Happy New Year! How are all of your resolutions going? 🙂 While I prefer to think of them as "goals" rather than "resolutions", at various annual turning points, many of us tend to reevaluate where we are and decide on some changes that we want to make for the upcoming months. And those changes often… Continue reading Cherry Tangerine Smoothie from 40 Days of Green Smoothies & Giveaway!
I know I've been away for a while but it's been one of those times when life gets in the way. Nothing bad, just lots going on, including a good bit of travel. Taking little trips is one of my very favorite things to do, so I try to do it as often as I… Continue reading Winter to Spring Super Slaw

His recipe uses carrot juice, so is fairly light yet warming with the pepper and spices. I wanted one that was a little more substantial, so… Continue reading Raw Spicy Carrot Soup
One of my favorite things is green juice. With the right combination of ingredients, green juice is like nothing else ~ pure nutrition, instant energy and total freshness. One of my favorite juices is incredibly simple - kale, romaine, apple, ginger and lemon. Red apples are good, as are green ones. If you don't have… Continue reading Green green juice
Here I am again with something completely unlike me. I have to admit, I'm not one to mix citrus fruits with much else besides other fruits, juices, and smoothies. But lately, I've been seeing lots of recipes online mixing citrus with strange (to me) things - grapefruit in wraps, oranges in sandwiches and such. I… Continue reading Citrusy Spring Rolls
