Linda’s comment: A friend sent me this healthy cream mask….all I can say is WOWZIER…it feels WONDERFUL….this would be great for construction works too…ok, ok…we won’t tell anyone you did it, but you do want to keep that handsome face young looking, right??
AVOCADO CARROT CREAM Mask:
This mask combines avocados, which are rich in Vitamin E, with carrots, which are high in beta-carotene and antioxidants, and cream, which is high in calcium and protein. These ingredients will rebuild skin collagen, improve tone and texture, and fade age spots.
1 organic avocado, mashed
1 organic carrot, cooked and mashed
½ cup organic heavy cream
1 organic egg, beaten
3 tablespoons raw unheated honey

Linda’s comments: This recipe makes for a healthy, fresh spicy side dish. I made this for a “bring a covered dish” party and it was a hit….I also added organic “cherry” tomatoes and Feta cheese.
Ingredients
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss beets on a large piece of foil and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper then place another piece of foil over the top to form a pouch. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes until very tender. Allow beets to cool then rub off and discard the skins. Cut larger beets in quarters and smaller ones in half.
Blanch green beans in a large pot of salted boiling water for 2 minutes then plunge in ice water to shock. Drain and pat dry.
Make the dressing: Combine lemon juice, zest, honey and horseradish. Whisk while you add olive oil to lightly emulsify. Season with salt and pepper. Add beets and beans to the vinaigrette. Toss to coat everything evenly then serve showered with fresh grated horseradish.
