Okay, this is my new favorite food. In the back of Kris Carr’s AMAZING book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips (a fabulous book, even for those of us who don’t have cancer), she has put some recipes, one of which being pesto. Now, pesto is pretty much pesto- basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil and parmesan [...]

Green Smoothie Challenge!!
I’ve joined The Raw Divas “Green Smoothie Challenge.” I’m a bit light on the details, but I DO know that I’ll be drinking A LOT of greens for three days straight. I guess I’ll have to postpone my Costco trip until I get the recipes. I can’t wait!!

Craigslist is Bad for Raw Wannabes Too
So, I’m hoping to get a Vita Mix this afternoon for $80!! I put the call in, so hopefully she’ll call back. It doesn’t have a lid, but for $80, who cares??!! I’ll get the lid on ebay or hold a towel over the top. Say a prayer! This is an INCREDIBLE deal!

1.5 apples
1 lemon
1 stalk kale
2 carrots
2 stalks celery
1/4 beet
I put all those through my Lexen Healthy Juicer and voila! Delicious, detoxifying juice that even my [...]

Back Up
So, I’m back. After recently re-discovering my juicer and finding Raw Model, I find myself newly inspired and determined to bring back healthy habits into our home. Nicky was just diagnosed with eczema. His doc said the most likely triggers are wheat and dairy allergies. Awesome! I can FINALLY cut dairy out of his diet [...]
