Spinach Pear Salad

Had lunch with some friends this past week.  Delicious meal.  They served this delicious Spinach Pear Salad.  The salad was good but the dressing took it over the top.  I love poppy seed dressing but with the pear juice added it was amazing.  Just got the recipe and thought I would share...Enjoy!  I know I will.

Bentonite Clay Toothpaste





I noticed one day that my teeth had begun to get brittle.  My tooth literally just broke one day.  So I started looking up ways to strengthen my teeth.  I came across a few recipes combined added my own special touch and this is what I got.  I've been using this toothpaste for about 10 weeks.   Some recipes claimed whiter teeth.  Mine are possibly a little whiter (maybe more wishful thinking than reality) but my teeth feel clean, my breath seems fresh so I'm going with it!  I haven't been to the dentist yet for a check up and cleaning.  I'm going to wait until I've been using my toothpaste for about 6 months and then see how it goes.

For now here is the recipe:

1/3 Cup Bentonite Clay
1/4 Cup Boiling Water
1 T Coconut Oil
1/4 t Real Salt
Trace Mineral Drops - 15 drops
On Guard Essential Oil - 1 drop
Clove Essential Oil - 3 drops
Peppermint Essential Oil - 15 drops

Directions:
Boil water. Add all the ingredients except the Bentonite Clay and stir.
Add the Bentonite Clay and mix with hand mixer until combined.
It should be the consistency of clay.  Store in covered glass jar.

I bought the Bentonite Clay at my local health food store.  They sell 2oz containers which is about 1/3 of a cup.  I also got the Trace Mineral Drops from the health food store.  And I use Doterra Essential Oils.
