A homemade vinaigrette: "I always say, if the dressing is the only thing on the plate that's homemade, your meal is still going to sing," says Rosenstrach. In an old jam jar, add 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, salt and pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice; shake. Add 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, and shake again. Serve, and keep the rest in the fridge. Your own marinade: "Marinating is your best friend," says Rosenstrach. "It makes the end result so much more flavorful."

Restless Leg Relief is a blend of essential oils, magnesium, and coconut oil to calm and soothe legs to help you relax and help you to fall asleep. This blend also promotes restful sleep. It can be hard to rest or sleep when your legs feel restless, twitchy, like you just can't stop moving them. The oils in this blend help calm and relax the leg muscles. They are also nervine to help calm the nervous system to promote relaxation throughout your body. Stress can exacerbate the problem, so the oils in this blend also help address stress and promote a calm mind. I first made this blend for myself, as I had started having a lot of difficulty with my legs and feet not wanting to stay still at night. This blend keeps me calm and relaxed all night, and I no longer have any difficulty at all. I have occasional nights where I know my legs are not going to cooperate, and I simply roll this blend over the bottom of my feet before bed and have no difficulty sleeping. This blend will probably last you about 4-6 months. After using it daily for a month or two, you will probably then be able to use it only a couple of times a week or simply on an as-needed basis. The longer you use it, the better it works. :-) I have a number of very happy customers and friends who use this blend. One friend who I gave this blend to said that it helps both her and her husband sleep better, because her restlessness had been interrupting both of their sleep. :-) Here is a testimonial I received from a lady who purchased my Restless Legs Roller and Comfort Cream at the Farmer's Market one weekend. She sent me the following message: "Just a note to let you know I used both my new cream and roll on (Restless Legs) last night at bedtime. I slept the whole night without restless legs or pain and it was a long restful sleep! It has been years since I slept all night! I also love the scent, it's so soothing...like aromatherapy! Thank you so much for suggesting these products, I am more than pleased with the results and I will be buying more as needed. God bless!" Here are some more testimonials from customers: "Yes!! I love this roller. It's made a huge difference in my sleeping habit." "We sleep so much better since my husband started using it! The man used to keep us both up all night." To use: Simply roll on the bottom of feet about 20 minutes before bed to relax the muscles in the legs and feet and encourage deep, restful sleep. Ingredients: Organic coconut oil, magnesium oil, organic basil, organic lavender, organic cedarwood, organic chamomile, organic marjoram.
