Juicing: Strawberry Sour Patch

After last night's intense 90 min. hot yoga class - I slept like a baby!! Got up at 5:30 this morning juiced and began my day right!! Now having an egg white omelet w/spinach and turkey and boiled baby red potatoes. Oh Yeah! On my way to bringing sexy back....although my husband begs to differ saying "Sexy Never Left Baby"........... 

STRAWBERRY SOUR PATCH

1 Bunch Kale
2 Handfuls of Spinach (not shown in pic - added the spinach last minute)
2 Green Apples
1/2 Large Pink Grapefruit
1 Orange
4-5 Strawberries

Purple Healing Potion in a Jar

Seriously! I bet if people drank this juice daily a multitude of their ailments and/or diseases would be cleansed away.  

I started eating Bok Choy about 7 months ago.  Never thought about eating, let along drinking Bok Choy juice.  On one visit to Trader Joe's I ran across Bok Choy - the package also contained a recipe...Holy Wow!!! Delish!! Can't recall what it was, but the next time I make it I'll post it.  

At any rate....after my first try, then other try's in smoothies, I was quickly hooked on Bok Choy; and the health benefits of juicing Bok Choy are out of this world beneficial.  

This recipe that follows is one of my own....Love it and already feel my body detoxifying as I sit here and type.  

I mean imagine this..... 

The antioxidants and healing benefits of Beets, swirled in with a major boost of calcium found in Bok Choy, not to mention that this rich calcium gives your brain and nervous system major support boost.   Add a hint of detoxifying properties found in Carrots that helps cleanse your liver; and the bitter-sweet taste of Grapefruit that provides an abundance of vitamin's A, B, C, E, K.  Juice these ingredients and you my friend have a miracle healing potion in a jar (or cup, depending on what you prefer)

Juicing for a Cure Day 17 - Keeping the Doctor's baffled

Well yesterday was my first upper endoscopy, the doctors wanted to check for ulcers, considering I was recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease.  Prior to the test, I told my doctor the results will baffle him. I started juicing twice a day, stopped eating gluten products and daily products (another allergy, he said I have), and my prayed prayed prayed....well lets just say the Power of Prayer has prevailed, yet again.  

After the procedure, the doctor said to me, whatever you're doing keep doing, we found not one ulcer and expect to find the same in the next procedure in two weeks.  I said to him, I'm praying & juicing...he said well keep it up!!!  

and so I will ......

2 Handfuls of Spinach
4 Kale Leaves
1 Small Handful of Mint Leaves
1 Cup Pineapple
2 Granny Smith Apples

Juicing for a Cure Day 9: Carrot & Beet Juice

I'll be purchasing a new juicer very soon  After reading about the Centrifugal Juicers, which I have...... no offense to Jack LaLanne but according to Dr. Max Gerson:  

“When the grinding wheel rotates against a resistance with insufficient access of air, positive electricity is produced and induces negative electricity on the surrounding wall. The exchange of positive and negative ions kills the oxidizing enzymes and renders the juice deficient.” – Dr. Max Gerson, MD

On that note: I'll be purchasing another juicer "Champion" found here:  http://www.renewedhealth.com/juicers/champion-commercial-juicer-72.html

Well it's Day 9 - I'm on a roll!!!  Yesterday I purchased all my fruits and veggies for the next two weeks.  My husband is now juicing along with me, being as he felt significantly better after juicing this past week. 

Last year my husband was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy (a kidney disease).  We of course changed our eating habits and instead of agreeing to any type of drugs we decided to clean up our act and started eating healthier.  Well to the Doctor's surprise, my husband's levels were completely normal, after 3 months of eating completely healthy.  As a matter of fact, my husband could consume protein in excess if he wanted to, where he was once limited to a certain amount of protein, phosphate, etc.  - So he's adding juicing to his diet, and loving it!

We all have our own medicine in our own back yard.  Follow the signs to your local farmers market and there is where you will find a cure for everything imaginable. 

For those of you who have Netflix, I encourage you to watch Gerson's Miracle or read more about his therapy and way of living here:  http://gerson.org/gerpress/

Juicing for a Cure Day 4: The Green Juice

So I've decided to drink fresh juice twice a day.  It's the first thing I drank this morning!!!  Off to a good start!!

On my last post I mentioned drinking fresh juice on an empty stomach (at least 20 min. prior to a meal), so why not let it be the first thing I start my day off with......

