red hot applesauce

red hot applesauce recipe

I just ate the best applesauce shared by my aunt Jennie that was so tasty and easy!  I would have loved to share the recipe with you for Valentine's Day but it's never too late to add a little spice and excitement to your life, right?  If you have lots of winter apples or your applesauce this is an easy way to make it special:

heat your applesauce or apple slices (fresh or frozen is fine,a few cups) on simmer and add some red hot candies in, stir until they melt into the sauce. Serve up!

This is not only a tasty, low fat treat but it looks and smells beautiful too, with a rich pink color and cinnamon spice flavor.  Thanks Aunt Jennie!

spring tonic tea

T’s Tonics Spring Tonic Tea 

I know I get anxious as spring comes nearer to do some cleansing and "lighten up the load".  

Since I always like to know what the herbs I am putting in me are supposed to be a tonic for, I thought this might help you too.  You can create a similar tea of your own or e-mail me for this one.  

It is lovely anytime of year, but designed for spring issues, allergies and cleansing.  Licorice, anise and green tea make it a flavorful and pleasing tonic.  

Rejuvenate the body, purify the blood and cleanse the skin with all organic Spring herbs:

Green tea has powerful anti-oxidants that strengthen our immune systems, increase metabolism and energy and help fight bacteria.

Pau D’ Arco is high in calcium, a blood purifier and antifungal, helpful in fighting yeast infections and skin problems.

Fennel seed and Star anise are a catalyst for other herbs and helpful for the digestion.

Dandelion leaf is one of the best blood and liver cleansers and builders, high in vitamins and calcium, helps lower blood pressure and build endurance energy

Hyssop was used for cleansing and purifying in the Bible and is excellent for the skin.

Yarrow is good for flu and fevers, helps cleanse the glands, liver, kidney and bladder and dispel mucus in the system.

Red clover is high in minerals and is an excellent blood purifier.

Licorice root helps strengthen immune system, throat problems, and harmonizes herbs.
