Apple Cider Vinegar Cocktail
"ACV has a ton of health benefits. You must use only Organic Apple Cider Vinegar which contains which contains the "mother of vinegar". I use Bragg ACV which you should be able to find at any health food store. Some people say it can help control your blood sugar, aid in digestion, it is said to be a natural lowerer of bad cholesterol, it has long been promoted as a remedy for arthritis ( the National Arthritis Foundation says apple cider vinegar has not been proven effective against arthritis but it can't hurt to try). Also many people claim it is a powerful weight loss aid allowing them to lose weight more quickly as it revs up your metabolism and contains a slew of amazingly beneficial vitamins, including B6, which is long known for its energy benefits.
One thing about ACV of course is that you must make sure your dental hygine is good as the acid in ACV can eat the tooth enamel.
Now, I am NOT a substitute for your medical professional only they can provide you with advice on what is safe and effective for your unique needs or diagnose your particular medical history.
This is how I get my ACV in daily, and I actually like the taste."

Pretty tasty! On another diet and was wondering why can't I lose weight easily? I mean I lose everything else without a problem. -
Please dont ever forget to add cinnamon stick or a shake of cinnamon powder!! It always makes apple cider (any apple anything) taste 1000x better and has its own medicinal benefits for diabetics and reducing inflammation itself. 1-2 cloves also is a perfect touch to bring in a warm flavor. Make a batch, keep it in the fridge, pour a glass warm in the microwave and have an easy cup of hot apple cider vinegar every evening.. Life is good. and gets better with this!

I love the taste of this and since it is supposedly very healthy, I will drink it sometimes. I did not add ice as it is better for the body that it's not cold. I do stress the teeth brushing after as it does wear down tooth enamel. I used a good organic apple cider vinegar from the health food store and chose the honey option as it is healthier for us at least. I will make this again.

I grew up in Tucson but moved to Colorado in 1989 and live in a household with my husband, Dad, daughter and 3-year old twin granddaughters. Our 8-year old grandson spends 2 nights a week with us. All of that adds up to often difficult menu ideas to met everyone's tastes.
Zaar is very addicting and I love trying the recipes I find here. I like to find recipes of people that I see are still active on Zaar and love it when I hear back from the Chef after I review the recipe. Everytime someone reviews one of my recipes, I like to find one of theirs to make and review as quickly as possible. It's a way for me to find great chefs I don't know yet too!
My husband has high blood sugar so we try to watch our carbs, but it is not easy because we love them so much!
I was diagnosed with brain tumors in 2005 and so far have had 5 surgeries that have left my eyelid droopy. I hope to have a surgery that will correct that soon!! There is still one tumor they have not removed but my wonderful doctor James Garrity at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN says they will leave it alone until or if it ever causes problems!
