Like a drum

These are all good things, good things y’all. 

Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar {Immune Booster}

Our family has not been sick during this past cold and flu season.  This drink has really helped us to boost our immune systems.  Apple Cider Vinegar balances the bodies acids.  In it’s raw and organic form (Bragg) it provides healthy bacteria that boosts your bodies ability to fight off the icky stuff.  We drink the following health drink daily.  If we feel a bug coming on, we drink it up to 3 times a day.  The littles just take a shot. 

• 1 cup of cold water
• 1-2 teaspoons of Bragg ACV
• 1 teaspoon of pure maple syrup or local honey for sweetness.  *Bonus-local honey is a natural remedy for seasonal allergies.

Now I’m trying to sneak this Bragg immune booster into meals wherever I can.  My bestie, Liz, shared this simple fresh recipe a few years ago. It’s a good thing to sneak the Bragg ACV into;)

Strawberry Spinach Salad

Fresh spinach and sliced strawberries, dressed with:

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 T sugar
• 2 T Apple Cider Vinegar (just use Bragg’s here)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste

Another good thing, a sneaky good thing is the Moscow Mule.  This timeless classic is all the buzz in the LC Valley right now.  A fun new lounge opened up in Beautiful Downtown Lewiston (Brock’s) and this is one of their signature drinks.  A few weeks ago we tried one there and fell in love……the beautiful voice of Shanie Rales may have topped it off:)    My sweet friend Jen, made this drink at home, and inspired us to do the same.  Traditionally a moscow mule is served in a copper mug, which we do not have, but is a fun little detail if you do.  Chase came up with the following good thing recipe.  It simplifies things a bit, and is delicious.  We made them for our visiting family this week, and woop they sneak up on you.  Watch out!  But they are so fresh and delicious. 

Moscow Mule~simplified by Chase

• the juice of one small lime, or half of a large one.
• 1-2 shots of vodka
• a little bit of ice
• fill the container with Reeds Ginger brew (found at Rosauers huckleberries).

*Bonus:  Reeds ginger brew (non-alcoholic) is a natural remedy for nausea.  This would be an excellent mocktail to serve (sans vodka) for pregnant friends.
