    challenge 3 I drink ginger and cumin with powdered greens every morning to lessen body pain.
    I also tried nutmeg in my hot chocolate.
    The morning drink works for me and pain. The nutmeg was an OK change.

    Ginger
    Today's menu is stir fried chicken with ginger and spring onions. This was served with broccoli, carrot, peppers and noodles.
    This is a regular meal and we love the settling effect ginger has on our stomachs.

    CHALLENGE #3 complete
    I went through my spices and surprisingly found an unopened container of Nutmeg?
    I opened and sprinkled abit on some unsweetened applesauce.
    I usually sprinkle cinnamon on my applesauce, and prefer that over Nutmeg. The Nutmeg tasted like wood.

    I think Jamaica is pretty great also. My favorite activity while there was climbing the waterfall. It was awesome!

    That's so neat. I hope to go one day and climbing a waterfall is definitely one of the first things I HAVE to do.

    I'm loling at all the embarrassed kids and twerking. Keira loves her booty twerks. It's so fun. My kids haven't gotten to the embarrassed stage yet, thankfully. I'm still cool. Haha

    I made scrambled eggs and sprinkled Thym on them instead of basil, I liked it and my daughter did too. I also made turkey burgers and used allspice as some of the seasoning, I loved the new flavor of the burger and it went well with a grilled turkey burger.

    I made ginger tea.
    I usually have Chai tea, but I have heard that ginger is good for muscular aches and pains so I thought I would give it a try.
    I have had it for two days and so far I can’t tell a difference, but I do like the taste. :)

    Challenge #3:

    I put ginger in a version of the Good Girl Moonshine from the Trim Healthy Mama cookbook. I was worried that that ginger would be overpowering, but it balanced nicely with all the other ingredients. It was a nice surprise to enjoy! I will definitely be making this and other versions again in the future. :smiley:

    CHALLENGE 3

    I made stir-fry with turkey breast and chinese vegetables (from the freezer) yesterday. I added escallions and ginger to it.
    I often use escallions, they are milder than onions, and I like the green. The ginger worked okay, too, although next time I'll take a bit more of it, it was overpowered by the soy sauce. But generally, it turned out very good.

    I attempted challenge 2 today - that was a laugh! PST of it was ok and the stretching did make me feel good. However, there is no way I can balance on my feet crouched right down with bent knees like Jessica does - she doesn't wobble at all ! My knees are far too damaged to even try and attempt such a move. I did most of the rest so have allocated my 10 points - please remove if you feel this is not completed.

    Happy Friday Everyone!

    @Rigibann .. You weren't the only one not attempting the frog move, but the remaining workout was great.

    My balance doesn't even come close to Jessica's. I can hardly balance on one foot but I give it my best shot, thats all we need to do!

    Challenge #3 - Ginger
    I made a Spicy Chinese Beef recipe that used fresh ginger, but instead of grated or diced, it used whole medallions. When you bit into them, there was quite a kick. I would have preferred to grate the ginger and spread the flavour throughout. I do like ginger though, especially in Asian inspired dishes.

    Challenge #3 I decided to have thyme on our homemade pizzas (Friday night treat).

    I usually go a little overboard with chilli's so this toned it down quite nicely!

    CHALLENGE #3
    I made ginger tea.

    I usually have green tea or orange spice but I thought I would retry it for this challenge. I tried it when I was pregnant years ago because it is suppose to help nausea but I didn't like it.

    I still don't like it. It tastes awful and I wasn't able to finish the whole cup but I wish I did like it if it is healthy for us.

    CHALLENGE #3

    @MissionEnforcer

    I told my brother about this challenge and he made me some ginger tea. He loves the stuff and is always trying to get me to drink it and he finally did. I've heard ginger is good for the stomach, and I do tend to have a sensitive tummy. So I drink it for a few days, and I think it helped with my ongoing tummy tingles, but I could only drink it after I flooded it with honey. So, if my brother makes it again, I'll drink it, but I won't go out of my way to make it.

    Hi team, sorry I've been so MIA, my daughter has been a bit under the weather, so I've had the grandkids a lot more, and boy, by the time they are in bed, I'm right behind them! For those people that work full time, and have a family to raise and a home to run, and still have time and energy for this, or any challenge, my hats off to you! You all are my inspiration....

    Thank you @GrandmaJackie for catching my mistake. I would have hated missing points for our team just because of not formatting it correctly. :)