FYI:  Day two was rough in my giving up coffee routine - However, I have to say on day 3 and today, day 4 - I feel great!!!  No headaches, No grumpiness, no cravings....can I hear a Woot Woot!


Juicing for a Cure DAY 4

"The Green Juice"
2 Celery Stalks
½ Cucumber
3 Swiss Chard Leaves
2 Kale Leaves
1-2 Apples (I used 2) - If an Apple a day keeps the doctor away...imagine what two a day will do...

I found 30 recipes for 30 days here:  Green Juice a Day; but go in no particular order since I decided to start drinking twice a day.....



2 Celery Stalks, 1/2 Cucumber, 3 Swiss Chard Leaves, 2 Kale Leaves, 2 Apples

 


I used a sticky note: placed it on top of the lid then twisted the band....genius!!

 


The Green Juice - Oh Yeah!!!

Juicing for a Cure Day 3: "Green Detox "

Some things I'm learning along the way while juicing......

HEALTHY FACT: ALWAYS drink fresh juice on an empty stomach - this allows the vitamins and minerals in the juice to go straight to your bloodstream. Having fiber or a meal already in your stomach prevents your body from quickly absorbing the nutrients from the juice. General rule of thumb: Eat 20 min. after drinking your fresh juice.

Juicing for a Cure DAY 2

"Green Detox"
½ Head of Romaine
1 Handful of Spinach
2 Kale Leaves
10 Sprigs of Cilantro
2 Apples (Fuji or Granny Smith)
½ Lime

Green Detox

WOW YUM!!!!!

Juicing for a Cure DAY 1 | "Pineapple Jalapeño"

Sorry guys. I can longer make smoothies and share them with you.  Instead I am juicing for a cure.

Recently I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease which limits me to practically juicing to help aid in digestion.

To add I am also allergic to milk products and gluten.

It's about time I kick some butt and reverse the symptoms of this disease and help raise awareness along the way.

Green with Envy

 

So every now and again, I start making my own blend with greens and fruits I enjoy.  I'm learning the sweetness of one fruit or bitterness of a green can be enhanced by other fruits/greens; and so I explore and blend....this was delish!! and I now have a new obsession with Watercress!!!

1 cup premium coconut water with pineapple, guava and passion fruit. (I got mine at Trader Joe's)
+
1 handful baby spinach...
1 handful watercress
1 handful shredded Kale
1 cup frozen pineapple
1 banana
1 Tbsp virgin coconut oil (Trader Joe's)

Thoughts......

When we give up our weakness to God.  He definitely brings the darkness to light, and reveals Himself with upmost and unconditional love and forgiveness.

Be careful not to let that light shine too bright!! Sometimes we are blinded along the way and fall short of the Glory of God.  We take advantage of God’s favor, and forget to continue to praise Him for getting us through and sustaining us on that righteous path.  Praise Him through any storms or rainbows that may come. 

We sin daily - Renew your faith daily, and you’ll see just how Great our God is!!

Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit

Dr. Seuss - Wacky Hat Day with a little recycling along the way......

It's Dr. Seuss week at my daughters school and she was so excited to make her own little hat; of course she asked her DIY mommy to help create something cool and unique.

So......we began to think think think!!!

“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!” - Dr. Seuss

Recycle TP Roll and create a mini top hat - she has these cute hair pieces that are little hats with feathers, why not create our own mini Dr. Seuss top hat???

Brooke's Mini Dr. Seuss Top Hat

These were the steps we took.....

We used a paper plate for the top hat to sit.  My husband helped us cut out the red strips (cardstock paper), cause I don't have the steadiest hands when cutting any paper, or anything for that matter.

After, we used Mod Podge to glue the paper around TP roll we let it dry, then glossed the entire top hat with Mod Podge again for a nice glossy look and to ensure all pieces of paper were secure. 

We filled the TP Roll with tissue, so that the hot glue had something to stick on to when gluing down the top and bottom pieces of paper.

After, I took a hair clip and hot glued it to the bottom of the hat. . . Next morning Brooke woke up with the brightest smile ready to show off her mini Dr. Seuss top hat ......


 

 

 





Avocado Egg Rolls w/Cilantro Dipping Sauce

I'm gonna start off by apologizing .... I prepared these delicious egg rolls.  One of many appetizers I made for my husbands surprise birthday party - and they were so good, but by the time I remembered to take a picture of the Egg Rolls all pretty on the serving tray, they were all gone!!  But I was able to get a picture of them while taking pictures of others. . . .

