Adventures in Juicing

 I've been juicing since I got my fabulous new juicer on Christmas Eve! It's something I've always wanted to do, literally for years. I don't know why it took me so long to get one.

The first thing I did was jump onto Pinterest and pin every juice recipe in existence. I made sure to follow every recipe exactly. If it called for a half inch of ginger, I got my ruler out.

To make a long story short, many Food Network mornings and a fortnight later, I am now coming up with my own recipes and eyeballing the portions myself. I like to call this, Everything But The Kitchen Sink & No Expensive Fruits And Vegetables, Juice. I made a large mason jar worth of juice, which made for a tasty and filling breakfast. If you follow recipes and are curious how to make this orange colored goodness:

Everything But The Kitchen Sink & No Expensive Fruits And Vegetables, Juice
4 Whole Carrots
1 Granny Smith Apple
1 Orange
1 Cucumber

1/2 Lemon (You could do a whole one. I just had a half left in the fridge.)
1/2 Lime, peeled unless you love bitter things
1/2 Pineapple
1 Banana



It come out very orange - reminiscent of a Halloween store clearance section.

Enjoy! What are your favorite juicing recipes??

Back at it! (Happy Birthday Elvis!)


Today starts a new year of blogging!
I've missed Blogger, and am back at it. What a day to start too, being Elvis' 79th birthday and all. Elvis died 11 years before I was born. I always wondered what it would have been like if he wouldn't have died young and would be around today for me to enjoy. I visited Graceland in 2013, and it was an emotional experience. Beautiful. Energetic. Perfect.

For the new year, I am going to share my stories of finding a new career, my juicing recipes that I discover in my kitchen, my art that I will continue to make, and maybe some rants about my Old Hollywood obsessions.



Long live the King of Rock n Roll.
