Zits Be Gone


Cinnamon, nutmeg and Manuka honey are antiseptic, antibacterial powerhouses for acne with many healing properties! Cinnamon brings blood and oxygen to the surface to open pores and dries out trouble areas. Nutmeg helps soothe pain and inflammation, while removing blackheads. Honey nourishes skin cells while reducing the appearance of scars and fine lines. Try my recipe below!

2 Ingredient Treats


Baked Apple Chips


It’s so easy to make apple chips, all you need is apple slices and one ingredient....cinnamon!

1. Cut apples into slim slices, about 1/8 inch.  (I never measure; I just slice them as thin as I can.)


2. Place them on a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or they may stick). Make sure they are not overlapping.

3. Sprinkle with cinnamon (you do NOT need to add sugar, apple chips are already sweet!)

4. Bake at 250 degrees for about 2 hours, until crisp.

5. You can flip them after 1 hour and add more cinnamon, but I usually do not flip mine and they still come out great!


How Long Do Apple Chips Last?


You are going to want to eat them right out of the oven, but in case you do not finish them, you can store them in an airtight container in a cool place and they should last 2 days. 



Experiment With These Added Spices:


Ginger, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, or allspice.
