Caribbean Avocado Pear


Avocado

This delicious fruit is packed with essential potassium, fiber, Vitamin C, B-6 and monounsaturated fat.  Though the fat content of the avocado is high, the fat that it contains is referred to as healthy fat, monounsaturated fatty acids which is the type of fat said to help in the reduction of bad cholesterol levels in ones blood which in turn causes lower risk of heart disease and stroke.  So on that note, how about adding avocado slices to your salad or using avocado as a spread on your sandwich, or make a creamy vinaigrette avocado dressing.

Avocado Vinaigrette

1 small avocado
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar in the raw
1/3 tsp unflavored yougurt/sour cream
1/4 cup purified/distilled water

Mash avocado in a bowl.  Add all the other ingredients then wish till smooth or put all in your blender or magic bullet and viola!

Pain in your foot or hand soak {Edible Soak}

  • Cayenne Pepper
  • Ground Cloves
  • Coconut Oil
  • Warm/hot water (Not too hot as may cause skin irritation while getting rid of the pain)
This mixture can be added to a foot basin or in a bowl for the hand.  Soak for about 10-15 minutes.

Ginger Ginger great for a Multitude of stomach ailments


So I woke up in the morning to a punch in the stomach, and heartburn.  This one ran to the middle of my chest down the the top of my belly button.  An hour later I am at work laughing and playing with my toddlers.  What did I do?  Good old natural Ginger root tea.  16 oz worth would do the trick, along with drinking 12 ounces of room temperature water before and after drinking the tea.

Tea:
  • 1/2 a thumb size of Ginger root coarsely grated, pounded, or thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 32 oz water.
In a small pan, put water and ginger to boil until water is reduced to half the amount.  Add sweetener and sip.  Just the action of sipping this brew will make you feel like you are snuggling under your favorite blanket that you just laundered.  Inside and outside comfort
