Prep: 1 hr 15 mins

Cook: 20 mins

From warm drinks and spiked hot toddies to soups, there is always more than just one way to fight the cold winter blues. We at the school like to multi-task as much as possible, using dishes like Hunan Beef to not only warm up our insides and make our mouths happy, but using the spice from the chillies to boost our serotonin levels and keep our spirits lifted as well!
