Avocados are the native fruit to the Northern parts of Mexico, and South central America. All the way into the western south america. And into the south of Andean Peru. Avocados varies in size, and have darker completion skin, and contain a larger seed. Which you can later plant.

Why now it's time to give you the tips on how to start, your own avocado plant.

1. Remove and clean the seed: You'll need to start by removing the pit from the avocado carefully (making sure you do not cut into it), and then wash it with soap and water. ( while the seed is still wet remove the outer darker skin, by peeling it off.)

2. Figuring the top from the bottom: like when Living Better Cafe explained in the history that, some avocados varies in size. So, that will also sometime make figuring where the top and bottom is located. So, when it comes to finding the top from the bottom, The top is pointer, and the bottom is flat. Once you have gotten that all figured out, it's time to find tooth picks, or in the picture, Katrina had use paper clips, which will work fine to.

3. Push three or four tooth picks in the widest part of, the avocado so it can have some room to suspend the pit over a glass of water with the pointy side sticking up. The water should cover about an inch of the seed.

4. Temperature: Place the glass in a warm place, and make sure the water stays leveled.

5. Surprise: Within 2-6 weeks you will begin to see roots and stems, coming from the seeds. when the stem reaches six inches long, you will need to trim it in half.

6. It's a....? : When the stem starts to grow leaves, its time to transport the seed in to a pot with loose, and gritty soil. You will need to plant the seedling root down, leaving the top half of the seed sticking out of the soil.

7. Attention, Attention: You will need to give your plant, plenty of water and keep in a very sunny spot, to help it to grow.

8. Assist, Assist: Every time the stem grows another six inches, you will need to pinch back the newest leaves. So, you can encourage for more leaves to grow and your avocado to become a fuller plant.

Consider to continue reading because Living Better Cafe is not done yet, Why there more to learn about growing your avocado plant. Yes there is more to learn about this healthy fruit, and your going to want to know more. So, here we go.

Climate: When it comes to temperature, you are going to want to pay close attention to because In most regions, avocado plants adore summer like temperatures. So, it will need to stay in a warm climate that does not witness temperatures less than 45 degrees.

You are going to want to plant it in a large hole, about 3 feet wide by three feet deep) in a well drain soil, in a place that has direct sunlight.

You will need to water, your plant regularly. But, do not over water. How do you know your over watering your plant? The leaves on your plant will become discolored, a yellowish color to them.

Money Saving Tip....Flavored Cooking spray



Please consider reading what Money Saving Tip must offer because Living Better Café cares about you!

Living Better Café want to welcome you to, Money Saving Tip Tuesday, were every Tuesday of the week there will be a money-saving tip surprise waiting for you. Whether it be a valuable tip on how to spend less, or a money-saving recipe, Living Better Café will always keep you covered. Therefore, you don’t have to feel stressed out about how much money to spend because it all depends on where you shop, and how much you’re willing to spend. Now do you see how much comfortable living Better Café has made it for you!

Today Living Better Café is bringing you, an awesome delicious deal breaker, or recipe that will keep your wallet and taste buds happy. Therefore, why don’t you come see what has Living Better Café buzzing. I Katrina Smith at Living Better Café would be, so happy to see you here, which Living Better Café would be glad to see you to.

Why spend close to $11.00 and that’s counting tax, on a bottle of cooking spray? When you can save nearly as much. Living Better Café has the perfect recipe solution just for you. So, say Adios to Hydrogenated oils which are no good for you, and Hola to Healthy and flavorful oils that’s good for you.

Makes: 17 FL Ounce

Garlic Tomato Basil Cooking Oil

What you’re going to need:

1 17 FL Ounce Extra Virgin Olive Oil (E.V.O.O)
1-2 Bubs of Garlic, Peeled
Sun-dried cherry tomatoes
Fresh Basil



Direction:

1. Peel both blubs of Garlic, and add the Basil and sun-dried cherry tomatoes, to the Olive oil.
2. Place the lid on the Olive oil and give it a good shake, then store in a cool dry dark place, for 1-2 weeks before using it. *Highly recommend storing it in your refrigerator*

Step 4 is optional. But, I would highly recommend that you don’t skip this step.

3. After one to two-week are up, strain the oil into a different bottle with an easy pouring spout or just place into a spray bottle and your set to go. (before taking this step, you want to give a taste test to make sure the flavors have infused together.)

