When you make a Green Monster Smoothie, don’t bother with measurements. Just go for it. My sister-in-law said that I should open my own Green Monster Smoothie bar at our local Farmer’s Market. I think it’s a brilliant idea! Maybe this Spring? *** My $20 Oster blender works just fine for me! You don’t need...
When we started eating this super healthy nutrient-dense way, we both really wanted a super blender like a BlendTec or a Vitamix. Joe and I would practically drool over them. Everyday Joe would say, “We just HAVE to get one of those blenders, if we’re really going to do this.” But they cost between $300...
For ease of explanation, we’ve been telling people that we’re eating a Vegan diet. Well, it is true! But there is more to it than that. Vegan seems to be a loaded term, which is fine if you feel it accurately describes you—not only what you eat, but the reasons why, which (for veganism) seem...
We spent a full day in Columbus at the Zoo. We took a 3 day road trip to Niagara Falls, Kirtland OH, and Palmyra NY. We have other trips planed for longer and farther than this. So, we’ve been figuring out how to eat on the road, healthy style. Tips: Think fresh, crisp veggies (carrots,...
Here are a few payoffs I’ve noticed so far, but I’m not claiming they’re totally connected to eating this super healthy way though I’m inclined to think so myself. This has not been any sort of scientific experiement, but it has been a personal one none-the-less. Eczema gone. I should note that I have been...
Our friends are having a BBQ Potluck, yippy! Wait! What will we do? We’ll be surrounded! Before we decided to do this whole big healthy eating kick, Joe and I already talked about this. We hoped our friends would still invite us over and not be scared or worried about hosting us. We certainly do...
Today we begin our 4th day on this VegiCarni eating thang. Curious about how its been going so far? Here is the low down… Cheats: I’ve sneaked chocochips. Guilty. Got rid of those last night though, and consequently (I think) have suffered from a nasty headache a few hours after the 2 times I cheated....
Robin. She is my oldest sister. She has always, always been very beautiful. Gorgeous, really. She’s the whole package. Inside, outside, intelligent, funny, compassionate. Everyone needs a sister like Robin. I feel this way about all my sisters. I hope my Roo gets to have at least one sister! Anyway, I was very interested when...
So, what is the plan anyway? Well, the basic idea behind it is that you should eat plenty of healthful, nutrient packed foods, and avoid foods that are high in calories but empty in nutrients. Makes sense, huh? But without a plan, I’m pretty sure I’ll be making brownies by the middle of the second...