For the Dipping Sauce (party in your mouth) you will need:

2 bunches cilantro

3 teaspoons honey

½ teaspoon fresh lime juice

¼ cup olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste 

For the filling you will need:

4 avocados

½ tomato, chopped

3 green onions, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

½ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon chili powder

½ lime, juiced

¼ teaspoon salt

8 to 16 egg roll wrappers (available at the produce section of supermarkets)

¼ tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

Prepare the dipping sauce:

In food processor combine cilantro, honey, lime juice. Pulse until smooth, adding olive oil slowly as you mix, to make a runny sauce. Let sauce sit while you make the egg rolls, so the flavors can make love.

Let's get Started on the rest:

Cut all avocados in half and scoop out the center. Chop the tomato, green onions and garlic and toss into a bowl with the avocados. Put cumin, chili powder and lime into the bowl. Mash gently with potato masher until creamy, but there are still chunks of avocado.

Instructions for assembling the egg roll:

Peel off one egg roll wrapper. Place about 2 tablespoons of the avocado mixture at one end of the wrapper.

Roll once. Fold in the sides. Continue to roll. When you get to the end wet the wrapper with water. Finish rolling and press the wet end of the wrapper closed with your fingers.

Keep making egg rolls until you’ve used all the filling.

** IMPORTANT ** Place each egg roll on a damp paper towel covered with a damp paper towel. You don’t want them to dry out.

Pour olive oil in a preheated skillet over medium high heat. Brown egg rolls on each side turning when needed. When browned on each side place on paper towel lined plate.

Season with salt and serve with dipping sauce.



My niece AJ with her Daddy savoring all the goodies.......

Grilled Romaine Hearts - Yes I said Grilled!!!

GRILLED ROMAINE HEARTS WITH AVOCADO-LIME DRESSING

What you need.....

 

2 romaine hearts, washed, trimmed, and sliced in half
1 clove of garlic (chopped)

2 tablespoons olive oil
a pinch of salt and pepper

Avocado Lime Dressing

1 ripe avocado
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped all small
½ teaspoon agave or honey
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup water
salt to taste

For the dressing, put all the ingredients in a small food processor and combine until creamy. Add the pinch of sea salt and mix it in. If too thick, add more water until it looks like salad dressing (like a ranch dressing texture). Pour it all into a small container and refrigerate until the lettuce is ready.

Medium/High Heat on Grill

Mix Oil/Salt/Pepper/Garlic and brush or spoon the oil mixture to the cut side of the lettuce. Place the lettuce face down on the grill for 60 seconds or until there are clear grill marks and the leaves are beginning to wilt. Flip the hearts over and grill the other side for another 60 seconds. 

 

 

 

When they look good, put them on a plate and put some dressing over the hearts. Top with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and plenty of black pepper.

 Enough for 4 people with some extra dressing

 

 

~*~ Party in your Mouth ~*~

 

Blooming Onion Bread - Oh Yeah!!!!!

My husbands birthday had me grilling and creating things I've never done before, but recipe kept my mouth watering, so making this was a must.......

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

1 Unsliced loaf of Sourdough Bread (I picked one up from Panera Bread)

 

12-16oz Montery Jack Cheese block (thinly sliced) - I actually used 8oz and I thought it was more

than enough - I couldn't used a few more slices, but all n'all it was outstanding!!

 

1/2 Cup Butter

 

1/2 Cup Finely diced green onions (I placed green onions in the food processor first then measured 1/2 cup)

 

2 Tsp. Poppy Seeds

 

Cut the bread lengthwise and widthwise without cutting through the bottom crust. This can be a little tricky going the second way but the bread is very forgiving.

 

Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Insert cheese slices between cuts.

 

Melt butter and combine green onions and poppy seeds.  Drizzle over bread.  Wrap in foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Unwrap the bread and bake 10 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.

While still in oven it looked like this:

 

Then of course presentation is everything....this was the first of many goodies I made for my husbands B-Day dinner:

It looked like this for just a few minutes, before we pulled apart and devoured!!!

DIY - Jewelry Hanger

Another day of DIY'ing !!

I found an old frame and put it to use.  First I went to Home Depot, bought myself Gutter Guard (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Amerimax-Home-Products-6-in-x-36-in-Hinged-Gutter-Guard-Unpainted-85280BX/100002884) and a pair of Snips.

Got home and got to work.....

So simple and easy to do!!  TADA!!





Now hung in our bathroom, that way my daughters and I have a place to hang our jewelry rather than taking chance of losing it by leaving them on top of the sink.
