In love with my Whipped Body Creme

Posted in General, New Products, Sales & Specials at 12:47 pm by Debra

Lack of modesty aside, I am completely smitten with my Whipped Body Creme. According to sales, and comments, so are you (thanks, by the way!)! But I have to say I am just a bit frustrated with my growing pains of this product. Why? Because every time I make a batch I swear I am going to set aside one for myself, and it always sells before I get a chance to use it . . .

Why dos this frustrate me (in a tongue-in-cheek way)? I am truly, deeply thrilled that you all love this product as much as I do, but I am literally scraping the beaters of my mixer in order to get any to use for myself! Now how is that for a very funny visual?

So today I am making another batch, a HUGE batch, and bringing my tin of Whipped Body Creme upstairs right away, digging in, and slathering it all over my body. Then I can’t sell it, and you all will just have to wait a day for the next batch if this one sells out fast too! :-)

Oh, just an aside here, get it while it is still on sale, because it won’t be for long . . .

Recipe: Balsamic Mustard Maple Vinaigrette

This is a tough one for me to share because I have honestly never measured, but we should all make things to our own tastes, anyway, right? I will approximate what I do and you can add, subtract, alter in any way you wish. If you have an innovative change, please comment; I’d love to hear about it!

2 TB cider vinegar (the raw, unfiltered, organic stuff)
1 TB balsamic vinegar
2.5 TB extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. maple syrup (grade B, full of flavor and nutrition)
1 tsp. stoneground or dijon mustard (I love the Westbrae Farms organic ones)
1/4 tsp. onion powder
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Whisk and serve!

I love this dressing on a mixed greens salad (arugala!) with slivered almonds, dried cranberries and a little crumbled gorgonzola.

Enjoy!
