Recipe Roundup: Ginger

This month's ingredient: Ginger!  Why?  Not only does ginger spice up any dish, it is one of nature's medicines. And, doctors now think that ginger has the potential to prevent some cancers.  Whether chopped in big bits in a cookie, blended into a rich sauce, infused into a drink, or dressing up an earthy soup, ginger is sure to surprise your taste buds this winter!  Give these a try and let me know what you're cooking!
