Denise's Tricks N' Tips
*For generations, New Englander's have taken a daily a tot of vinegar as a morning ritual. Why? Because unfiltered apple cider vinegar can help support immune function and digestive functions. I was recently turned on to locally-made Shire City Herbals Fire Cider (click to learn more). Love the kick and flavor -- it can be used in dressings and even cocktails!
