My Food Philosophy

It starts with realizing your connection with the Earth. The earth will always provide you with the food that you need. Whole food in its purest form. Not chemically laden formulas disguised as food. You will begin to appreciate the people who grow the food. You will not settle for a fruit or vegetable that was grown in the most clean way possible. Because, you see, the energy from these foods becomes a part of you when you ingest it. It's all about conscious eating. Being aware of not only what you put in your mouth but where is comes from. I choose to live a plant based and gluten free lifestyle. This blog is an evolution of sorts. It starts with my dedication to using whole foods and moves into my dedication to a plant based cooking lifestyle. All those recipes you didn't think you could have eating the way I do....Bon Appetite

For the Love of Juice


I love juicing. But, it wasn't always that way. I came into it about a year ago and went out of it pretty quickly. I had a crappy juicer that was alot of work to clean and it didnt juice very well. So, I broke down and bought a Jack LaLane juicer. I got sucked into an infomercial one day and was convinced. I juice everyday for myself and every other day for the kids. The kids love it....thank God they don't know the little stuff I slip into it:) Does vegetable juice taste like V8 in the juicer? No, it still taste good though. The only downside is that you cannot really store it, so it needs to be made fresh everyday. Cleaning sucks as well, but it can go in the dishwasher, which is nice.
Here are two of the recipes I made today. The picture does not do the taste justice. Looks gross....tastes great. It makes me happy just thinking about it. Bottoms up!

My juice:
1/2 to 1 cucumber
handful of spinich
2 carrots
2 stalks celery
1 apple
a small piece of ginger

Kids juice:
1 apple
1 orange
1/4 cucumber
small handful of spinich
1 carrot
handful of grapes
