Quick Guacamole Recipe

Quick Guacamole

You need 5-10 minutes of time to prepare it.

Mix the following ingredientsGuacamole 810

          • 2 avocados
          • ¼ of onion
          • 3-4 cloves of garlics
          • 1/2 tomato
          • juice of half lemon (and some peel)
          • fresh coriander
          • 1/6 jalapeno pepper (optional)

My “secret” ingredient is the lemon peel that contains even more nutrients and health benefits than the lemon juice. I add around 1 square cm of peel which gives the guacamole a very special taste that all my family adores.

Blend everything and your guacamole is ready.

You can add some salt and pepper.

DIY Anti-age Facial Cream, Natural Skin Care, Quick & Easy DIY Beauty Recipes

5 Min. Anti-Aging Facial Cream

Get rid of your expensive and toxic facial creams and make your own!

Get rid of your expensive anti-aging creams – most of them, even the most expensive brands, contain toxic and cancerogenic ingredients!

You can make your own anti-aging cream that is highly nourishing and has some outstanding anti-rid properties.

You can’t use lack of time as an excuse  as you really  need only 5 minutes which is what it takes to mix the ingredients together 🙂

You will need: Coconut oil, vitamin E, essential oils of Rosewood or Rosa damascena,  Citron, Lavender, Rosemary essential oils.

And if you don’t have the time to make and learn about it we can gladly make it for you – follow this link Belle Comme Une Rose

Caution

      • Please ensure that you are not allergic to the essential oil of your choice. To prevent any unexpected allergic reactions, please perform a skin patch test.
      • If you intend to use the cream during the day, avoid the citrus  oils as they can leave marks on your skin when exposed to the direct sunlight.

Steps

Mix in a small glass or ceramic recipient

  • 2 tablespoons (30-35ml) of organic VIRGIN Coconut oil.
  • 1 capsule of vitamin E (pierce it and squeeze in)
  • 10-12 drops of different organic pure essential oils depending on your preference. For example, a combination of Rosewood Oil (or Rosa damascena essential oil if you can afford it), Citron essential oil (all famous for their anti-wrinkle properties), Lavender and Rosemary.  If your skin is prone to acne, you may want to add couple of drops of tea tree essential oil because of its unique disinfecting and soothing properties.
  • Mix everything well with a wooden spoon.  Transfer it in a small glass jar with a lid.
  • Before applying to the face take a small quantity (really small!) of the cream, put it on your palm and dilute with few drops of tonic or hydrolate or plain water – I occasionaly use Rosa damascena hydrolate. Your skin type should dictate how much tonic/water you’d need, obviously more tonic if your skin type is mixed or oily.

The cream will keep fresh up to a year, just make sure you don’t touch it with wet fingers. It is not necessary to refrigerate,  just keep it in a dry area, temperature below 25.  If it is too warm it will start to melt so in that case  you may want to store it in the fridge.

Enjoy your new, nature-powered look in the mirror.

Bone Broth, Quick Healthy Recipes

Bone Broth Improves Digestion and Reduces Inflammation

Bone Broth RecipeBone Broth Recipe

Bone broth rightly can be called a “superfood” due to its ability to improve digestion and help reduce join pain and inflammation.

Bone broth contains high amounts of calcium, magnesium, and other nutrients that play an important role in healthy bone formation.

The gelatin found in bone broth supports the proper digestion.

Chondroitin sulfates, glucosamine, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and other compounds extracted from the boiled cartilage are easily absorbable and play a role in reducing joint pain and inflammation.

Amino acids found in bone broth have  anti-inflammatory effects.

Ingredients

  • 700-800gr of bones from organically raised, grass-fed animals. You can use beef bones, but you can also make bone broth using whole organic chicken, whole fish (including the head) or fish bones. You can even use bones from a roasted chicken or turkey that you would normally throw away.
  • 1 kg of vegetables: celery, carrots, parsnip, onions, potato
  • Garlic (7-8 cloves)
  • Piece of ginger
  • Tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • Himalayan or sea salt
  • Herbs and spices according to your preference. I use Mediterranean  variation: dried parsley, oregano, thyme, basil etc.

Preparation Time

  • Half an hour to prepare and 10-24 hours to simmer on low heat.

Steps

  • Fill the bottom of the slow cooker or heavy-bottom pot with vegetables
  • Add bones, garlic, piece of ginger, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and herbs and spices
  • Cover everything with filtered water and simmer over low heat for at least 10 hours. Larger bones may require 24+ hours.  If you cook whole chicken, remove the meat after couple of hours and continue following the recipe.
  • Strain when done, add salt and serve with some freshly chopped parsley and minced garlic for added flavor.
  • You can store it in fridge up to 5 to 7 days or in freezer up to 6 months for use in soups or stews.
