Today I faced my great nemesis. We have fought on many, MANY occasions, and he is usually the victor. You are probably asking questions such as: “What is this secret super hero life you lead, Rachael?” “Who do you fight?” “What are your super powers?” Well, I’m just a simple artist with limited talent who fights drawing hands with every ounce of my being.

1 tablespoon of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar

1 tablespoon raw organic honey (preferably local)

Put all ingredients in your favorite morning mug. Stir with a spoon. You may have to adjust depending on your personal taste. I kinda like the sharpness of the vinegar, but you may need more honey to smooth the taste.

Am I a health and recipe blogger now? I’m going to say yes. Yes I am. Watch out, maybe tomorrow I’ll throw some fashion at you.
