Add baking soda to tomato sauce.
If you don’t want to add sugar to a pot of marinara sauce but the tomatoes are a bit acidic, add a little baking soda. Simply stir 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon into the pot and cook for a few minutes to take the bite out of the flavor.

The Wellness Mindset ~ Recipes: Creamy Cilantro Avocado Dressing
Today, on my main blog, I discussed the benefits of 1 daily avocado in relation to dementia prevention. So, I thought it only right to include at least one avocado recipe here.
I love avocado, but my better half does not. I’d like to try and incorporate this healthy fruit into our daily diet, but I’ll have to get creative. Why do I want to incorporate it? There are many proven health benefits. Each day this week, I’ll list 2 different health benefits AND, post a video, showcasing a different way to use this amazing plant.
Health Benefits of avocados (1)
- AIDS IN WEIGHT LOSS
- Keeps you full longer
- Eat fewer calories
- MORE POTASSIUM THAN BANANAS
- most people don’t get nearly enough potassium and many may be deficient. Avocados are high in potassium, which helps maintain healthy blood pressure.

Quickly ripen your fruit!
Cooking tip of the day:
“Here’s a trick you’ll like. Grab a brown paper bag and pop the unripe fruit inside along with a banana. Put in a dark place, and the banana will speed up the ripening process of the other fruit.” ~ Gordon Ramsey

Cooking tip of the day:
“Always, always start off with cold water, never boiling. That way – by the time the centre of the potatoes are cooked, the outside won’t be falling apart.” ~ Gordon Ramsey
