Super Yummy Avocado Tomato dressing/dip

Last night for dinner I wanted a creamy dressing for the salad that didn't use overt fats and I have a family that loves avocado on their salad... so I put the two together and came up with the following dressing. It was fabulous both on the salad and on our very colorful veggie potatoes (red potatoes mashed with shredded veggies mixed in).
1 Tomato
1 avocado
2 celery ribs
2 cloves garlic
1/8 tsp sea salt
1 tsp Penzey's Pasta sprinkle (more if desired)

Blend the above in the vitamix and enjoy.

Remedies in your Kitchen

Today I did a class locally on herbal remedies in your kitchen... I hope those who attended got something out of it! In the next couple of days, I will post some of the questions that I got that I didn't get a chance to answer.

For today, I will leave with 1 question.

The question was what to do about bruising.

Personally I have always bruised easily. I remember as a child I constantly had bruised legs. Even as an adult, I have continued to bruise quite easily. It has not, for me, been an issue of not enough iron etc. I found that Red raspberry leaf tea EVERY day helped to clear the bruising. I have had the least bruising during my 2 pregnancies where I drank red raspberry leaf religiously every day.
