ACV is Good For You! Here's a Quick and Easy Apple Cider Vinegar Recipe

You've undoubtedly seen many articles circulated about the marvelous health benefits of apple cider vinegar. When some people sing its praises, they call it "nature's miracle".  Based on my ACV experience, I can only say: They ain't kidding! This stuff is really good for you!!

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a versatile product with a myriad of uses. The health benefits include controlling blood sugar and aiding digestion. It can be used for household cleaning, such as disinfecting and deodorizing. As a pamper-yourself beauty treatment, for detoxifying and relaxing, add a cup of ACV to your bath water. Do you have a problem with annoying fruit flies? A small bowl of apple cider vinegar with a few drops of dish soap makes an inexpensive and excellent fly trap. Diluted apple cider vinegar can even repel fleas on your pets. 

But mainly, it's great for food and cooking. Here are the three (3) best ways to use apple cider vinegar (ACV):
  1. As a base for homemade salad dressings.
  2. To add flavor and help tenderize meat in marinades.
  3. To pickle or preserve vegetables or fruits.

Don't you love it when something is good for you, it tastes good, and you can use it on more food that's good for you ... like a healthy salad?