4. When it comes to placing food into your body, we need to place very close attention to what we consume and how much. So, what comes to mind when you think about food left out in opened spaces, whether it be in a can or in a jar? Botulism! So, now you will see why Living Better Café and Katrina Smith highly recommend that you don’t skip this step.

Living Better Café corner:
When it comes to making food in general, you want to make sure that, you don’t give space or air for “Botulism” this nasty little bugger to grow. And then later cause you more problem down the line, which later makes you and everyone else you have prepared this recipe for “SICK”. So, it’s best to refrigerate the oil, it will last in your refrigerator for a month. If the ingredient begins to discolor, discard the oil immediately because of this nasty little bugger has started to grow.

Administrators corner:

I want to share a little story about myself here, which I know seem to be a little out of the loop. But, do not worry it's about food. You know when your little and your parent's or someone much older then you makes a meal for you, and you have to eat what is fixed. Well this story is about younger me but, I will not go into much detail because of how sensitive some people maybe about food. While younger me tried eating bean sprout's and me being a younger child, at the time my younger child imagination vision something quite different. So, now as an adult I am still not fond of eating them because of the taste. But, I still carry that vision with me even though I know how good Bean sprout's are.

Bean Sprouts which is as called "Mung Bean Spouts", are loaded with good source of Vitamin "C" Protein and Fiber.

Money Saving Tip Tuesday... Margarine




Picture From: Tabletmag.com

Welcome to another edition of Money Saving tips.
In this edition I will be sharing some cool tips that won't break your bank, and will keep you smiling from ear to ear all the time.

Once again thank you for sticking around for, this third edition of money saving tips for this January edition. I will be bring you different money saving tip's daily on saving cash in your wallet, every Tuesday. This week on money saving tip's Living Better Cafe wants to, help you save more cash in your wallet than ever before. This week I will be giving you tip's on how you can make your own margarine at home. Yes, margarine can become quite expensive at times but, why spend a lot of money when you can spend less and make it yourself. So, I am here to give you some tips which also included a recipe that you can follow.

First there seem to be a battle over what is more healthy butter or, margarine as I have done researched plenty of times. While there is one research that really still stands out to me, and that would be back in the year of 2005. Reading after reading news paper articles and even going online. Researcher claimed that margarine was basically melted plastic. Weird hey? Yeah but, to each's own there is always going to be someone saying something negative about food.

So, you can read about the truth here at Living Better Cafe or, you can believe what the next researcher say's.

As I really could not rest until I got to the truth behind Margarine, and which I can finally say and hope you all can rest as well.

But, before I do I just want to point out that, every margarine company out there is not the same. For example, one company may use a scientific name for the ingredients they chose to place into their margarine. Which makes it harder for you and I to understand.

Yes, there has been rumor escalating around since 2005 but, I can finally help put these rumors to rest.

Some company's came to realize that the ingredients that they have been using was not good at all. So, they made a much better choice in going a different route. They swapped out the old and brought in the new, and what was the new? They started using vegetable oil or, canola oil.

Now let's get to the base on whether Margarine is good....Calorie wise!

Both butter and margarine carry the same amount of calories, and each of them carries about a Tablespoon.

I hope that I have helped you brighten your horizon on Margarine, that this make you rethink when you take your next trip to the grocery store. Why maybe your next trip will be going out and grabbing a few items to make it yourself.

So, Here is that recipe that I have mentioned.

1 C. Olive oil
1 C. Cold water
1 Tbsp. Liquid lecithin
7 Drops of yellow food coloring

Directions:

1. Add 1 c. each of oil and water to mixing bowl.

2. Add in lecithin and food coloring.

3. Mix until completely blended together.

4. once completely blended store inside your refrigerator to allow it to set.

*Flavor enhancer:
if you want to add flavor to make your Margarine pop, you can add the followings.

1. salt

2. Pepper

3. herbs

4. Spices

* Note:

What is Lecithin?

Lecithin is found in many animal and vegetable sources, including beef liver, steak, eggs, peanuts, cauliflower, and oranges. Commercial sources for lecithin may come from soybeans, egg yolk, or even brain tissue.

Now your next questions lies, where can you find Lecithin?

Lecithin can be found in most health food stores.

Next would be but, what if I can not find Lecithin?

Now, Now do not worry I have you covered, with common and scientific names.

So, lets start off with Common names first.

1. Lecithol

2. Vitellin

3. Kelecin

4. Granulestin

Now here are the scientific names

1. 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine

Living Better Precautions:

With everything you take in there is always a side effect. So, read the labels carefully and do ask questions? by going to the health pharmacist.
