The next time you are making instant oatmeal, do you yourself a favor, add a little ginger to the mix. you will thank me for it.

Being the Haitian that I am, I always add "cannelle" (cinamon) and "anetwale" (star anise) to my oatmeal but recently I decided to make a switch and use ginger instead.

Ginger contains some powerful medicinal properties. Add that to oats which are incredibly nutritious and you have a good-for-you breakfast or supper.

So try it, then tell me what you think about it.
