A New Kind Of Orange Juice

one large grapefruit
one naval orange
one cara cara naval orange (pink on the inside like a grapefruit)

Or 

one cara cara naval orange
one naval orange
one tangerine

Juice all three of these together and you have a wonderful new kind of orange juice.
Both of these taste great. I like to make up new mixtures with whatever I have on hand or whatever is in season.

Bubble and squeak. An Irish dish

If you are on a super cheap budget this is the meal for you. A whole pot comes out to about 6 to 8 dollars and is enough for like 3 meals! Even if you are not on a budget this is a great Irish meal. Super simple to make and only a few ingredients. Try it for yourself and see.  By the way, I am not a cabbage fan but I do like this meal.


Ingredients
One head of cabbage diced
1/2 an onion diced
1 package of beef country sausage cut into slices
5 - 6 regular potatoes chunked
Salt, pepper, and garlic to taste
Added water till it is about 3/4 of the way to the top of the ingredients after you have put cabbage, potatoes, and onion in pot.

Directions
In a large pot layer potatoes on the bottom, then cabbage, then onions.  Add your water and spices. Cook on low till cabbage cooks down and potatoes are soft. Add the sausage about 10 minutes before it is done cooking.

The Breville Juice Fountain Plus

We decided that the juicer we were using before was way too difficult and time consuming to us. Ultimately we decided on the Breville Juice Fountain because it is super easy to use, it juices quickly, and it is really quick and easy to clean. It doesn't get as much juice out of the kale as our other juicer but overall it juices everything else very well. Having a juicer that only takes about 5-10 minutes to use will be extra motivation to use it daily!

After making your own homemade orange juice, you may never go back!

What I am eating, March 2012

February food blogging went very well. I am hoping with the warmer weather that March will bring that it will motivate me to continue to eat healthy. I am hoping to add a few new recipes also. So far this year I have not been sick; I give the praise to the Lord for this blessing and for the opportunity to eat healthier than I have before . I also have had plenty of energy for all the activity I do.

So I haven't added any posts in a while. I have been having a little bit of trouble out of my allergies for the past 2 weeks. Basically what I have been doing for the last 2 weeks is juicing for two meals and eating one solid meal.  Lots of soups and fruit. I tried local honey with mint tea and that seems to help also. So far right now I feel great.  I am hoping that it is over for the year! I really think doing all the vegetable juicing helped a ton; oh, and I prayed A LOT! That probably helped the most.
