Sprinkle the pineapple slices with a little bit of brown sugar then equally divide your chopped mint between all the slices and sprinkle it on top of the pineapple.

Put your tray under the grill for around 10 minutes.

Keep an eye on it, you don't want burnt pineapple !

Your pineapple will go nice and soft, caramelized and  will be simply delicious ! 

This is a lovely guilt free sweet dessert. I had mine on its own but you could serve it with fat free natural yogurt.

Enjoy your pineapple, its a super food !
