Kid's Snack- Dessert Nachos!

What you need-
Flour tortillas, any size
Bananas
Strawberries
Chocolate syrup
Cinnamon /sugar mixture
Pam

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Cut tortillas in whatever shapes you like.  We did hearts.
2. Lightly coat each of the chips with Pam cooking spray.  Bake for 10-15 mins.
3. While the chips are cooking, take your bananas and strawberries and slice them up. 
4. Prepare your plate with a drizzle of the chocolate syrup.  Add about half of the bananas and strawberries on top of the chocolate.
5.  When the chips are crispy, take them out and VERY lightly spray with more Pam.  I am serious when I say just VERY lightly.  Sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar mix.
6. Put the chips on top of the strawberries and bananas, then top off with the remaining strawberries and bananas.  As a delicious finish to the dish, drizzle with more chocolate syrup.

Natural Cold Remedy

Let me start by saying that I am not a doctor, and have no medical training.  But, I heard of this bath while talking to some friends, and a few weeks later, after getting sick, decided to give it a try.  I'm not sure if it was the bath itself, or a placebo affect, but it seemed to do a pretty good job.  If you are pregnant or have any health concerns, consult a physician before trying this.

1. Run a hot bath. It opens pores and prepares body for cleansing.
2. Add three pints of hydrogen peroxide (3%). This oxygenates the body and helps purge toxins. It’s also antibacterial and antiviral.
3. Add two ounces of ground ginger, a natural anti-inflammatory that increases blood circulation and helps promote the elimination of toxins through sweat.
4. Soak for about 30 minutes.
5. Drink lots of water; You need to replenish what’s being pulled out of your system.

Within 5 minutes of soaking in the tub, my body felt like it had turned into a faucet. Sweat started pouring down my face and out of every pore. Afterward, I drank two large glasses of water and crawled into bed. I slept like a baby that night, and to my surprise, woke up feeling more energetic and less achy than the day before. Miraculous! I only need that one soak to feel vastly better, but my aunt suggests repeating the bath for up to three days if symptoms persist.
