I've started a 30 day juicing intensive; I'm both excited and nervous. I guess nervous because I'm not sure how my body will react. But I should be o.k. as I will not be fasting...it's not one of those juicing intensives. But excited because I get to feel healthier, and I get the bonus of using the pulp for either compost or baked goods. Yay! So my first intention is to juice every day; my second is to commit to watching my lessons every day. I will post major moments as I go along, and also photos of whatever goodies I bake.
I'll also be posting pics of my new garden -- constructed with my very hands...and of course my fiance's. We built an 8' x 6' vegetable garden, I chose an evergreen color for the raised bed. For our first run we planted: tomatoes, green peppers, chocolate peppers, onions, green beans, a combination of lettuces, and pumpkins (both mini and large). And one corner was dedicated to herbs: curly parsley, chives, rosemary and basil. To have some extra herbs for juicing, I decided to plant in a terracotta pot some American parsley, mint, thyme and purple basil. It's all very exciting as this is my first go at doing some "farming"...let's see if I have my mother's green thumb...I tell you one thing, like her, I love the feel of earth in my hands.
Tomorrow morning I'll be making the below juice, feel free to give it a try:
Pineapple-Kale
6-8 stalks of kale
1/2 large cucumber
1/2 bunch parsley (or cilantro)
1/4 to 1/3 pineapple
1 medium apple (either yellow or green)
