Last October Ron ordered a juicer. He did a lot of research and found the one with the best reviews and lowest cost --making sure we would actually use the thing. It really was not that expensive and, so far, it has worked beautifully...it even juices greens well. Ron and I are sliding towards that big number.....and it does not begin with a 2, 3 or 4! :-) Ron turns that big milestone this year and he is very proud if it. (I love his attitude...I'm not quite as enthusiastic about that number as he is...I'm just not going to think about.)
Anyway.....The above picture is of one of the first recipes out of his juicer. Sweet potatoes, an apple, carrots, and some greens. I had some Cinnamon from an Amish Farm that I had visited in Kansas and we sprinkled some on. It was so delicious!!! The kids loved it.
Ron does everything in a big way. He went into research mode and specifically looked into recipes that would focus in on each of our health concerns. I'm so appreciative of that. He researched the heck out of my health and it's "female" in nature if you get my drift. I think he knows more about me that I do. So he added black strap molasses (organic, unsulfered) to our mix along with some Apple cider Vinegar (organic, with the mother...are you laughing? We were until we researched...."the mother"...it all makes sense) to a few of our juices.
He quickly learned it was going to take a whole lot of produce to make a pitcher of juice....because he can't just make one glass. Remember...everything in a big way! But with our house full, it does not sit in the refrigerator long. Andrew and Christian have asthma and allergies so he researched that. We've made some big changes to their diet and they have been fairly compliant.
Dear Beth,
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting me.
You have a beautiful family.
You are so pretty and so is your blog.
I look forward to getting to know you!
I'm visiting your blog at the suggestion of "South Shore
ReplyDeleteMommy" who said she thought we had similar interests and that I might enjoy it. Which I do. You have a beautiful family and such a precious little girl.
I have a question. Would you mind telling me the name of the juicer you got. I've been thinking about getting one but haven't wanted to spend the money, especially if I don't end up using it much.
Have a blessed day,
Deborah
Thanks for the juicer info. Looking forward to trying it.
ReplyDeleteWish you were able to make it to Pearl Event II.
Have a blessed day.
I loved the juicer story! I am envious you have one. I just throw everything in a blender right now. Even greens are tastey combined with the right ingredients. I like using sugar free almond milk.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Adam so much in class. Please tell him "Hi" for me and I will remember him in my prayers for all he is taking on right now. What a great young man. God has special plans for him! Some people are only in our lives for a short time but leave a big impact. Adam is certainly one of those people in my life. God bless you for being such good parents to him.
