Fruity Juicy
This juice packs a punch – perfect for a fresh start morning. All fruit with a bit of parsley…and ginger – I don’t think ginger is a fruit! Fruity Juicy Juice it up! A great thing about this juicer, you don’t need to cut the veggies or fruit up very much…saves time! This one was so good. The green apple and the lemon add some sourness to it…mmm. Green goodness. I think it tasted like a green apple sour candy. My husband laughed at me…it’s…

The less than par pillows were…

Recipe: Morning Juice
Morning Juice Juice! Fresh Juice! About a week ago I watched a documentary on the food we eat – how most of it is ‘food like products’. That sounds so gross. Eating well is important for our bodies, our health and our overall well being. We purchased our Omega juicer about 2 weeks ago and have used it every day since! The Omega is great because it does hard root vegetables like beets and sweet potatoes, yet is also able to do leafy greens like…

Recipe: Skillet Apple Crumble
Sunday dessert – what’s better than skillet apple crumble? Last weekend I made lamb roast and salad – we hung out and ate with the football game on. We were too full for dessert right away.

Skillet apple crumble! Ingredients 1 3/4 cups of flour 2…
