Happy New Year's Eve

Happy New Year's Eve!

Just wanted to give a shout out to all my awesome readers and friends and family today.

Tomorrow I start a 60 day juice cleanse and I'm super excited.  My goal is to do a blog a day and a video a day (super scary for me cause I don't like being in front of the camera these days) for the 60 days.

What are your goals?  Do you set resolutions?

See ya next year, juicy fruits!

Call Me Crazy

Go ahead and call me crazy, but there really is magic in fresh juice.

For the past few days here in New England, the weather has been getting warm and then cooling off.  Whenever this happens, my body reacts and I usually catch a cold or some other nasty virus. I get watery eyes, a stuffed up nose, a sore throat and all the other lovely things that come with contracting a virus.

Well, this time has been different. I started getting a  sore throat the other day. I knew what was going on so I decided to make up a hot lemon and drink that before bed. Within a few minutes of drinking the hot lemon (recipe to follow), my throat felt better.  Sounds crazy, but it's true. My sore throat has been coming and going so this morning I made a lemony-apple juice and drank that (recipe to follow)

Now it's noon and my sore throat is nearly gone.

I really love the healing power that fruits and veggies have and yes, you can call me crazy!

Hot Lemon

Fresh Juice from one lemon

1 to 1 1/2 tsp honey

8-12 ounces hot water

Mix together and consume.  This is great for  sore throats and colds.  The best part is that it's natural and does not contain nasty drugs or chemicals.

Lemony Apple

3 Granny Smith Apples

1 Lemon

1 inch piece of ginger

Run this through your juicer and drink.  This is a pretty tart juice so if you don't like tart, feel free to add or replace one or two of the apples with another variety.

Happy Holidays

Today's Juice

Apple

Cucumber

Carrot

Parsley

Very good and easy juice!  It's kind of a funky orange color, but very tasty!

Wow!  Just two more days and Christmas is here! I've been taking a bit of time off before the holidays, but I haven't forgotten about you, my readers!

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas :)  Spend time with the people you love. Sleep in and get some rest.  I'll be MIA for the next few days, but will be back next week preparing for the launch of the book (soo exciting)  :)

xoxo, juicy fruits :)

Needed Down Time

With the Christmas in just a few days, I've been taking some needed down time and enjoying myself.  What that really means is I have been coming up with more and even better juice recipes and watching many marathons of holiday movies.  It's been awesome!

I hope everyone else is enjoying themselves this time of the year. 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, juicy fruits
 

Another Day at the Office

It's just another day at the office.

Today's Juice

Apple

Carrot

Lemon

Kale

I wasn't sure of this combination when I first juiced it but I was very pleasantly surprised by both the tartness and sweetness of it.  It was a lovely way to start the day.

The book is coming along nicely. I've been working on the finishing up a couple of the chapters and formatting. I'm so excited about this book it's unbelievable!

I'm also working on the website a little more as I learn a little more each day about HTML and website publishing. It's funny how easy it is to surf the internet without a passing thought to what goes into making the pages.

Have a great day,  Juicy Fruits!

Wicked Cool and Easy!

Today's juice was really good!  Simple and just what I needed to start my day.  I don't know about you folks, but I really love starting the day off with 24-32 oz of juice.  It just sets me up to have a really good day.

Here's the recipe:

Today's Juice:

2 small apples

3 large carrots

1 cup butternut squash

So I was cruising around looking at cool things for this site and the other one and I found this place where people can customize tees without all the overhead costs. 

I thought that was wicked cool so I designed a shirt for the blog and website and book. I think the whole process took me about 10 minutes!  You gotta love that!

And here it is!  The Let's Juice It Tee!

I cannot wait for mine to come in the mail.  I think I will buy my fiance one too!

Have fun, juicy fruits :)
