Green Juice

Organic carrots, organic celery, organic gala apple, oranges, lemon, then I stuffed my Vita-mix to the brim with organic spinach and also some kale. Yum!

Orange Juice

Fresh Juiced Oranges :)

Watermelon Smoothie

My husband made this yummy watermelon smoothie or more like watermelon slushie! He scraped out half of a cold watermelon, put it in the blender with ice, and then served. I buy a lot of watermelon, but the trick is finding the ripest, sweetest, juiciest, and tastiest one! My dad always picked the best watermelon and that's because growing up he would go pick watermelons in the garden. He says all you gotta do is give them a good flick and see which one sounds the most hollow. Over the years I've been able to get some pretty tasty watermelons by following his advice!

"3 Colors" Juice

These three photos are all the same cup of juice, but before adding everything in and then taking the picture, I split it all up so you could see how much the color changes according to the fruit or veggie put in. This cup has organic carrots, organic green apple, organic cabbage, oranges, lemon, & lime.

Then I threw in about a 1/4 of a beet...love the color beets give!

Can't go without adding a bunch of leafy greens! They just don't make the bright vibrant colors of other fruits and veggies.

Baby Juice

Organic salad greens, organic green apple, organic carrot, cucumber, & orange.

Butternut Squash Pasta

I know this is not the prettiest photo, in fact I know not all of my food photos are. So, bear with me as it is a work in progress. :) These are organic pasta noodles with Dave's Gourmet Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce (excellent deal at Costco). I chopped up red onions and garlic (I love these two ingredients) and cooked them in the organic ground turkey meat on the stove. I chopped up zucchini and then threw them and the corn in the pan with the sauce and let it warm up, not cooking too long. I also like putting in raw pine nuts in pasta, something I picked up from a friend...Thanks Letha!

Black Bean Burger

I get these Chipotle Black Bean Burgers at Costco. They are really good, but have a lot of ingredients. We need to find a good homemade black bean burger recipe. If you know of one let me know, thanks! I put organic hummus and dijon mustard on multigrain rounds. For the toppings I put raw zucchini, baby portabella mushrooms, red onions, and spring mix salad greens. Yum!

This Mornings Juice

 I took this with my phone, so the coloring a little bit off, it's just really bright. Organic carrots, oranges, organic green apple, organic beet, cucumber...

Then I added a bunch of organic spring mix salad greens in the blender. I like taking before and after photos because the greens always turn it a brown color. I love the bright vibrant juice colors, but the greens is where the most nutrients are!

Simple Salmon

Alaskan wild caught salmon, organic quinoa, organic spring mix salad w/ carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers. I used Zesty Pepper & Lemon Seasoning Salt on the salmon and broiled them. I also love eating fish with freshly squeezed lemons.
